Egypt and I

Life is so hard when there are many choices to make. Too many theories too and too many quotes. Is it all about love?, is it all about career?, or is it just a choice? I do not want to be part of the Egyptian-Algerian conflict I do not want to see Egyptians going to the embassy and destroying it. Egyptians have never been like this destruction is not the solution. What the Algerians did to Egyptians in Egypt and Sudan is unacceptable but Egyptians in the 50s were not used to solving issues that way.

Egyptians are taking that issue now as a national move, where were they when Palestinians were dying everyday I am really upset of the fragmentation of the Arabs due to football. I love my country very much, I feel so down when anyone talks bad about it. Egypt let me down a lot I take it as a best friend that I give many chances to and lets me down every time. For example my father was in the American hospital in France he was treated so good even though they did not know who he is. However, in Egypt with all the effort and the preparations they made they did not take care of moving him from the ambulance and he was about to fall off the wheel chair. That incident really ruined Egypt’s picture in my eyes. I gave Egypt another chance by winning these matches and I was very happy that we won the first match.



However, it let me down again by losing and I was cheering till the last minute and at the end I erased the flag I drew on my face with Pepsi. That was how angry I was. Back to the Algerian-Egyptian issue Egypt is not wrong in this issue however I wished that such a revolution would be for a better cause. Its amazing how all Egyptians united together why cant this be for something more meaningful.

I want to be proud of my country I want it to change I want to see progress. I want to miss my country when I leave it. I stopped getting the “missing” part. I think I will always give it chances after all it is my mother, my father, and my best friend that I cant let it go..

If the match is big issue then send a petition to the National Democratic Party to complain about the lack of health care, the housing crisis, corruption, the selling of the country's assets, the collapse of education, the pollution, traffic deaths, exploitation, poverty, unemployment, the lack of clean water, freedom of expression and religious beliefs, the oppression of women, the piling up of garbage on the streets, etc...
