As I sat there watching this man speak, I felt uneasiness arise. Tension made my muslces twitch and I was shaking not only because of the cold but I felt like I was going to burst out. I was on the brink of jumping out of my seat to tell the whole world how twisted he made us look. But alas! It took much energy to keep me settled down in my seat without breaking into fits of accusation.
Because, how could I? When every word he said is true? His words were real and backed by substantial evidence. By articles. By newspapers. By credible sources.
How embarrassed and upset I was just sitting there, feeling helpless to current situations. How angry I feel towards perceptions that have been imposed onto us. Although to a large extent most of the facts about us was true, but anyone can use true information and twist it to suit a particular context. True information. Without proper links. Or should I say, important links.
That braggart! How dare he sit on his high horse and point fingers at us. Does he seriously think that by being economically and politically more stable he is able to point at us and laugh? Just because your people are politcally apathetic doesn't give you the right to judge us for creating hoo-haa in our own country. Two or three out of the 100 students that were present today were bothered about current happenings. So what does that say about them? If your stability is achieved by ignorance, is it possible to brag about being stable?
So when I decided to speak... my mind was a mess. Fuzzy, unclear thoughts. I should have written it down. I should have. I should have. I should have.
