its no use dwelling on ancient history but the fact remains that where we are today is a result of our ancestors taking a gamble. a gamble to leave their homes and find a better life overseas. we are who we are today because of that gamble that they pulled off.
(i sound like an NE teacher now)
in a way we are where we are because of what they have done. it would not be otherwise
(i sound brainwashed)
therefore we should treasure what we have inherited from them
(i am sounding more and more creepy)
meaning- if you cant even recognise ur own dialect, or will not respect your roots, then you are not worthy of ur family name. blood is thicker than water. yeah sure it may be crude, yeah it may sound uncultured but hell! i am proud to be what i am and i am loving it. i lament the fact that even in my generation, such cultures are getting diluted in the wake of literacy, affluence and exposure to other influences. i will never be as fluent as others in my mother tongue and my dialect, that i am sad to admit. if that is so what is that saying of our future generations? if even the chinese language is seen as a bane to many people, then where are we headed?
not to mention traditional practices. if i were to go on it would never end. the neverending tirade against popular religion
