Outperform the past, don’t wait for it to come back…

Often frustrated citizens in Lebanon watch emotional videos from the past and mourn leaders who left this world after they’ve served the cause they pursued, and died for it. These frustrated citizens then call on these leaders to “come back” and save the country. There need to be a spiritual and mental change in attitude in Lebanon’s society. First, these leaders, like all those who left us, aren’t coming back. Second if these past leaders can get a message to the frustrated citizens of today, they would ask them to move forward, to learn from the past, to venerate the men and women who sacrificed, but to outperform the departed in the struggle for freedom. Each generation wants the next to do better, not to call on the previous one to come back and finish the job. Those on the other side wants their people to outperform the past not to wait for it to come back…But frustration seems to be a sign of desperation…
