All that we leave behind

I find it truly pointless when wherever you go in the States (or elsewhere maybe), there are always Nepalese fighting. Whether it be "malai kina heris moozzee" type of ridiculous stereotyped cock fight or your day to day neighborly squarrells, OR whether it be an online flameware (like the ones in Sajha about Buddha, Indians, Cute Chicks, SajhaKoHero :P), its still on, 24/7.

My father ALWAYS told me "ris bhanya kura, jahile paitala muni rakh hai babu". And now I realize why he said so; anger makes you feel righteous, even if you're in the wrong. Anger seduces your logic/thought processes to make you feel that whatever you're doing is absolute. No further judgement is required when you're angry. Its a do, or die, situation.

Which is why its dangerous. And the emotion of anger, we Nepalese, have been overly blessed with. Courage and loyalty is in our blood. Now if we could just attune ourselves to the right cause and use our sacrifices towards that which will benefit all.

But the biggest pitfall of our complexity is our skepticism. "Eh tyo phalana ko chora le ke nai garla ni?" "Taile plane udaunchas? na hasa na yaar.." "Yo mula govt. ma jo ayo ni kei hune wala chaina, sab ustai huun" " bahula kukur le katya cha ki k ho malai?" "Yo ta dhoti geet po ho!" .. and so on.

This is the exact reason why our country is not going ahead. When someone tries to do something, he/she sees no support, and might keep trying for a couple more years/months, after which getting tired and leaving for good.

And the solution, my friends, is not as difficult as one might ascertain. It is within grasp. You need to change your outlook a liiiitle bit, take the world as it is and accept it. Look at all other successful countries in the world, they might have their pride, but they also acknowledge that they are not the only ones in the world. Whereas we, LOL, we think we can beat up any damn country there is. We have the competetive spirit, but right now no competetion except certain doom.
 
Anyhow I don't want to blabble too much about all this :P Thanks for your comments and time. I hope to see a lot less fighting and a lot more friendliness here in Sajha. After all, charity begins at home :)

@kanchi, @sukulgunda, @amplified, @perfectionist:  Thanks a lot.

@8848m: Lol. Maybe I should try a few hands eh?

@The_Fixxer: Fixxy! " let us for once focus on what we can do instead of dwelling on what we've done wrong! Learning
from mistakes is important, but I think we've done enough of that
already. It is time for us to change the country by thinking forward!"
I don't need to say anything further.

@shaq: That was the right song, at the right time and place. Kudos my friend!

@meera: Bhokate ameelo, out in the sun, with a bunch of family and friends. :(
