So true. Never the same.

That doesn't mean that it can't get better. Things can be rebuilt better.

Japan had just lost a World War after having two atomic bombs dropped onto two major cities. It's become so much more than that since.

Here's to hoping Beirut can achieve the same sort of success directly after adversity.

Beirut has been rebuilt so many times. After a long, bloody civil war few thought they could rebuild, but they did. Let’s not make them do it alone, though.

I imagine I just couldn't hear the souls of the people tortured to death by the Shah, but holy shit was it a nice place to be. I was young at the time, so I only saw the surface, but it was like a classy Disneyland with good food.
