My words go out to those who believed in a revolution that
merely started on the 25th of January 2011, even if our beliefs and
paths have departed after the ousted president left. To those who didn’t even support the initiative
my apologies if I talk a different language.
Cutting it
short we all agree on those 3 things hopefully:
1-عيش
2- حرية
3-عدالة اجتماعية
Now our methods are different and so are our paths obviously. Some of us
still see that the revolution got us nowhere and resistance still remains our
only option. Others see that we are exactly where we need to be politically but
protesters are slowing us down.
Tackling point #1 … I present to you civil services and NGOs that work
on daily basis concerned with only one thing actually feeding people all across
Egypt. They wouldn’t mind people helping out as volunteers or as PR or
fundraising. If not they wouldn’t turn down financial resources or more
exposure. If not you could cover as an
independent individual how some bakeries cheat people in prices and quality and
the way people actually DIE to get bread? There are a million things we could
do those are just on the top of my head
Point #2: it’s quite obvious the
entire Egyptian society won’t ever agree on this. Some people think we are
already there and we are a free democratic country. Others don’t even see it as
an issue that affects their day to day life. Others obviously think it’s a sham
and we are still not even at square one. To each his own and this is a feeling
that isn’t defined or measured to let it be…..
Point #3 : You need to first define what that actually means? Are you
someone who wants each and every Egyptian to have the same rights and treatment
or are we too comfortable in our own little bubble and comfort zones that it
doesn’t even matter anymore?? So it matters to you FIGURE SOMETHING OUT TO
DO!!!
So I guess what I’m trying to say is that we share this country and we
won’t always move in the same direction with the same force. People are
different, WE are different but at the end of the day unless a sociopath or a thief
we all have the same intentions a better society and a country. SO FIGURE
SOMETHING OUT!!!!
Go out there, help out, and report when things go wrong. I am assuming
you believe in the elections brought to you by the revolution you participated
in. GO out there nag to your deputies about your concerns. Nag to the government
services. Get your rights and nothing less. We have come this far and your
nagging and whining that people don’t want to join you or that it’s too much or
that your lonely in a square, too much of a square , a square doesn’t control
us. Just forget about that start taking action as an individual. Fight for
those who are less fortunate please!
Protesters should stop blaming people who don’t want to pitch in with
this struggle and people who don’t want to be there shouldn’t take the
protesters as an excuse. YES it’s all related and dependent but we will never
intersect. This is a fact we need to deal with and work with. Just figure
something out and remember that I guess one day we all had this glimpse of hope
we’ll turn out and be better, So reach for that and quit blaming others. If
they are an obstacle get past it and start building in a different direction.
From now on as an individual I’ll start doing what I see fit. I don’t
need everyone I know to support copy or even care about it. So please enough
with wasting our energies on proving points no one needs to know, and believe
it or not NO you won’t be seeing any converts to your point of view. It’ll get
you absolutely nowhere and is a total waste of energy.
So just STOP.
