Re: Loyalty
ecoshan, you make sense.
good to know, people have such thoughts.
it is true when Pakistan and Pakistanis are given the blanket statement of disloyalty, while we as expats are just that much party to this disloyalty, by not being there, is not right.
however, this is also true, maybe, by being in other countries, this is upon us, how we conduct our selves in countries here: i.e., not steal, lie, be dishonest at work, but show to everyone simply through our actions in our private and public lives, our civic participation, by abiding by civil and traffic laws, by being critical thinkers and fellow citizens to the native residents, by excelling in our careers and earning honest living, by raising children with a fair sense of balance between values of our origins and picked from the traditions here & by enabling ourselves to educate others about our virtues, because at the end of the day, all normal people would like a comfortable life while ensuring rights of all ofus, coexisting in the same local societal establishment, to not get violated by each other.
meanwhile, ove rtime, through our actions and reflections, we can share and influence thoughts and actions of others around us, be it family members or total strangers, and align their intentions to become considerate and fair as well.
