I was born in Libya to a family of European and Middle Eastern backgrounds. I spent my childhood in Libya. My formative years were spent in England. I then returned to Libya. After that, I lived in Canada. Now, I reside in the United States. I speak various languages fluently. My ideas cannot be easily anchored to one country or to one culture. My entire history, thinking, and character overflow with cosmopolitanism. Throughout my life, I have been a keen observer of people’s mentalities, inclinations, and cultural influences. I have seen traits that human beings have in common, but I have also detected huge differences: One of those, subject of this article, constitutes a massive gap between my way of thinking and American culture.
