I totally agree with what you said and you give me a better understanding of
American Society. I think indeed I am a bit naive in idealizing American
Society. Most of my understanding about American society are from the book,
not actually interacting with people of all classes. I was just very touched
by their premise of Freedom and anti-racism in the book. At least Martin
Luther King is an idol for me. In Taiwan I feel too much racism, snobbish
thoughts perhaps that's the place where I really interact + emerge completely
with my peers. Some look down on mainlanders and Africans.
Maybe you are right, every culture has the idealistic part and realistic part,
what I am comparing is not basing on the same standard. I compared the
idealistic part of American values to the realistic nasty nature of common
humanity in Taiwan.
I have to say that I was angry and pissed off by someone that day, so I just
tried to relief my emotion by writing something immature. This is really not
to look down on Taiwanese people. I am very found of traditional Chinese
culture and poems. There are a lot of decent values and deep insights + wisdom
in our own culture. It is never inferior than American cultrue, instead, it has
more depth and width.
If I happen to hurt others feelings when I am angry and wrote immature things,
then I apologize. However, that is really not my true intention. When people
are hurt and angry, you know.....what they said might be biased. And it's a
temporary nuisance, not permanent if you really get to know that person.
