It has to be said that the increase of the coffee shops in Lebanon is quiet trespassing the limits of normality. This noticeable issue has far more fathoms than it really shows. Such a boost in both the number of the coffee shops and the rate of the attendants raises the odds of being on the first step of Sloth’s Ladder. We cannot claim our ignorance of this infectious topic. We aren’t blind, nor deaf, and surely nor mute.
Our tendency to cope with the current circumstances lacks vital contribution and, of course, is short of eagerness. The ‘citizen’ has adopted the notions that he is an incapable creature, life is not offering positive chances, jobs are vacant but opportunities of getting any is nearly impossible, moving to advancement needs moving your body that needs effort that needs exertion and there is nothing worth all that toil as the results as previously labeled as fruitless, and we ought not to forget the last notion of finance: a penny kept saves your penny-less days.
Yet, and regardless to this ideology, one aims not to endeavor any process for changing his fact. Unfortunately, instead of getting adapted to it, one tends to accept it as it is, and lives with it. The consequences are then pretty known: longer sleeping-hours, longer wasted-time, and longer-depressive cases! And in the midst of such a melancholic state, the pragmatic solution emerges out of a sudden: Go out, embrace life, meet people, and Mingle! Of course, which place to ‘get acquainted and connected to all of that’ is better than Coffee Shops?! There isn’t. So, people would go their, thinking they are doing something important, that they are contributing to the World’s Improvement and Progress, that with their outgoing-act, the World would be a better place.
Psychologically speaking, the attendance of the unemployed and the youngsters in the Coffee Shops signifies a quantum shift in their focus from the Potential World to the Idle World. Time has stopped in their watches and clocks. Future ceased to exist. And living is only another form of not dying!!

it's out of sloth yeah.. and that became a lebanese tradition..
i never imagine a lebanese who's not nagging about the political or economical situation in lebanon, or even praising life in lebanon.. although deep inside they know that no matter how the situation is, lebanon is the best and only place they'll ever belong to..
however, sitting in a coffee shop
and still i enjoy sitting in a coffee shop gossiping with close friends.. smoking.. or just sitting alone and reading..
I like it myself, but one has to pay attention not to transfer it from being a mere pleasurable act into a habitual addiction!!!
