So here is one other exploit so as to add to Lebanon’s lengthy record (from being “the Switzerland of the Center East” to having had a “Golden age” each fallacies and myths). We beat Afghanistan.
The USSR tried to, the US tried to. Each fled ultimately. However us, intrepid Lebanese, there’s nothing to daunt us. “Oh so that you need Afghanistan beat? Certain, we are the one to do it”… Now earlier than I’m going on in my veiled speak let me clarify what I’m talking of: On this planet’s happiness index we got here within the 136th place, whereas Afghanistan got here 137th. Sure, not a lot to write down dwelling about, however how else to speak about this dismal consequence.
136th place is earlier than the final within the area, you realize Yemen had it a lot worse than ours this yr. And manner, manner far the crown clinched by Finland – the happiest nation on the planet. Little shock we ended up on the 136th place what’s with all of the disaster we encounter every day in Lebanon. The one optimistic factor is that filmmaker Vivek Agnihorti from India recommended that Western nations would come on the backside (right here) “what number of days they ate with their household and if they will depend upon their household for a lifetime”.
Certain one can legitimately query sure elements of the report. Instance – within the query if one has given to a charity up to now month – is a notion very “West-centered”, in different nations it may be performed a lot in another way, a neighbor giving one thing to a different – a dish, a home-made syrup bottle, as a result of what is taken into account “neighborhood” may be very totally different as a notion.
This being mentioned, if Finland needs me to attempt to persuade them about community-building by way of home made syrup, you realize the place to succeed in me. In any case, I come from the proud nation that beat Afghanistan.
