Touche guys,
I just want to add that the best thing you can give to a fellow over the internet is your attention :)
Feels good when someone else "gets it". All that you have written and expressed.
definitely religion plays a big role in peoples action, and on top of that people follow religion so blindly while it has so many wonderful lessons to teach! :D Its like the entire book is right in front of your eyes and you're still wondering what the answer is.
But that's just my view of religion, bittertruth. I don't know if God exists or not, so not really sure how true the books written of yore are, but I do know that whats written in them will not make you a weaker man. So maybe we could just pick up some ideas from there and continue onto the next book. (Kinda join them all together and form a super massive religion... just kidding!).
So another thing I'd love to change is the apparent hostility between two Nepalis. The ironic part is we are tagged as one of the MOST HOSPITABLE people on the planet. To OUTSIDERS :D. you know what i mean? But towards a fellow Nepali its always a competetive eye, or a jealous eye, or many-a-times a black eye. Why?
I was walking down the road in Ocean City one summer (walking to work which was around 10 blocks) and I see this other Nepali dude walking in the opposite direction and we both know that we both are nepali...lol. So in a friendly manner, as he was passing by, I tried to acknowledge this dude, my countryman, who was working his balls off to support himself, with a nod of the head and a "Ke Cha bro?".
He looked at me as if I was crazy. Bro ani ankhale hepera chaldira! haha.
Anyways that was a long, long time ago. More recently I've seen Nepalis in Boston/NYC area more open-minded and aware of their situation here than before. We could sit down, have a beer and have a conversation of just about anything under the sun. People I met barely 10 minutes ago.
And contrastingly, there are still people who are willing to kill each other just because they were "looking there".
Any of you got stories to share? Lets hear it!
