The convulsion could have very well been a shiver of ecstasy.
Listen to this line In One of Fairuz songs to Barada.
هواك يا بردى كالسيف يسكنني It could mean the stench from the river had the effect of a sword on her lungs. That of brutality and pain. Or it could mean It was such a beautiful scent emanating from the clean water of the river, it evoked in her a feeling of security which only weapons provide. And the sword is such an instrument steeped in old myths and tradition. So it could very well be that the country is struggling to regain this joie de vivre it once had. And there are so many grumpy people around who just dont want to enjoy themselves. It's nice Beirut is trying to regain its party reputation. It's a first step to becoimg a happy city and a noisy one. Back in the old days People had great fun, they used to look forward to partying in the summer, the festivals especially Baalbeck. Of course they were all oblivious to the fact the country was brewing with troubles. They welcomed it as excitement added to summer fun. Be positive man even if you dont believe it. This way you control a position from both ends. Why risk being negative just to find yourself right one day? The victory will be hollow as all eventually are. So not bad to be wrong sometimes even if it gets you better results.
