Cambodia in My Dream!
What should I do to make Cambodia great again? This is the most important question that keeps me struggle to fullfil the answer until now.
Cambodia in my mind is the most beautiful world for my life. She is the land of all things- suffering, wonder, extreme, love, romance, compassion, struggle, power, art, architechure, and pride. She is the part of my life. She is what constitutes what I am today. She is the invaluable thing in the world that I can´t live without. I am proud to be what I am because of this motherland of Cambodia. And I never forgets her in every minute in my daily life except for the time I sleep, yet I still think of her in my dream. She appears to my feeling in the image of beauty, the image of cruelty, the image of smile, the image of poverty, the image of happiness, and the image of hope. She creates the dream for me because she is the one that creates what I am. And it is just a dream now!
However, I have my real dream for her, too. I have dreamt what she will be in the future. I think that she will become the motherland of happiness, the motherland of great wonder, the motherland of peace, the motherland of solidarity, the motherland of law, the motherland of hope, and the motherland for all to dream of, and be proud of. And at last she is GREAT again.
There is a will there is a way! I personaly think that the causes of making our beloved motherland falling to the suffering, weakness, loss of territorial integrity, and peace are the lack of solidarity and nationalism. The solidarity is the core foundation for any nation in the world. It is the most important ground to restrengthen our country. It is the root of strength and stability because it will bind us together to do things together as a nation but not as a group or a party. Whereas nationalsim (not exreme nationalism), it is the core of life for us as a citizen of a nation. Through it we know who we are, who we work for, and what we work for. It makes us know our identity. It teaches us how to sacrife for the nation and for the people in the very proud and successful ways. It make us proud to do something for our motherland. It will tell us to prioritize the national interest as priority.
Our motherland is abundant of natural resources, cultural resources and good people, so the goal of achieving this dream is positively reachable when our motherland is politically led by the new generation leader with competence and nationatist. Cambodia need a good leader! We need a good leader!
We must rise up agian! We must be powerful again! We must become the nation in the respected eyes of the all the nations in the world.
In Solidarity!
