إعتصام الجامعة اللبنانية ينتهي بواحد لحزب الله وآخر لحركة أمل
كطالب في الجامعة اللبنانية، يهمني دائماً ان أرى جامعتي في أعلى المراتب العلمية في لبنان وحول العالم، ولكن هذا الأمر كما نعرف على الأرض الواقع قد يكون بعيداً عن ما نحلم به بسبب العديد من العوامل.
تجاه هذه المسألة، من المهم القيام بتحركات ضد السياسة الحالية المتبعة في الجامعة اللبنانية التي كطلاب في تلك الجامعة أعرف المآسي التي يمر بها الطلاب خلال السنة الدراسية بسبب العديد من الأمور أهمها قد يكون هو الفساد المتفشي داخل الجامعة.
منذ بضعة أسابيع، لفتني على موقع التواصل الإجتماعي “فايسبوك” نداء لطلاب الجامعة كي يتظاهروا أمام كلية الآداب والعلوم الإنسانية – الاونيسكو ضد استمرار التعطيل في الجامعة اللبنانية وإقراراً لمطالب الأساتذة الجامعيين. ولكن ما الذي حصل فعلاً؟
أعياد مجيدة ولكن
أعياد مجيدة ولكن
من الجيد أن نحتفل بعيد الميلاد جميعاً دون أن نفرق بين المسلم والمسيحي، لأننا كما نتعلم منذ المهد للحد، نكون نكرس بذلك ما يسمى بالعيش المشترك.
لم أضع أنا شجرة كرمز لعيد الميلاد ولكن وضعت شمعة تمثل الأمل بأن الغد سيكون أفضل من اليوم.
صحيح ان العالم بأجمعه يحتفل بعيد الميلاد ولكن يجدر الذكر أنه لا بد أن يكون هناك في مكان ما من العالم من هو بحاجة إلى أمل أو فرح صغير يتشبث فيه من أجل المثابرة على العيش إلى يوم أخر في ظل الأوضاع الرديئة والقاسية حواليه.
كما تتمنون لبعضكم البعض سنفونية الحياة الفرحة والسعادة الأبدية، تذكروا أولئك الناس من مختلف الأعمار والفئات والبلدان وتمنوا لهم على الأفل “الحياة”.،
