Instead of wailing and lamenting

Some civil society organizations also exploit the situation in our country to solicit funding and implement their suspicious agendas.

They do this without anyone attempting to contribute to addressing what we complain about, even if only through a genuine study of our national problems—economically, socially, and politically—with a national perspective and national thinking, and by attempting to find practical solutions to these problems after identifying them realistically and accurately, far from the impressions and exaggerations that have contributed to inflating the scale of many of our problems—not to say inventing them—to be exploited by others who seek to weaken Jordan by undermining the morale of Jordanians and their cohesion, as well as their trust in their state and its institutions.

We do not deny the existence of difficulties for Jordanians, especially on the economic level, but we believe that these difficulties are being exaggerated and marketed to weaken Jordan and tarnish its image and the image of its leadership, by employing economic hardships, for example, to paint a picture of Jordan as a country rife with corruption. This is an image that contributes to weakening the morale of Jordanians, a situation that must be countered through a Jordanian narrative that defines the nation's achievements in proportion to the challenges it faces, which will raise the morale of Jordanians, strengthen their national resolve, and replace the state of pessimism and frustration that dominates segments of Jordanians with a state of optimism and hope.

It is also necessary to make Jordanians aware of their roles in creating their crises, and subsequently their roles in solving them. Furthermore, one of the goals of the Jordanian narrative must be to respond to all the rumors and fallacies that distort facts about Jordan with a torrent of malicious rumors, in addition to warning Jordanians of the danger of the moral assassination of their national institutions and symbols. This is the Jordanian national narrative that we must work to adopt instead of continuing the wailing and lamenting, which focuses on the negatives and denies the achievements.
