I want wasta.

I am plagued with a father who does not like wasta nor is he willing to pull any strings whatsoever for whoever’s sake. I do not know what radiation he was subjected to to turn into this mutant. I cannot move on with life unless I have this crucial wasta (connections), and I am tired, so tired, of doing things the right way. You never get anywhere in this country when you do things the right way.

I am sick of anti-wasta rhetoric, including mine. Anti-wasta campaigns will never work in Jordan because we are born with a wasta gene called family name. I do not care if nobody believes me, but that is what I think. Our society is so full of wasta crap that we cannot wake up and smell the shit. At least not before a long, long time has passed and we are all nuked and another generation in another time lives on this piece of land.

I cannot bear this helplessness that I feel any longer, therefore, I am putting myself up for adoption. I will only be adopted by the best wasta-holding person that applies. If you are a person with a wasta, please write your wasta value and benefits down here. I will review all entries and publish some in the coming few days.
