Funkybuddha said - And I never understood why we have to be proud of Buddha or Everest in
the first place! Everest just happened to be here. It was a natural
outcome of tectonic shifts. Nepalese didn't lift it or carried it to
where it is now. About Buddha, even if he was born here, what we know
now as Buddhism and what attracts so many to him found its form in
India. Indians are wrong to claim that Buddha was born in India. Again,
I don't see anything to be proud of simply because Buddha was born in
Nepal. We neither were a Buddhist country ever nor we have shown a
single trait that reflects Buddhism in our behavior. Gurkhas! The
ultimate mercenaries of the 21st century (go check merriam webster
first before spewing venom)!! They neither fought the maoists when we
needed them nor are they loyal to our government. For your information,
they are loyal to the Queen of England, and we are supposed to be proud
of them as well! Really? Seriously I couldn't even fathom all the craze
over that actress whatever her name was. When the western region of
Nepal was/is engulfed in epidemic,
our prime minister was granting her audience and people were naming
hills after her. Nepalese need a psychiatric evaluation first for their
misplaced patriotic forms.
People should be proud of what
we did as people: any achievement for mankind or any epitome of hard
work. It befits the Japanese to be proud of their technology, Germans
of their engineering,
Americans of their capitalism etc. etc. To shout loud to be proud of
the inanimate is shameful and shameless has always been a Nepalese
tradition.
Now let's burn sajha for the things I said. Astu.
Well put friend. Totally agree with you. People who force other people to 'jabarjasti' be proud of something even then they dont agree with it are just rabblerousers. If you wanna be proud of something it is your free choice to do something with hard work and honesty then stand by it and say you're proud of it.
Why dont we, as earthlings be proud of the moon. Its the only one we got, and it looks pretty! Its the biggest,brightest thing in the night sky. Dont you say anyhting bad about the moon or theres gonna be bloodshed. Same difference huh? :D
Peace.
