‘We are all sons of the soil’
we have filled the world with our boastful attitudes about origin and the world flooded our heads with hits.
one of the teachers at the kuwait university who hoped to correct many wrongs posted the following tweet: “we hold on to our originality, boast about our glories and care for this country as we do with our children. the creatures are descendants of fish (came on boats) and arrived in this country unexpectedly.”
we will not talk about the weakness of the words of an academic who has taken upon himself the task to defend the quality of education, this is up to him but it is absurd to boast of some things about sex, origin, race, purity of blood and glories all of which have no role and nothing to do with the people themselves when it comes to realizing any achievement that can be bragged about especially related to the core of their work or their role as citizens or human beings.
the tweet reminded me of what was said in hitler’s book mein kampf (my struggle) in which he placed the aryan race, led by the germans and the persians (the people came aboard the boats) on the top of the world’s races and called for a world war in which more than 60 million people lost their lives to prove the nonsense of what he claimed. there is no race better than theirs.
swapan mallick, a harvard genetics specialist and author of a paper that reveals the latest findings on the dna story of humanity says: “we never use the term race at all, we are all part of the tapestry of humanity, and it’s interesting to see how we got to this point. this does not mean denying the difference of people in many things, such as skin color, hair nature, short or tall, all of which are determined by the power of sunlight, climate of regions where the ancestors of the person lived.
any person can find out his origin through saliva tests and others. boasting of race and originality is no more than rubbish not worthy of controversy. prisons and court reports in any country show that the purity of origin or race, as some claim, did not protect some from being liars, fraudsters and thieves.
i do not know if any country has benefited from the purity of race. were they more productive than others, for example or more winners of medals at sports events compared to others, or have more patent registration for inventions, for example?
i would also be very happy if our racist teacher proved to us that boasting about glories has achieved something for kuwait, the homeland that others could not achieve.
and there is no single evidence that those who sacrificed their lives were mostly those who boast of the greatness of their race. i do not really know what the teacher meant by boasting of the greatness of his race?
is there a difference between origins – big or small – and how to measure the origin? is it possible to know the greatness of a person’s origin from his biography or from the length of his cloak, or from the product of his work or from the services he offered to his homeland?
i wonder why we boast about greatness of origin or has something happened that we do not know, so that our friend posted this repugnant tweet?
finally, we are all sons of one country and we are only distinguished by what each of us provides for this country in terms of services and sacrifices, and so on and no more.
