grgDai,

I agree with what you're saying about needing leadership. But I think that 'waiting for a leader' is more the Nepali problem than the solution. I think the solution is taking whatever good qualities we see in each other and encouraging it gradually.

There are leadership qualities in each of us. Instead of dragging each other down, us Nepalese need to first find the humility to bow down to each other (after all that is what Namaste really means, isn't it?) to whatever leadership qualities we see in other Nepalese. Whatever little leadership qualities we are seeing we need to blow on it and make that coal burn into a flame. And gradually, as we encourage these qualities in each other, a hot fire can grow from this flame.

Just in this thread, look at so many amazing and wonderful ideas are glowing. There is not one leader that I see in this thread and in this discussion. I see so many leaders bringing so many good qualities forward. Now if we just had a culture that encouraged more qualities like this, we would get somewhere solid. But the power of doing that is in all of our hands. That is why we are all leaders. We need to develop a culture that encourages every Nepali to be a leader. That is why Nepal is a great country. Because in our nation, ever Nepali has the potential to be a leader.
