We, The Blind "Nefolis"


We say we love our country. We are very much proud about our independence, our sovereignty and our rich history, the oldest country in South Asia, the brave and ready-to-die-for-the-country people and other crap we say to blind ourselves. But I say we are not independent, we have no pride whatsoever and nationalism is almost non-existent now. Autonomous? We were ruled by Ranas. Oldest south Asian country? We were nothing but small little states fighting against each other till 1769, when someone thought enough is enough and unified all the states. Independent? We buy everything from other countries, and we're solely clinging on China and other developed countries for the kits to fight against this virus. Brave nationalists? We're not the only country with such bravery. This is heart-breaking but we have lost what was once the reason for our pride. We have lost. 

It sure used to be that way. We loved and died for our nation, men, women, children, elders all fought against greedy colonizers. The British were afraid of us, the Chinese sought us for trade and business advices, the Chinese imported our architects, Indians came here seeking jobs, foreigners envied our peaceful and beautiful nature, the smartest, most educated ones sought our Sherpa brothers and sisters to conquer mountains. We had such a lovable, kind-hearted King, and we couldn't even get him justice. Such a shame. We have lost it all. 

But I still believe Nepal will rise again. I believe in us, in you, in every Nepali youth that we will create the Nepal the world once used to fear and respect. I believe that we still can earn our pride, earn our independence, earn our sovereignty, earn the respect of those who sacrificed themselves for this beautiful nation. I believe.

PS: I'm not seeking to be a political leader, I just want to be an accountant.

"Consent", is not just something that happens to be a word. It's a word that should be taught and understood well in every society, specially here.  Doing something without someone's consent can be considered as an offence to that person. Consent is the root of many things that are in existence like partnering up in business or regulating an organisation of some sort like schools, corporations, government, or we can take personal things into prospect such as choosing careers, goals, interests, etc. In a sense, democracy is based on consent. In political philosophy, the phrase consent of the governed refers to the idea that a government's legitimacy and moral right to use state power is only justified and lawful when consented to by the people or society over which that political power is exercised. So you see, even the law wouldn't work if it is not consented by the people.  So in a way, doing something without someone's consent would be illegitimate for

How Fear And Anger Give Birth To Evils

How Fear And Anger Give Birth To Evils Fear can be a very misleading unpleasant emotion. It can lead people to take irrational decisions and harm themselves and others. People in fear are vulnerable, are easy to be controlled and manipulated. This exact thing is what figure-heads exploit. Let's go back to 1939, when Germany was dealing with the Versailles Treaty signed in 1919, a year later the end of World War I. The embarrassed German people were blamed for the cause of war and they had to bear the loss and compensate in entirety. They were already struggling from diseases, poverty and unstability. They were in fear for their economy, for their livelihood, for their identity in the world. They were angry, mad and frustrated. They wanted to vent their frustration. But at what? at whom? and how? Then came into power the greatest of evils, Adolf Hitler. Hitler blamed the Jews, blamed their presence, blamed them for conspiracies. The Germans, who already treated the Jews in their soc
