I thought the following issue deserves a post, at least a post, eventhough I’m sure it requires an Encyclopedia or even better some action.

It’s about the Loaf of Bread, one of the few necessary thing for every person in this world.

We come to a situation in Lebanon where we started to pray for this Loaf, to cry for it, to beg for it.

It is a sad situation when the list of priorities of us Lebanese people (known for our high level lifestyle and standard), includes begging for this Loaf of Bread and manifest its price.

I’m written this post because this morning and while at work, I received a phone call from my wife, she was furious (and believe me for good reasons), as she was watching TV and they put a full report telling the story of people manifesting the prices and weight of that Bread (to understand better the issue, I’ve enclosed this link from Annahar).

My wife, and I agree, couldn’t believe that we’re now begging our own necessary and supposedly cheapest food, she was amazed about the fact that a full report was aired on TV for that issue.

And to make things worse, the report was followed later by another report from Japan about new GPS devices to be distributed for blind people to help them find their way through, with linkposts put in different points to connect with them.

Is there a difference? where are we going in Lebanon? what will be our fate? how can we interact with the developped countries in the future if we keep on moving backwards, eventhough we have Big Brains as Lebanese abroad? and the big question, why are we accepting this, why not demonstrating and opposing, why can’t we demonstrate unless there is an invitation from a politician and usually for less important issues? We should hold our politicians and officials responsible, not clapping our hands fro them everytime they organize a gathering to say their usual Bla Bla Bla…

In this regard, I remembered the “Bread Crisis” which occured in Egypt last year, and which still occuring to some extent now, so and while fearing the worse, I ask God please don’t turn Lebanese to Egyptians, we just can’t stand that.
