When I asked about the date of the elections, they told me in JUNE! If the elections pressure is already THAT strong mid april, I wonder what will happen the week before the elections–if we survive till then! All the billboards and unipoles are covered with elections, people talk about elections all the time, radio, TV, internet, everywhere! Its starting to get quite annoying… Please people just take the elections easy, and let’s not make a big fuss about them alright?
I’m sure all of you who have driven by the Lebanese Highway have noticed the latest political campaign. Well I guess these campaigns have really been targeting – EVERYONE – lately, and by that I mean all levels of IQ, all ages. No brain challenging whatsoever, simple brainwashing-take-you-by-the hand and ‘feed-you-with-a spoon’ messages. I personally felt quite offended to see the exaggerated level of simplicity in the messages of the latest campaign. What do they take us for? If only they invested all those wasted billboards money in teaching the citizens more profitable values – but it’s probably our job to do that.
I can’t stand it anymore to go to public family places and see this “maid” phenomenon. This modern slavery should be abolished. Since when do kids need constant stranger nannying when their parents are perfectly healthy? Unfortunately, the mothers seem to be more interested in their own sex-appeal rather than taking care of their children, and the fathers seem to be more interested in making loads of cash to spend on showing off their fellow citizens. This aspect of our society saddens me very much.
I am just sick of having to go through this “exhibition of dead and squashed animals” every single morning on my way to work though the lebanese autostrade (highway). Couldn’t they just remove them or clean them ? or even better just stop squashing them! I, Maya Zankoul, call for a fairer division of the lanes on the highway.
It’s been almost a year and a half that I graduated, and had to face the cruelty of the workplace.
I create this blog today to use as a tranquilizer against the barbarity of daily life. A way to share the story of my life with the people around me.
