A nation cannot grow strong without a sense of belonging and
loyalty....
Why are our people only care abt their own pocket, don't they
realise WU GUO means WU JIA?
We cannot expect everyone be like YUE FEI or MULAN but at least
care about your family, neighbours and friends...don't chase them
away when they are down cause one day you may be down then who can
help you?
All migrate liao cause fellow sporeans are too self
centered
It simply does not make sense to
pledge allegiance to a country that will not protect
you.
How does it feel to be loyal to the
country when the leaders are corrupted themselves to begin with.
Loyalty is pledged to family, friends & colleagues. And not to
corrupted leaders. Pledging loyalty to countries is very
subjective. You cannot blame others for being self centered in this
aspect.
(1) In an old middle
east history, a young man named Jeremiah told his king to surrender
to his enemies so as to preserve the lives of his fellow-men rather
than to wage a losing war against the much stronger enemy who will
wipe out and destroy the people in the country.
(2) After an unpleasant
incident involving a junior employee, the executive in the company
refuses to alter a statement written by the junior employee even
though it will tarnish the company’s reputation. This is done as to
prevent the junior employee from becoming a sacrificial scapegoat.
And by doing so, the executive risks losing his job.
In the above 2 instances, we see
true loyalty.
Loyalty is pledged in order to
improve the people’s lives & to people who are true to you. And
not to glorify the leaders who lead the organization. If a foreign
country welcomes you and take you in as one of them and ensures a
fair treatment to you, then that country will be the one whom you
should pledge allegiance to. If a friend from an enemy country in
order to protect you sacrifices his dignity, assets and possibly
his life, don’t you think he is worth much more than a country who
stresses that you must be loyal to it all the time expecting you to
give and seldom return you?
