"people I am going to Tahir Square" wrote Asma Mehfouz a 26 year old Egyptian girl on Facebook.This snowballed into the January 25th uprising against President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt.She said she was angry that everybody said they had to take action but nobody did so.She wrote that day on Facebook that she was going to demand the rights of her country.
What is it that sparks a fire in the hearts of people? Two such remarkable incidents come to my mind ;
One is the speech of Martin Luther King on 28th August 1963, 'I have a dream', the other is the revolution brought about by Joan of Arc in France.
These are masterstrokes of of destiny.Masterstrokes with a flourish if I may add.Epiphanies as it were....
Asma Mehfouz will no doubt go down in history as such a catalyst.She spoke up like the little boy in the story 'the emperor's new clothes'. Someone who could see what others could not and someone who had the courage to speak up without pretenses when the need arose. God Bless Her!
