Lebanon is a country with many contradictions; and yet, it has a special place in the heart of the many admirers. The famous Lebanese-American poet Khalil Gibran conveyed this contradiction in his poetic works. He unambiguously declared that the way you view Lebanon is a matter of perspective; you choose what to see. His words still hold true today, without a doubt. Lebanon is a country that has an exceptional beauty of nature and the unmatchable hospitality of its people. But this is just one side of the coin. The other side reveals a reality that has been haunting the country for the past 50 years, a reality that has been extremely difficult to escape, involving wars, crises, and instability.
