The death of the artist, Georges Al-Rassi, and his coordinator, Mrs. Zeina Al-Mara’bi, was not an ordinary event. It was almost the “event” that preoccupied the Lebanese with grief and oppression over two young men in their prime, who were killed by the neglect of the state. But the “event”, with its sadness and heartache, revealed sick souls who expressed themselves on social media.
If the country lost an artist loved by many, and a woman, many did not know anything regarding her, but only because she was a woman, the issue of her death turned into spreading rumors and incitement. The pages were filled with questions regarding it and prejudices sent down.
So Zina left, leaving behind three children who did not know yet that their mother may have passed away, but what is remarkable is her departure and the emergence of analysts, thinkers and those who believe that they are mandated by God to condemn and judge people.
So, analyzes began to pour out, regarding the nature of the relationship between Al-Rassi and Al-Mara’bi, knowing that she was his coordinator, and this was known to everyone from the first moments of the incident.
They did not allow the lady to rest her soul in peace. They are the owners of petrified minds and sleepy consciences.. they started stoning the lady with the worst and dirtiest expressions.
“What do you want to work with him at night?” “Married or divorced?” “Surely we will return quickly to the sand. We don’t know that she was with him.” social. A sample that can be transmitted, of course. There is much worse than these questions. There are some “sick” comments, and there are things that cannot be read without realizing the extent of the “dementia” in the thoughts of some.
Each of the commentators started flogging the woman in his own way, but he did not know that every person sees the other person with his own eyes.
Things did not stop here, but reached the point of launching a campaign once morest members of her family, even a campaign of prohibition and calls to prevent her funeral. And why? Just because she was in a car driven by a man!
Usually, we may have adapted to speeches of hate and bullying at all levels in this space called social communication, but if the matter reaches this limit of speeches that touch on death and prohibit it from judging and excommunicating it and consulting “by entering heaven or hell”, here we may have hit the bottom! Indeed, we are in the twenty-first century, but in reality, unfortunately, we claim openness, but we swing backwards.
The real problem is not in these behavioral diseases that explode on social networking sites for some. The problem lies in its effects on the lives of some… and their death, and on their biography, which is summarized in absurd provisions. The problem is that rumors live in the heads of some, and are transmitted to others, and that they surround the person concerned, his life, his family and his surroundings in his death.
To what extent do some go to extremes in harassing the lives of those who fell into negligence because our honorable state has never passed by the side of traffic safety? To what extent can some set themselves divinely charged with judging people?
Zina Al-Mara’bi is a woman who worked with sweat on her forehead and died on her way back from work. Stop your tongues regarding her and think twice before you make a comment from behind the screen as you lie on your couch, “No job, no currency” and talk regarding the lady’s honor and identity and launch analyzes. I miss your comments.
