The Students of Love

I have a friend who works in the administration of a school in Lebanon. He told me, “our students, in their last year of high school, used to set up activities that would generate money for them to spend on their graduation party”. This year they broke their habit. They did carry out activities; however, instead of spending the money they had collected on themselves, they decided to give it as a gift to a student whose parents could not pay his tuition for”. This is something of Lebanon, the humane Lebanon, the beautiful Lebanon in its empathy, in which people see the others as “flesh of their flesh and bone of their bones”. I liked to convey this news to you in order to rebuke the faces that are disfiguring our country, the faces that were drawn by ignorance, individualism, selfishness and grudges that took us back to eras at which backwardness is mocking today! Long live the Lebanon of Love!
