1870 – 2007

Written by W.M. Thomson, Protestant minister, in « The Land and the Book », published in London in 1870.

*LEBANON DURING 1870*

Lebanon has about 400,000 inhabitants, gathered into more than six hundred towns, villages and hamlets. The various religions and sects live together, and practice their conflicting superstitions in close proximity, but the people do not coalesce into one homogeneous community, nor do they regard each other with fraternal feelings.
The Sunnites excommunicates the Shiites both hate the Druse, and all three detest the Nusairiyeh. The Maronites have no particular love for anybody and, in turn, are disliked by all. The Greeks cannot endure the Greek Catholics – all despise the Jews. And the same remarks apply to the minor divisions of this land. There is no common bond of union.
Society has no continuous strata underlying it, which can be opened and worked for the general benefit of all, but an endless number of dislocated fragments, faults, and dikes, by which the masses are tilted up in hopeless confusion, and lie at every conceivable angle of antagonism to each other. The omnificent Spirit that brooded over primeval chaos can alone bring order out of such confusion, and reduce these conflicting elements into peace and concord.
No other country in the world, I presume, has such a multiplicity of antagonistic races; and herein lies the greatest obstacle to any general and permanent amelioration and improvement of their condition character, and prospects. They can never form one united people, never combine for any important religious or political purpose; and will therefore remain weak, incapable of self-government, and exposed to the invasions and oppressions of foreigners. Thus it has been, is now, and must long continue to be a people divided, meted out, and trodden down.

Reaction after “I LOVE LIFE” in Lebanon

From your valentine…

My hubby as every year gave me the ” I tell you I Love you every day, I don’t need a day to show you that I love you” crap. Valentine is a hallmark occasion that he does not believe in valentine. Personally, I thought after having the same argument last year, he would have changed his mind, if not changed his mind, just got it through his thick head that I DO CARE ABOUT VALENTNES, and he should care enough to do something this year. Why do I care so much? I don’t really know.. Maybe because as a little girl at school only special girls got a flower or a card or even a stuffed animal, and it became a self esteem issue to be noticed on valentine, that you are somebody’s valentine.. Maybe growing up in a house where my parents celebrated valentine each year.. i really have no clue. Since he is being thick headed; i did something instead. I reserved for dinner, and sent him roses.. At least I will end up with the roses once he brings them home.. Smart huh…
Valentine

Update:  my colleague just got flowers from her fiancé all the way in New York… I want.
