IT IS A HAPPY AND EXUBERANT DAY FOR MANY, NOT FOR ME. I WISH IT WERE DIFFERENT. I VOTED FOR MORSI, I LITERALLY RAN AT THE LAST MOMENT TO PREVENT SHAFIK. I HYPOTHESIZED THAT A MAN WHO LEFT AMERICA AND A PROMISING CAREER AND CAME TO HIS VILLAGE HOMETOWN IS ONE WHOM ONE CAN ENTRUST NOT TO FALL FOR THE GLAMOR OF THE CHAIR AS WE CALL IT. HOW WRONG WAS I, AND HOW WRONG WAS MY HYPOTHESIS. BUT I FELT THAT I HAD A MIND AND WAS USING IT. TODAY I FEEL FLAT. ALL I CAN THINK OF ARE THOSE IN PRISON, ANGRY KIDS WHOSE YOUTH IGNITED THE REVOLUTION AND GAVE US WHAT WE HAVE. YOUTHS WHO FELT THAT THIS WAS WITHDRAWN. THEY GAVE LIVES, LIMBS AND EYESIGHT FOR THAT AND TO THEM THEY FELT THEY OWED IT TO THEIR BRETHEREN BEFORE THEM TO STICK TO WHAT THEY STRUGGLED FOR. MY HEART BLEEDS FOR THEM . I COULD NOT , WOULD NOT , BETRAY THEM. I HAVE ADMIRATION, AND RESPECT FOR THEIR STRIFE. BUT THE OLDER PART OF ME, I HAVE QUITE A SCHIZOPHRENIC VIEW OF THE AFFAIR KNOWS THAT IT IS SHEER POWER THAT CAN HAUL US OUT. IT RESTS WITH SISI. BUT MUCH AS I RESENTED HAMDEEN THE LAST TIME, I HAVE A GROWING RESPECT FOR HIM, FOR HIS STEADFASTNESS , COURAGE AND THE FIGHTING SPIRIT THAT MAKES HIM STAND AND FACE SUCH AN OVERPOWERING OPPOSITION. MAY THE BEST MAN WIN FOR THE SAKE OF OUR COUNTRY AND I AM WEARY AND TIRED OR HEARING THAT THOSE WHO ABSTAIN ARE NOT PATRIOTIC THOUGH I AGREE THAT EVERY VOTE COULD AND DOES COUNT. THAT IS WHY I WITHHOLD MINE. I CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME OVERLOOK THE KIDS IN PRISON FOR THE SAKE OF MY SAFETY. THE LEAST I COULD DO IS TO HOLD BACK. MAY GOD SAVE EGYPT AND MAY , HE WHO WINS, FREE THE ANGRY KIDS. A SPIRAL OF RAGE CANNOT BE ABORTED WITH FORCE BUT COERCION. MAY I SEE THE HAPPY DAY THAT THESE KIDS ARE RELEASED. MY HEART BLEEDS FOR THEM. THEREFORE , TO WITHHOLD SOMETIMES COULD BE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE AND NOT VICE VERSA. IT IS WHAT I COULD DO AND AM POWERLESS FOR ANYTHING MORE. GOD SAVE EGYPT, AND EVERYONE IN THIS COUNTRY AND MAY PEACE REIGN.
