i think its part of our DNA becuz we either dont realise we do it or we are all hypocrites becuz whenever a lebanese sees trash thy complain but never admit to doing it themselves...
my father is like that, he complains about the trash next to his house but once he was in wadeh annoubine(probably one of the most beautiful places in leb) and he finished his sandwich and threw the paper on the ground with his bottle of water(hes a maronite kaman!).....
the beaches in Lebanon are a disgrace..thr are places like edde sands where u pay 20,000LL or 30,000LL to get in, and once ur in u cant actually reach the sand or sea becuz its so dirty....and we like to call ourselves civil (whatever tht means)..wer a bunch of 7ayawanat... u know i once threw a coke can on the floor in greek town and an old women(maybe 80) came and shouted at me thts how we need to be here, we have to start loving our country not just say we love it |
hehe, u deserved it lol
u know, i was born like everybody else with this free spirit of throwing stuff on the floor
but since i was 16, i have never threw anything out in the public on the floor
i keep it with me regardless how annoying and uncomfortable it is until i find a garbage can, and oh lord does it take a while to find a garbage can just like u find water in the desert..
but i do it, i just do it, cuz in my head i know that i am not an animal, i am a human being, i dont litter in my bed nor do i do it on the sidewalk.
and sure, i got countless friends who preach about 'look at that garbage here!' and litter themselves
but let me tell u, do i make their miserable lives a living hell if i catch them hypocrites littering in front of me.. hehe
i make them as uncomfortable as that 80 year old lady did to u and i make sure they remember it so as to not easily repeat it, at least not in front of me hehe
but now with the beach, it's even more of an insult, it's clearly destroying beauty and 'swimming in it'
