If you go to any magzine or any paper you will find same thing. People think something against of something. Therefore you have to think in this way of Mukesh song
"MERE BAAT KE MANE DO JO ACHHA LAGE USE APNA LO JO BURA LAGE USE JANE DO"
Nice to see you. Don't worry. Let me tell you one thing, if you realise how powerful your thoughts are, you would never surrender to negatives. See i am not going to surrender my thoughts to anyone here in sajha. I mean anyone. Creating this thread it suggests, you indeed need to be positive and stay atop of your thoughts and decision.
Negativity compell you to think towards positive. If you want to convince people with your thought then you have to pursue them with your firm and self explanatory view. Without negativity you can not learn more. Raju is correct, surrender means you dont have more amunation and trick to fight for your view. Negativity of others towards your view means people demanding more stuff.
No matter where we go we have the same brain we had in Nepal, just added education not wisdom.
I do not know how long ago we had cast system, so far my understanding, in VEDS not mentioned about untouchable. As the cast system took major part of our social system we started differentiating our self as supreme to others, initially it was cast and their wealth, Physical/Power (Shiva is taken as part of our god because he was as powerful as Brahma, Vishnu), later educated to non educated specially those who had knowledge of Sanskrit started making bigger differences in the cast system. Actually British followed "Divide and Rule" from Hinduism/ us.
This kind of discrimination is widely seen and felt in rural area but not apart in Katmandu city. I may be wrong but some how we always look other people down. Those who studied science and get engineer degree or doctor are superior because they are the backbone of Nepal, and those who study history and liberal arts are value less, we believed education gives knowledge and wisdom, new way of thinking, sense and act of behaving well. It did not. We love to scold and shout to poor a person, which is why we always shout on “ Marciya" especially in Katmandu valley (Example), similar ways in rural areas.
Nepalese students did not get and are not getting equal opportunity to get same level of education ( it is not possible in any part of the world) but the difference should not be that wide. Those who live in city got better education and those who had wealth got opportunity to go to privet school in Nepal or abroad, those who were in government job made money working out of ethics got a chance to sent to privet and better school, made them quiet different than other. Those who lived in rural area are always weaker, they just do not go to school but has much responsibility other than school. Their schooling is not a full time job rather a secondary job , why you compare with them being the best????? You did not know how to make a cup of tea until you were home, did you?
I have a question to them who are very proud of their education and going abroad (first division student are better students and go abroad), if they were in the same circumstance and situation of those rural students, were you be able to go to abroad or even go to Katmandu and get the same level of education?.
One Question I had always in my mind, some of the student who are proud of being in ABROAD and getting excellent education and excelling. Have you ever figure out how your parent made/ accumulate enormous amount of wealth in short period of time and if you see that was created out of ethics (corruption), have you ever regretted on your parents did?????????????? I do not think you do, because of it (corruption), they were able to achieve this level? Now corruption is widely spread and socially accepted, I should not be saying it is an issue, if it is part of society. I think it is an issue of those poor people who has to pay and did not get a chance to enjoy it.
My point is discrimination and demoralization is part of our
cultural. You went to abroad with the same brain; acquired knowledge but not wisdom
that is why.
politics has become such an easy career in nepal that even failing is rewarded. The one who fails doesn't have to face troublesome consequences albeit can keep moving pretending that they never failed. People will notice their failure, they will raise the questions but on streets, burn tires, dry their throats, destroy own national properties. And these kinds of protests these days in nepa is taken for granted, yet they prevail as if wit and wisdom of all nepalese has gone grazing grasses, they keep continuing the same street protest and disrupt normalacy. The concerned people do nothing about it, watch at tv during their dinner time at home and laugh. sleep a good nite sleep with this dream plan of new corruption sscheme for tomorrow. Who cares about Nepal. Let me make my famiuly first. In shapath gran though they are asked to recite all prayers and all but inside they will be reciting and rejoicing all corruption schemes.
we are in the most tough war against ourselves in nepal. We dont have civil war or something, we have cold war amongst ourselves. We need to bring out honesty in us.
syanjali Really a good point bringing religion to the center. It does shape who we are, our culture and most importantly our VALUES. Our values (as shaped by our beliefs-religion) is now corruption, lies and selfishness. There is no concept of anything good beside "Love and Respect your parents and family". Well apparently every other civilization has that too. Some might say-No that is NOT our religion. Well, it does not matter what it was supposed to be. It is the truth now. However I'd like to note though we have a very homogeneous society in term of VALUES. Mostly everybody is somehow related to Hinduism, that includes all form of Buddhism too. We grow up with so little choice at all. We're NOT allowed to follow our heart nor our brain, instead choose what you were born into, that is decided by your parents. Try saying you have converted to Christian, Jew or even Muslim, there will be an uproar and some serious beating by your family. I understand the desire to maintain power or some might say they are afraid to change or unsecured, but the most serious aspect of our nation is that they are not aware of what another religion has to offer them, on the contrary they are given the wrong information or even brain washed. I used to be in that category. Lack of education? Maybe. How can they choose between the two if there was always ONE.
"My point is discrimination and demoralization is part of our cultural. You went to abroad with the same brain not with wisdom, that is why." Very well said. I was raised to believe education is the "only answer", but now I have a different approach to that belief. It is not. It is only a path, if you're not going to use (walk)on it, it only benefits you. Make a difference in your life instead of pointing your finger at the others and blaming everybody. Everybody should do their part to build the society instead of waiting for a messiah to fix everything for you. You don't get those values taught to us, it does not exist in our manual. That's how we end up with destroying public property as our national sports.
and it begins - on Day 1 Trump will begin operations to deport millions of undocumented immigrants
