Does citizens of a Country living outside the country, what ever be the reason, to earn a living , to earn an education, earn a better salary or even to earn a more challenging job have any right to write/talk about their own country back home?
Well, if its praises and accolades on the country, there is a barrage of rage and vexation thrown at the writer, with all sorts of questions,
- What do you know about our lives here ?
- You have no right to comment on any happenings as you don’t live here anymore.
- Our lives are not as commendable as you claim to be.
And well oh well, if it’s things to improve on, think about or even work on, the writer is again thrown with a series of gruesome, nasty comments.
- How dare you say we lack at this and that?
- We are a great country and people living here are truly patriotic unlike you who ran away to a more luxurious world.
- We are one and you most definitely are not one among us and hold no right what-so-ever to inspire changes or thinking among the mass.
Indeed, it’s clear that one becomes a foreigner in the minds of people the moment one steps out of the homeland. And yet when they are in the foreign land, every one around the person including the person himself/herself identify one-self as ambassadors/advocates of their home land.
Isn’t this truly tragic? They belong neither there not here….
Shouldn’t we hear them out ? Shouldn’t we give them a chance to debate or consider their thought process and ideas?
I think we should for its only when you are in a foreign land..
- Your heart genuinely beats for your homeland.
- You long for the cool breeze and aroma of your motherland.
- You with all your heart want development of your country without any personal gains.
- You would have the exposure and the know-how information on what can be done to make things better. You can compare and suggest schemes that would help to grow in the right direction.
- You think, dream, and pray for the well being of your loved ones every waking moment of your day.
- You know what patriotism is, in every sense of the word!
Not letting the person talk or rather, giving the person a sermon about Patriotism or the lack of it, does not make one a true patriot !
