"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

LF decision to participate in govt 'wise': Joumblatt- Daily Star

BEIRUT: Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Joumblatt Tuesday welcomed the Lebanese Forces’ decision to participate in the forthcoming government, in a tweet from his official account.
Joumblatt wrote that the LF’s decision was a “right and wise decision that serves the public interest,” a day after LF leader Samir Geagea announced that the LF had accepted Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri’s offer to participate in the government.
The announcement came after the LF’s parliamentary Strong Republic bloc held an emergency meeting earlier Monday to take a final stance on the issue.
The offer would give the LF four posts: the deputy prime minister’s position and the Social Affairs, Culture and Labor ministries. However, the offer fell short of the LF’s persistent demand for the Justice Ministry or a sovereign portfolio.
