A Challenge for the Coming Week!

Here's a thought:

For the coming week, starting from when you read this post (not when it is published!), try to do the following:

1 - Do not analyze everything that happens in Lebanon (or the Middle East) as a battle of the sects.

For example:

a - Sect X did this to spite Sect Y but little did they know that Sect Z would sneak in like the sly devils they usually are and win this round.

2 - Do not stamp individuals with sectarian stereotypes.

For example:

a - Oh, Omar is Sunni, so it is expected he thinks like that.

3 - When mentioning Lebanese "leaders", do not automatically append the sect they apparently represent to their name.

For example:

a - Michel Aoun, the Maronite leader.

4 - Repeat the following every morning when you wake up.

a - No to Sectarianism
b - No to Sectarianism
c - No to Sectarianism
d - etc.

And feel free to add other ideas to the comment section below.

  • About step 4, it's similar to what our national savior Saad Hariri suggested that every night and every morning we should say something like "hirryeh, wehdeh wataniyeh..." I cannot remember the slogan. Maybe I should have said it every night.
