  This is 100% true, however you omitted the fact that this is a third world country, even if we live in a so-called democracy we are still living in a tribal system, in other terms leaders call the shots, leaders ask you to this or that. What is even sadder is that most leaders (if not all) are being told what to do…

  I would also like to add that because of all which I previously said in my post, there is absence of initiative… this is why everything is either a reaction to things.

  You are righ, ya abo elshabah… I add twp points:

  1- We really need to “pro-act”.. not just act!
  2- Usually we, as Lebanese, we proact on distruction: before 1975, we hid arms proactively in preparation for war, now, I understand, the sales of arms rose three time! Is it proactivity for war??

  Following Steven Covey’s categorizations, we are “dependent” people… who claim we are “independent” while we should be “interdependent”!..

  How can we make the change? I am starting with myselff and my son by bringing him away from fear, 3asabieh, “el 7aram”, guilt feeling, hate, etc… and telling him his relation with God is his own personal experience that I have nothing to do with me or other people…
