Quote: Nationalism is no law of nature. It is just a mind construction, a human device and a way of looking at the world. Nationalism in its extreme consequence leads to glorifying your own people. And then ultimately you consider other people as inferior.
I think this part was nicely written.
The writer has a point. |

The guy sounds quite sincere, his brother seems to have served in the UN Swedish contingent on the island in the 70's. I like this bit: "From here the men still watches the world, sitting with enviable calmness in the typical Cypriot way with a chair for each arm and leg."
I sit like that at uni :shock: |
