My

belief says that the truth has to come whether I, you, or we liked it or not; whether we
were part of revealing

it or hiding it. Whether I saw it or pretended being blind about it;

eventually it will appear.

The significances of this belief or the motives behind it came from my
background. Before three years, this idea started to be an intrinsic factor in my principles
and beliefs that drew a new mapo trace, and path in my life.

It was like

a milestone or a

turning point to my perspectives. This idea changed my concerns and every single detail

life. I lived in a country, Libya,

whose political system was dictatorial.

hold this belief I would say, because I saw the power

of the truth; I saw its strength and
influences' In other words, Although the government
was a way much stronger than the
protesters, but they won. Because they were
holding the right with them; they were the

right side' Literally, whoever have the right and hold

this belief represents the guarantee in my life that
works like a monitor or a guard in
adjusting my behavers and guides me toward the right path.
According to" The book

an action and meaningful

film, we can see

along the events there that Eli was obsessive about

sending his mysterious book to the
west of America, because he knew that the truth
would be there, and believed that if this
book was the solution or the truth that the people
needed in that time then it had to appear
and reach to every individual person even
