Transcendence: Why I Had to Leave Nepal to Find My Humanity
Driven by the sting of childhood discrimination, I sought to "escape" Nepal at a young age. Over two decades of living and working across the globe transformed me, allowing me to find a sense of humanity that transcends borders. I finally broke free from the cultural constraints that tried to define my potential, discovering that I am a human being first and a nationality second.
About Palestine/Israel, Ukraine/Russia, Supporting/Opposing, Right/Wrong, Pain and Suffering, Empathy and Humanity, and Peace and Understanding
In times of major conflict between different States or between peoples of different nationalities or faith etc., people around the world are divided. But, those NOT involved in the conflict directly must remember what is right and wrong and to not lose one's humanity.

Nepal: Citizenship, Ultranationalists, Marital Status, And Our Inhumanity
To me, the worth of a Nation is in the way it treats the weakest and the most vulnerable within its borders.

That day, I shared, on Facebook, how who is in the White House doesn't make a real difference to the US and the world. I argued that regardless of who is in that House in Washington DC, because the systems in place are completely rigged and those who control, run, and enforce them are corrupt, a significant percentage of the American and world population will continue to suffer.
Here's a reproduction of that Facebook post and the interesting discussion I had underneath it with friends, interesting especially now since the election of Trump to the same office!
