Hi, to begin with I will talk about the past, by which I mean the past that I have experienced, not that one that you may have experienced. I have experienced no end of life, as I have been alive for about 81 years, so I have experienced war, several of them, and peace, many more of them, happily. I have lived in about 10 different countries, and have enjoyed life incredibly, so far!
One thing I have learnt in all of this living, there is no such thing as “my country, right or wrong”. All countries are the same, and all people all over the world are the same, occupied with raising their kids, and possibly doing their work…. So all such things as Flags, and Nationalities are a waste of space.
I have lived, so far, in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia (twice), and England, so I reckon that I speak from experience.
All I want to say, is that I firmly believe that all life is the same, and such things as nationalities are absurd, and National Anthems are totally idiotic – apart from ones that are good, musically. Most are pompous and silly songs praising a land, which is identical to another land. And a waste of space. I have two flags at home, one the Angolan Flag, and the other is the Chinese one… Not because I love those two countries but because I enjoyed living there, and had fun living in those two countries…. I also enjoyed my time in Holland, France, England, Australia, Singapore and all the other countries I have lived in – basically I have enjoyed my life and whichever country I was living in at the time. All of them!
Anyhow, that is my view of the world, accept it or not, who cares………….
