BOB MARLEY:  "My answer is :it's our Values. Our values is injected with false pride, lies ,selfishness and mispriorities. "

I believe in the saying "Charity begins at home".  While I am certainly FAR from being perfect, I do try to improve everyday and will do that for the rest of my life in an attempt to make my siblings and offsprings know and learn.  They have to KNOW and LEARN different values than what I was taught.  If I do not take that first step in improving myself, how could I EVER think of others.

False pride:   I am descended from such and such a caste/group/family etc hence you are nobody.
lies:  I am most disturbed by the fact that lies are most alarmingly accepted amongst us.  You all know of different situations as I could go on and on.
I could classify each of the "values" we Nepalese seem to have inherited but when you think of it...the one that takes the cake is our NEED to BELITTLE others to feel good about ourselves!  And this seems to be our NATIONAL PRIDE AND JOY - this need to BELITTLE....so much so I think it has become a SPORT.
And I think thats where the problem lies.
You all have seen it amongst family members, amongst friends, amongst anybody Nepalese.  And my question is WHY do we need to succumb to such lowly acts?  Don't we as a people have the ability to be happy for somebody, be proud of another person's achievement and just move on with our lives? 
Ani.... kuro rahyo patriotism ko...we are busy belittling Indians and Westerners with racial slurs and fail to see further than the tip of our noses!

mcmcx...In case you did not get my email...I enjoyed every bit of what you had written in another piece about our mixed feelings for Indians.....and "I hate mexicans..I love Latinas"...that bit me baaad. :)
