Such a heated debate... I just wanted to put in my two cents... Meteor, I am so sorry for you and for your family's loss. The monetary loss is nothing when compared to the emotional loss you and yours have suffered. I completely understand the loss you must have felt--losing a place of your memories kills a little part of the boy you were and the memories you hold dear. OK, God! I am amazed at you! At your ability to take the opportunities that were presented to you. I am so completely disheartened at the life you lead at the lives your family led, and may to some extent lead today. I am definitely an admirer! As for what you should do, I think you should use your experience, your education and your mind to help Nepal clear itself of the depravity (for lack of a better word) and filth that it has sunk into. I think the fundamental problem in Nepal is that people feel that they MUST either side with the piece of poop, fill my pockets only government, or the kill everyone so that they may see the injustices that I have faced Maoists. I see no reason for both camps. I think that the best way to help Nepal is a restructured system... One that starts in the hearts and minds of every Nepali person, abroad or at home. We MUST lose the caste system mentality!!!!!!!!!! It is not just "our kind" that are suffering, it is all of Nepal! It is every person that can remember what Nepal once was that is suffering. Everyone at some point has felt the effects of either the government or the Maoists, let us not hate anymore! Let us not say the condition exists because of the party I don't sympathize with. We created it! The society in which we exists created it! Our acceptance of our "caste" and place in society is what must go. Why am I not just the girl I am? Why must I be considered only because of my lineage? Let's meet in the middle as Nepalis, and start working towards a system that works!
