Book Description
The people of Lebanon will see a lot of change as the future becomes present. The country has overcome adversity in all phases, and it will continue to overcome. As the first 100 years ends, and the next 100 years await, the generations forthcoming will have a lot more pressure to sustain an environment that is fair and just. The people that have run this country will no longer be around. People will die, and they will be replaced by people who will take on the responsibility of leadership. Nobody lives forever. If Lebanon can maintain its peace, then the generations forthcoming will have a much easier time to lead. The memories of the 1975-1990 civil war will fade away and the people living in future generations will not have much connection to their forefathers that died on the battle ground. If you look at the world today, there is no living World War 1 veteran. They have all died and moved to heaven. The last living World War 1 veteran died in 2012. That means there is no living connection in the entire world left from that phase of time, in terms of people that were on the battleground. With no living connection left, the last link of World War 1 is now gone, and all that are left are memories and stories of how it was back then. The great-great grandchildren of those soldiers are living in present day, many of them never meeting their great-great grandfathers, the soldiers that survived the war. A soldier that was 18 years old when he went to war but survived, may have died in the 1950s or even the 1960s. His great-great grandchildren may not have been born until the 1980s or 1990s. This new generation doesn't know the horrifying life of the past, of World War 1 and how that war decimated Europe at that time.In the present, people travel the world and interact with one another. Descendants from countries of the Allied Powers interact with the descendants from countries of the Central Powers. Americans and Canadians interact with Germans and Bulgarians. The world has changed, the hate of that time is now gone. The fighting happened, and then the world moved on. Lebanon is at a stage where it needs to move forward. After all that has happened, the civil war, the war of 2006, the economic meltdown, the 2020 explosion that shocked the world. Lebanon has future generations that need to move on, put the hate and disorganization in the past, and make the country the best it can be. The Lebanon of the future will be unlike the Lebanon of the past. At some point before the year 2030, Lebanon will have a leader that will take the country to new heights and into prominence it has not seen in its history. At one-point heaven on earth, and at one-point hell on earth. The leader that comes forward and does right by the people, he will be loved and respected. His legacy will live on the next 100 years as the man who made change happen. This is now the time for that leader to emerge. Lebanon has had countless leaders assassinated or pushed out of office due to public pressure amid corruption. The people need a man they can trust. The people need a man that will be their voice on a united front. By the year 2100, there will be no living soldiers from the civil war of 1975-1990. There will only be stories in history books and schools teaching the students of how things were. The further we get away from that war, the more society in Lebanon will be able to move forward and the hate will dissipate. But people don't want to wait until the end of this century to realize what Lebanon can be. They don't want to wait for change. Life is too short; they want that change now! That change is forthcoming. In other countries, although politicians are known for getting away with alleged corruption to some degree, eventually the truth comes to bare. But with the Lebanon of the past, the finger pointing doesn't stop. The strongest and most resilient humans on earth, the Lebanese.
