Countries always confuse me.
Why is this ‘them’ and
‘us’ so important? Why is it so necessary to differentiate people from
each other? Maybe it is so important because we cannot hate them if
they are a part of us. They must be separated from us to rationalize our
hatred towards them. Differentiation fosters hatred. It makes us forget
that, despite our differences, we are all human. We are all part of the
same species: Homo sapiens.
My great grandfather pledged his
loyalty to the British Crown. My Grandfather came to know that he could
live in a country of Hindus if he crossed a river or he could live in a
country of Muslims if he didn't. My father found great sanctity in the
people who lay their lives for a secular state ruled by Bangalis-people
who speak Bangla. Today, teachers in my school teach me the difference
between Bangali and Bangladeshi. All the people who speak Bangla are
Bangali but only the ones who live in Bangladesh are Bangladeshi. All
Bangladeshis are Bangali but all Bangalis are not Bangladeshi.
And as Homo sapiens, it is the
responsibility of each of us to somehow contribute to the voyage of
mankind towards the omega point, the highest peak of knowledge. I
believe that I can participate in this venture through my plans of
uniting the world into a single system of governance. I think that
achievement of omega point will be jeopardized if people from different
parts of the world get different treatment and different opportunities. A
society of complete equality cannot be established through a system of
complete inequality. The process of differentiation of countries from
countries incubates the sense of alienation and enmity that has led to
useless massacres of human life and dignity so many times in history.
Through my study in international relationship at your
university, I wish to figure out a way to convince world leaders to
participate in my endeavor and tie the world together. I believe that I
would get the best environment, encouragement and enlightenment I need
to pursue my dream.
