With all the turmoil and suffering around us, we have always had strong hearts with hopeful spirits. The general consensus has been “Egypt will get better” “Give the Country time to rebuild” I believe that there has been a shift in this ideology, because honestly speaking there is a limit for everyone, and for every circumstance, and when that limit is reached, an ideology based on apathetic, indifferent attitudes is formed.
I can’t speak for all of Egypt, but I can speak for myself when I say I have grown cold to the idea of positive thinking. It is so tiring to always remain hopeful in terrible situations. Or when tragedy strikes, to think “That’s ok, we are taking steps to fix the issue” We are always acting in a response to something bad happening. We then proceed to tell ourselves that we should remain strong and to believe in our country, our parliament, our people.
You may think I am just being cynical, or bitter, but I have now become this way as a result of all the tragedy around me. All the negativity around me has finally broken my heart,
broken my spirit, and I literally am immune to caring. It sounds really insensitive, but I’m indifferent to anything bad that can happen to me. My limit has been reached, and there is nowhere for me to go, so I must remain silent. I can internally cry for wreckage that is now Egypt, I can sit and suffer in silence, but going forward, I’ve been faced with the misfortune of labeling my response as “no comment”
I don’t know how things will change. I am quite confident in saying that other people who were positive and hopeful are going through the same calamity. The changes that may occur in the future will not come from me, or any others who had hope, it has to come from the bad people realizing their bad ways and making an effort to change.
