into the vacuum

Storming eminent Lebanese figures with insults and accusations rendered the demonstrators look like those who watch the free wrestling games, where they chant in support of one contester against the other wrestler.
Everything was set and ready, the spectators (the uncounted public due to the uncounted distributed “tickets”), the ring (the blue platform that almost collapsed due to the weight of those willing to climb aboard), the wrestlers who all belonged to one team. On the other hand, the competing wrestler, opponent or enemy was the wind.

Yes, the wrestlers of March-14 wrestled into the vacuum that matched the emptiness of most statements. Therefore, their words derailed from the track to strike fruitlessly and without influencing the facts. On the other hand, the “opponent wrestler” was not prepared to play this distasteful game. Instead, he sought a way to remedy the wounds that would be left behind by this donkish battle, the involvers of which rode the back of their horsy statements and launched into a scant “sea of people”. Pointlessly, they were trying to reach nowhere.

There is a great difference between he who raises his voice to lead the people to destruction and he who grants “pardon” to others, although he realizes the psychological illnesses from which they suffer.
