Dear Egypt and its citizens,
Let me make something very clear.
I hate the current life as it is in this country. I hate that everyone believes that anyone who has a different opinion is a traitor, an atheist, or "pretty fabulous".
I hate that everything is dirty. I hate that being clean/polite/decent is equal to being a sissy although you're asked to be all these 3 things whatever your religion is.
I hate that we claim all the time that we love our religion when we're in fact a bunch of hypocrites and we're not even willing to follow its teachings.
I hate that you have to bribe your way to get things done. I hate that most Egyptian are suffering everyday just to be able to satisfy their BASIC needs AKA their RIGHTS.
I hate that every Egyptian soul is cheap. I hate that it's OK if people get killed every other day…HELL it's not JUST OK people actually RECOMMEND the death of others so that "they" live safely!
I hate that everyone is all the time afraid of the government as if they descended upon us from the skies with divine punishment or something. I hate that we sacrifice the young so that the corpses remain stuck on their chairs.
Example:
"Let me *cough cough* tell you something sweet *cough cough* buns, this chair makes my butt so *cough* warm. So warm I never wanna leave it *cough cough* to one of these darn *cough* children".
And GOD knows how much I HATE /LOATHE/ DETEST that every single DAMN thing that happens happen because of some sort of a conspiracy.
Examples:
"OMG, I gained 2 kgs to my weight. Must be the free masons".
"It's very cold today. Anarchists must be on the move".
"Damn! I drank my coffee and yet I feel so sleepy, my cat must have slipped something in my drink".
There's ALWAYS a conspiracy. We're just too much of cowards to admit that it's because we lead losers' lives, we became a bunch of losers ourselves.
But you know what?
I still believe there is hope
I believe that all is not yet lost.
I believe that we can become better. NO! we can become the BEST.
Decades ago, a small country was nuked two times. Today, it's a role model for all other countries.
I believe that the decision to be better is in our hands.
That if we want to be the best, we WILL be the best.
I've always wondered where we should begin. Who should begin? Who should make the first move towards change? The people or the ruler?
The answer I've reached was simple.
BOTH !
One without the other won't do. They'll just end up destroying each other's work.
If you believe that we –as citizens- should change, I couldn't agree more.
If you believe that they –the rulers- should change, I couldn't agree more.
But PLEASE
Don't destroy the tiny little morale people have gained last year please. Last year was probably the first year in which the Egyptians experienced having morale.
PLEASE
Even if you love Mubarak. Even if you currently hate your life. Even if you think the world's end is tomorrow. Even if you think the enemies -whoever they are- are at your door.
PLEASE
No one hates you. No one wants to ruin your life. No one is protesting because they want to destroy your country because IT IS OUR COUNTRY as much as it is yours.
PLEASE have faith in your fellow Egyptians and KNOW that they only want the best for this country.
And KNOW that we'll fight till the end and that we'll never give up or lose hope.
And KNOW that one day, you'll be very proud to go anywhere in the world and scream in the middle of the streets like a crazy person:
"I'm Egyptian"
Everyone PLEASE
Have Faith
