“A relief?”

Oh, your poor parents. The holiday of a lifetime, etcetera, etcetera…

You will totally think it was cool in a few years, though, I guarantee, Allegra…

I don’t think it’s as simple as there being bad people, Allegra: life would be really easy if it were. You have some bad people. You also have normal people, even sometimes quite nice people, who are put in a situation where they do bad, even terrible things. Perhaps you came across this in Uganda, where you heard about Idi Amin? He was a bad person. But probably some of the people he employed to do terrible things were, well, not very bad people. Just, normal people, in a bad place in the world.

But then all the war and sadness is something that is DEFINETLY beyond my small world.
So mysteruious, too, and sad. So incredibly sad. There are just really bad people in the world.

Thanks for the recommendation, Lana. I may well go into town and pick one up! There was supposed to be trouble today here in Beirut but it seems fine so far, insha’allah!

Well, you may have to wait on that one. Lebanese politics and religion makes Egyptian politics and religion seem incredibly simple….

But, actually, I have a post coming up that will give you a little bit more. So…

I have never heard of it before, but it seems to me that the Lebanese history can be quite interesting to know more about…
