We have an individual and a collective message in life

People always look for the purpose of life and a cause to live for. In general, people feel better when they can have an individual and a collective message in life. The individual is ruled by our head and the collective by the heart. The individual makes you want to develop your personal skills, aspiring to study and become successful, make money and live well, get married and have family and so on.
The collective message derives from the heart and it makes any person serve a higher cause ruled by intuition for what is best for the person’s people and mother/home land.
In the Lebanese case, the Christians acted after their feeling every time danger came knocking on the door of the Cedar land. In 1969 when the Palestinians in Lebanon started to act outside the Lebanese authority, the Christian parties raised the issue and warned for what would happen if the state didn’t stop the many trespassing’s. In 1975 when the republic was threatened by the Arab/Islamic Lebanese and the Palestinians to forcibly take over the country giving a part to the Palestinians and Arabize the rest, the Lebanese Christians were once again ready to act spontaneous by stopping these plans that would have made Lebanon just another Arabic republic with no unique position and identity.
The best Christian acts were always made with no planning in advance, just trusting their guts and go for it. In 1990 they had to use that guts again when the Christian leadership were knocked down by the Syrian Arab army taking over and occupying the last remaining parts of the state. The youth and what was left of the political and armed parties got together to fight peacefully for the liberation of the cedar land. That resistance reached its top in 2005 when people gathered in the martyr/freedom square in downtown Beirut demanding the withdrawal of all foreign armies and militias while their leadership were either in exile or in prison. The result was the throwing out of the Syrian Arab army from Lebanon.
Today, the Christian community in Lebanon cannot wait for leaders to tell them what to think and how to act. The Christians in Lebanon should once again start to think freely and trust their intuition to protect and build a Lebanon that suits them and their aspirations.
