When leaving becomes a duty

I never imagined that I would write this article. Nor did I expect to reach the moment when I would say: a final farewell, Lebanon. Not because I no longer love this country, but because I loved it more than it could withstand failure, more than denial would allow, and more than a state that refuses to confront the causes of its own collapse can accept. Lebanon was never, to me, a conventional investment. It was a relationship, a commitment and a moral choice before it was ever an economic venture. I stayed when many others left.
