The kid of 15 yrs old got more knowledge than what we have. Yes, we nepalese do lack patriotism, even i do. as soon as i say that, i imagine people reading this and hitting the reply button to say yes i am patriotic, i think about my country and love my country. but thats not the real patriotism i believe. i even myself don't know what it is. i love nepal, never wanted to come to US in first place, but when i got here, i see a brighter future for my self and my family. Even though Korea was poor and Koreans wasn't rich, i don't believe they had guirellas fighting over and make it hard to reach the underdeveloped parts of their country. of course, there is Mobs and gangsters in all parts of the country, but getting shot in the head just because you told a woman that she should not suffer because of her husband, stand up for yourself and whatever.. I too, have a dream that, someday nepal will be rich and prosperous. But look at the distance Korea has come thru, from East West Germany, then berlin wall, and now...Nepal has a long way to go, if it survives, and does not get sold to India from own King or Prime ministers or ministers. People do want to go back to nepal, know very few, who has achieved high knowledge in this country, and want to go to nepal to teach people and help it develop in rural parts of our country. but only thing they fear is Maoists. No one wants to walk to their own death. They want to teach people new ideas, not die! So people should act when the time is right, i guess. Just like Tribhuwan did, to bring democracy in our country in 2007BS.
