Cultural Segregation
With the upcoming “Beirut Rock Festival 2009”, certain schools ended up distributing papers addressed to parents that mainly request that their children do not attend such an event. Although this wouldn’t seem troubling if the school actually cared for the students, but this is more of a cultural attack on a certain culture, and especially on select people.
The Letter Addressed to the Student's parents
The Letter states that the event is “Dangerous”, and although they appreciate music and enjoy it, they claim that during the event, certain “Gothic” groups will attempt to spread it’s culture, referred to as “The culture of death”, and will spread and display dark thoughts. The letter also states that there will be a high risk of presence and distribution of drugs, and that there is a severely high probability that there will be practice of certain “satanic” rituals. Finally the note questions the event’s ban on cameras and filming affirming that this will only serves the purpose to have no witnesses. Therefore it advises parents to not let their children attend such an event to “protect and preserve” them.

I was wandering what is the importance of the Afterlife and how most people (and possibly most religions) keep thinking about it and I have to say it got some good buzz along the years. This post is not about whether or not this afterlife exists, its more about focusing on what we can control as human beings and the relevancy of such Afterlife. This article is yet another opinion.
