Serving Nepal despite unhelpful parents

Guitar Daku,

If you want to understand my father, his personality comes very close to how BABAL Khate has written this story of Rajesh. Rajesh's personality and my father's is very similar:

I think there are many people on the top, in Nepal, including my father, who feel that people like them at the top are priviledged to exploit Nepal. I think it is a source of pride for many people at the top that they are in positions to exploit and self-serve. If anything, they feel sorry for the rest of Nepal that doesn't have this priviledge. They know that if other Nepalese had this priviledge of this kind of position that these Nepalese would take advantage of the situation like they are.

And as much as I don't agree with this kind of thinking....in all honesty, I think he's right. I think that most of the Nepalese that are bitching about those who eat ghoos are those that are not in position. It seems that most Nepalese who are in those types of position and can get away with it, do it.

So from this perspective I do understand why my father feels that my attempt to help and serve Nepal is very foolish. He feels I am naive and don't have a clue how Nepal really works. And maybe he's right to some extent.
