Most of those who deal with public affairs in our country today excel at one thing, namely, at offering you more and more poison every day. Every responsible person, having an iota of wisdom, if he thinks of developing himself in what he is doing, he will subject himself to criticism and evaluation. I do ...

To Maroun Bechara
I read with interest your article in which you told us about “the little girl” who had missed you in the old souk of Batroun, in the place where you used to display, at a nominal price, books for both the poor and the rich. A friend of mine read it on the Bazar Du ...
Read moreIncreasing Love
This is a time in which nothing saves us but solidarity and putting the interests of others before our own. Do not expect salvation from palaces that store up injustice and misery (Amos 3:10). Salvation lies in increasing active love in this time; yes, in this time and in every time.
Read moreTo the Rulers in Lebanon
In ancient culture, the ruler is a reference to be returned to, during the struggles of life, for the wisdom he enjoys… I am returning to you today. I have a question that baffles me. I can deem that it is the question of the millions who are crying out, in silence or in public, ...
Read moreMy Political Stance
In our country, we claim verbally (pay attention to the word: verbally) that, in politics, no person is neutral. I would have hoped that this claim is true; that is, that every human being would have a political consciousness of his own. I am generalizing.

Read moreThe Exiled Christ
I was thinking of the deserted endowments of the Christians; contemplating the exiled Christ! Here, near me, there is an endowment to a monastery where the priest who maintained it, loved the poor. Monks obey! He was removed from his position in the hope that the property of the monastery will be invested for the ...

In the nineteenth century, the disease of “the system of slavery” had spread in the United States of America. Once, the attorney Abraham Lincoln (who became the sixteenth president of his country) saw, in one of the states, black men and women tied up like cattle, and offered for sale at auction! A woman was ...
Read moreShireen’s Story
I followed up some of what was said about the martyr Shireen Abu Akleh by writers, journalists and poets…, and I was enthralled by what the Lebanese singer Moeen Shreif sang for her. Let us agree! In evil, Israel is no stupid country. It knows that its most powerful enemy in the world is the ...
Read moreThe Trade of Votes
In the parliamentary elections in Lebanon, we can do anything! Today I will dedicate my lines to the evil of the "trade of votes". Why are there people, in the elections, who accept to sell their vote? Is it poverty? Is it greed? Is it being clever with people whom we know are using us? ...
