Yes,
it may sound very ridiculous. One might wonder what´s the heck? If you can
afford to go, just go….yet there is no country treating you the same way that
your motherland where you belong does. No matter for how long you were living
in that country, no matter whether you obtained the citizenship of that
country, still you would not be recognized as a true citizen who has a real say
for the system or for that country. We all have our unique true identity only
in the country we were born irrespective of the status or the money we have.
People
migrate to another country for numerous reasons like better money, living
standards, peace, independence, etc… But I agree that some people escape from
their countries and cross borders just to safeguard their lives and families
and I am not referring to such pathetic incidents in this post. What I want to
highlight is that if migration means seeking better comforts, then it´s your
fault that you cannot make your life better in the country that you were born. Could
we sacrifice our belonging or true identity or self-pride for only
materialistic values which are temporal until a civil war or some ethnic
problem rises in that country? Could one survive in an alien community if the
whole community goes against them? Throughout the human history, it was all
about conquering new lands and overruling another nation for the betterment of
a supreme nation. Could this situation be changed by today? Humans are still
humans and the thought process is still the same.
One
should try to uplift their own living standards from his
own surroundings rather than migrating to unknown place or being slaves of
another nation. If you value your society, racist issues or ethnic conflicts
would no longer prevail.I guess people should do things to make their society
better where they truly belong, so they do not have to look for better status
from another community. I know this don´t sound very practical, but at least
one has to try to make a difference. We should learn to value ourselves and
respect individual´s pride and recognition in the community.
