It’s hard to accept change and equally challenging to adopt. Can we imagine how place or the country treats you when you move or shift? Hard to express as how difficult is it to make a new place our home.
We have read and heard about stories that tell about how people fought for their place or every existence. It because we would never exactly feel, how difficult and different is it to be home sick in your own country. Everything you see or people you meet make you realize how strange these people of your own race are. They seem like a whole new. And slowly we develop a feel of hatred looking at the way they treat us. It’s tough and very difficult to get acceptance in the land.
While on the other hand, we see territory which you now term as my country. Which gave everything and anything? It’s just a blissful feeling being called its Citizen. The education, the work, encouragements and the warmest rewards are all that make us realize that we are no different than other people here. Thus we also have greatest regards to the land. And vow our life.
Connection is always necessary to build up any relationship thus we try to associate. However it just can’t be reality because not all are the same. But the behavior of few createsa mess for the whole community. Now the fact is just because of someone behavior we start, hating the entire community. We know this should be wrong. But imagine if we are the one migrating and this series happen,while most people migrate to other country for earning or living. And those who create mess for other have been lived one such life. Still there thoughts and mindset for helping other is such worst. Amidst all there are few true gems who try every means possible to let you know that they are there for you and the love you however good fade soon, while hate spread wide. Finally the opinion that emerges is the country and not it’s people.
So here is the call for the fellow citizens, be good and do well to the visitors/stranger. Since you don’t represent your behavior, but you are risking the FAME of the country for one stupid act of yours.
