Do people make the country? Or, does the country make the people?
I - a very proud Egyptian - have seen a lot of the country and enough of the people and here are my thoughts:
If the people do not have manners; the country is rude. If the people spit in the street; the country is disgusting. If the people do not shower; the country stinks. If the people touch their privates in the street; the country is perverted. If the people throw garbage in the street; the country is dirty. If the people do not brush their teeth; the country is full of yellow/brown smiles. If the people have a loud pitch; the country sounds like a hen den. If the people are frustrated; the country is reputed for harassment. If the people do not stop at red lights; the country is always congested. If the people do not drive safely; the country has a high accident rate. If the people do not fix their cars; the country is hazed out with pollution. If the people do not put road-signs; the country is a maze. If the people do not know how to drive; the country has the worst roads. If the people abhor rules; the country is in chaos. If the people do not respect schooling; the country is illiterate. If the people do not like to read; the country is ignorant. If the people insist on talking bad English; the country stutters. If the people do not keep their promise; the country is never taken seriously. If the people lie; the country is known for liars. If the people cheat; the country is known for fraud. If the people are dishonest; the country has no answers. If the people are not tolerant; the country is intolerable. If the people do not practice what they preach; the country is double-faced. If the people envy one another; the country is sick with jaundice. If the people step on one another’s toes; the country is full of swollen toes. If the people stab each other in the back; the country is sore with deadly wounds. If the people are lazy; the country is stagnant. If the people are artificial; the country is a disgrace. If the people are stoned; the country is numb. If the people are confused; the country loses direction. If the people do not know the truth; the country is misled. If the people are poor; the country is naked. If the people have no dreams; the country is dead. If the people do not have a present; the country will not have a future. If the people do not think of the future; the country will live in the past. If the people do not change themselves; the country will not change them. If I could get rid of such people; I might save the country. I just hate the people; but I am in love with the country.
