The country of the glass


"Look at these pictures ,I used to live at this country when I was at your age ,It is called the Country of the glass because as you see everything in this country was made of glass ".by these words my Grandfather started               his fantasy story as I consider it ,he was trying to convince me that he was truly living in a country where every thing were actually made of glass .WHAT A NONSENCE GRAND PA!!                                                      He continues "well I see you so amazed so what will you say if I have told you that every house in that country was like a glass boat but instead of the fish people were living and to avoid listening or knowing any news they put  a thick curtain ".                                                                   "My sweet grand pa it seems that you forgot that I'm now 15 years old not 5 there is a huge difference even If I was 5 ,I would not believe your stupid story".                     I think that I have made a mistake by my respond , my tough  words made his color turns to red and shouts at me uttering "you are such a trifle kid, I'm not a liar all my words are true  and all your generation is  despicable because we does not know what your grandparents have done when we were at your age ,we have fight our fear after living 30 years wearing masks to hide our real feelings and persuade ourselves before the tyranny governors that we are fine and that we are having happy life. we were forced to live in those glass houses to be isolated  from the outside life ,they prevent us even from helping each other or to rescue a victim my saying the right word ."                                                                      At that time  ,I felt guilty towards my grand father not because  I was convinced but I saw his real suffering in his eyes .                                                                                 "My sweet grand pa I'm sorry if I made u angry I did not mean it but my curious cannot stop to ask why you were living at glass why not houses made of concrete or rocks to be truly isolated as you said."                           "Good question my boy , living In a glass house is  more Humiliating,  they made you see everything but you cannot  talk or react because you are being watched all the time . but these did not continue for so long ,the time had came to get rid from our glass prison . On 25th of January 2011 all the people shout with all their force to  break this glass and earn back their freedom." "And did you succeed ?"  "yes, we have, even people who were still afraid we broke their glass by rocks and blocks from Tahrir  square "                                                                                                                                       "I confess that it's an interesting story even it was real or fake but I enjoyed it ,and I have a last question ,were not you forced again to rebuild the glass house and live in it.??  "yes, my smart boy after our screaming compact some futile parties tried to imprison us again but we were learned enough our lesson and the nation who taste freedom cannot be disadvantaged again from it anymore."
