An angry sentiment!

I realized that we no longer see straight. Mediocre people do not know anymore that they are mediocre. Now why is that?

And I am not speaking humanity, I am specifically speaking about Egyptians here, whether we like it or we will keep hiding in our cocoon of denial.

Let's assess our level of cultural sophistication...

• With cinema for instance: Get statistics of which films make the most money, you will know we are a mediocre nation. Limbi, 3okal, karkar, 3al2et moot!! This is what the box office calculations will put in consideration. Not why people went, but how many. (For non-Egyptians, the films mentioned are commercial in nature, with zero story, and zero acting skills).

• Music: Which concerts and singers are the most popular: Either extremely vulgar music such as Ba3roor, and Saad El Soghayar, or on a more "sophisticated level!" Ehab Tawfiq, Tamer Hosny, Amr Diab and the likes.
• I don't want to turn into cleanliness and hygiene, Cause I just went to the countryside to breathe some clean air and relax, and I came back with asthma, headache and further belief in the impossibility of change. This is what I saw on the way there:  
• Pollution (all the cars pump out tremendous amounts of a different kind of black smoke),
• Noise (even people's voices, let alone the endless car horns, weddings on the street from broad day light and until the evening is over, with gun shots and loud tasteless songs), 
• CLEANLINESS (I could write a book here- the water canal was almost not visible because of the trash thrown in it - plastic bags, paper, food remains, dead animals, tins, bottles, boxes, you name it- and then the visible parts included children bathing with their horses and donkeys and women washing everything in it- and then they wonder why they get hepatitis A, B, and C? There should be new types of hepatitis from D to Z just for them), etc... 
• I hated being there and not being able to change anything. I love this country, yet hate one zillion things in it that need decades, if not centuries, to change, as well as strict and firm rulers who actually give a flying fu**!

I work in the field of freedoms, so this is what I believe: People are free to read, eat, listen to, watch and do whatever they choose. But the thing is, sadly, what they do shapes our nation's success and level of civilization and cultural awareness. I can't control them, and even if I could, I wouldn't want to. If people don't feel the responsibility they bear of becoming better to push the whole country up with them (instead of the pig-hole we have turned into), then plain and simple screw them (and this is the politest way i can possibly say it).
