Despite all this we must not loose confidence in our country, we are tomorrow's generation, Lebanon is ours and we should not give up on it that easily. Lebanon is a wonderful country, and some never realize this until they leave the country. It is very difficult to adapt to different cultures and one will always feel more or less a foreigner wherever one travels.
Apart from being difficult to live abroad, an element which encourages staying in Lebanon, I am optimistic for the future of Lebanon. The investments that countries from the East and West are putting in Lebanon are a good sign. These countries have their interests at stake, and I do not believe that they would risk investing a single dollar in Lebanon if they weren't expecting a bright future for the country. It's simple and straightforward. Anyway, I always like to be optimistic, optimism is what makes the world go round, it takes effort to look for positive points in all situations in life, but it pays. Pessimism is always the easiest way out. But it's also true that in the quest for optimism one should not fall in the trap of losing his/her sense of reality.
A message to all the young generation, the future of Lebanon lies in your hands, and if you see many flaws in the Lebanese system, you should not expect things to change without your efforts. Lebanon is not a hotel which is checked out from when the service is not up to expectations. This country is our responsibility and our one and only land.
I admire people who have sacrificed a better paying job in the Gulf in order to stay in their motherland, and I respect those who have set a plan to work abroad for a while before returning and settling in Lebanon. After all each person has his/her own reasons and situations.
However a Lebanese should never lose trust or hope in his/her country wherever he/she is on this planet, as this would be a sin...

May God bless Hadi's soul, may He also bless his friend and his mother for starting this organization.
Each time I see a billbard or unipole of kunhadi.org, I feel a pinch in my heart although I didn't know Hadi. As I think of him I also think of several friends of mine who were killed in car accidents... for a stupid reason. We don't realize what life is worth until it hits someone close may God forbid.
I used to drive very very fast when I was younger. I used to think I could control the car at all times & circumstances but I was wrong because it's only because of luck that I wasn't hurt... I now am much more careful while driving, I try to visualize the consequences if I have any urge to speed.
May God protect all here, especially young drivers who don't realize road dangers, especially in Lebanon.

We live in total confusion... Every few days a new bomb attack, new martyrs, Nahr el Bared, terrorists, army martyrs... blood everywhere... Are we the next Baghdad?
What next? When is this going to stop? After each incident we tell ourselves that there couldn't be any worse, and somehow they manage to do worse... Enough is enough is enough is enough!!!!
We don't want much, we just want to live a decent life, to be able to go to work and earn a FULL month's salary, to be able to go out at any time and not worry about whether we will return home or not, to know that the country we're living in will remain the place we will be living in in years to come...
Is this too much to ask?
But whatever happens in life, one must never lose hope. Faith in Lebanon must remain... Whoever loses hope is preparing for his own death...
At the end, the culture of life will win over the culture of death... for it is written in the cycle of humanity
