There is a bug in my head--the bug called patriotism. I don't know how it got there, but it has been there for half a century, and will remain in my head as long as I live, driving me on and on.
Sometimes I wish it were not there, and i could live a normal life, like other people, making money for myself and my family, and living comfortably. Often people think me crazy. I have sometimes even neglected my family duties because of that bug, which i deeply regret.
I have told my family members that i cannot change, I will do my duty to my country come what may. I have a mission in my life, and I have equipped myself perfectly for pursuing that mission by intense labour ( study, discussions, reflection, etc ) for half a century, and I am totally focused on it.
That mission is to help my country become prosperous and abolish poverty, unemployment, hunger and other social and economic evils. I know of course that this will not be achieved in my lifetime, but I will have contributed to that ultimate goal
If anyone helps and supports me in this mission I will of course be grateful. But even if no one does, I will carry on alone. What was that song ? "Jodi tor dak shune na keu ashe tobe ekla cholo re " ( If no one responds to your call, go on alone )
