Nationalism!!!--->> Universalism!!!
Nationalism, love and united feeling for own country among countrymen, a sweet feeling right? no nothing sweet in it, it represent hatred competitive feeling towards other countries, brotherhood among a single land but dividing the whole world in small portion weak alone. how can this superiority another side of narcissism can be known as sweet or divine??
A country like my own, India, here its vary hard to create the feeling of nationalism cause with many different language groups, religious groups, geographically different parts of India always feels different. We can see this hatred among a single country between countrymen everyday in newspapers and TV, this breaks my heart everyday, is it really very hard to think that only religion is being 'human'? or only geographical identity is that we all live in same planet The Blue Planet our Earth, is it so damn hard to talk in the language of love respect and tolerance??? May be it is hard.
When the whole world is struggling by the side effects of brutal nationalism cruel religious fights we Indians are fighting a different war among us, we are fighting for our languages our lands our cast creed clans so stupidly that even my keypad of this laptop is laughing on our tremendous stupidity. We are fighting to divide our country in lands for different groups of people while we should fight for unity of India, we only feel united when we have a cricket match against other countries, that's all then we start again.
Our feeling of nationalism which evolves around a single country is not quite ready yet how we are going to understand the feeling of universalism ? Our great poet Rabindra Nath Tagor believed in universalism but we just read his poems and listen his songs make remakes of his music that's all. Our main problem we start our language journey with me and ends in Mine.Its very stupid of me to write these stuff these words doesn't matter,in reality being realistic means just pretend to be rude cruel cutthroat nothing else, you can feel the brotherhood feeling but only to harm or kill or humiliate others that is it, nothing more.
Nationalism can create tension among two countries but the feeling of local identity is much more dangerous, when we Indians will stand tall and can say we all are Indians and we only think of India then it will be the first step for us towards Universalism, but we have to understand Nationalism first then have to just outgrow it. Because any feeling of superiority only can create killers nothing else.
There is bad & good nationalism. The good one is protecting your nation's culture, the bad one leads to racism, chauvinism, imperialism, hate. The good one is the love of your own nation's culture, your own country's geography, nature, people etc. I also think that there can be patriotism of planet Earth - the love of Earth's nature, geography, cultures etc. Different cultures can't be on war with each other, cultures only enrich each other. Only people of the bad nationalism makes false ideas that different cultures can't live in peace.
