"If you wanna know what humans can do, don't put any constraints on their freedom of speech"
From the title, you might think that I'm trying to list the different events that happened in 2011, but this is a subject that you can find enough data about if you Google the word 2011, Revolution, Uprising or just type in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Greece, Yemen, Italy, Spain, UK Riots, Wall Street, Occupy.. etc...
In present time, Whenever you hear someone talking about 2011 you'll see a lot of common comments such as:
"Go to hell 2011" "Enough blood 2011" "Please no more surprises 2011" "I hate you 2011" etc... It's lots of people feedback about it and with all due respect that won't be the case in the next 5 to 10 years and I'm talking globally not on an Egyptian scale or a middle eastern one! History books would probably mention this year as the year when humanity was reborn and this is no Cliché.
If I'm to talk on a personal level since Tunisian Ben Ali's ousting on January the 14th 2011 I started to perceive things in a totally different manner, in which a human being is capable of producing any output and he's the one who's going to choose what input to put in so the entire equation is made and altered upon human's request. I'm a believer but I don't believe that God has put in any constraints in human creativity and that's an atheistic point of view that I totally support and agree with, I'd say metaphorically not literally.
Then when I went with my fellow Egyptians and non-Egyptians who live in Egypt on the streets on January 25th then witnessed the massacre on January 28th (Friday of Rage) and February the 2nd (Camel Battle) it became my one and only cause that I'd die fighting for. This is the case with an entire generation not a group of people with certain ideology as state media claims to.
Then you can figure out that this is not just a local cause it got spread all over the Arab countries which was known as (The Arab Spring) things then went contagious Greece Papandreou's resigned, Italy's Burlesconi's resigned, Spanish youth went into protests all the time, same thing even applies on the Israeli youth, The OWS (Occupy wall street) movement started in the cradle of capitalism the USA and it spread all over the world. if someone from another planet tried to take a look on earth he'd say is this planet is inside an oven or what?!
Lots of blood in the streets across the 5 continents which can tell you one thing: Those kids are gonna make it! There's a gap between generations that's a well known thing but the people who were born in the 80s had that gap between them and the prior generations way way beyond any familiar generations gap,so apparently there's no point of turning back.
This year gave hope, power, will and determination to humans to find their way back to humanity away from the rotten bourgeois and racism. This generation demands that money shouldn't be any longer the key. It's Freedom, then Freedom and Freedom. It's social justice so we no longer see a 10 million dollars party and on the other side of the world a child dying from starvation. this is the bubble we live in!
You may curse 2011 because of the death scenes you saw, the blood that was shed but you can never deny that this was the price for something greater, something that's worth dying for which is "Humanity".
My wish is that we reach these goals so all them martyrs in the sky can be happy and rest in peace knowing that we didn't let them down and we won't!
