American Story, American Ideal -2021 Ryan Baidya
America – The United State of America is not just an aggregation of states and union territories. America is a concept. America is hope. America is an ambassador to the human race. It is a place, an idea, and a representation of the true world domicile by the human race. All these together give America the highest responsibilities and duties. At the same time, America is under the most powerful microscope in the world – this microscope is made out of 6 billion pairs of optical lenses for human eyes and ears. It wouldn’t be wise to think, that something foolish and biased will be unnoticed or slip by. America – is one of the best nations so far, however not the absolute best. Being best among the worst is no good. To bring out the best of America – the ideology- has to be challenged over and over again– by all the people of the world. Time has arrived as it did 150 years ago – when President Lincoln issued a Proclamation of Emancipation. Concept America- is a representation of the human habitat of mother earth. America has variable pigmentations, vocabularies, and foods. And, underneath all pigmentation lies the color red – the color of the stripes on the spangle Banner. A pictorial representation of “Concept America” is –Project America – the “One Team America”. We are one. Depigmentation is merely a part of slow and reversible photo-physiological processes. It does not have any economic or intellectual basis. The use of hyphenated American is meaningful or not is a subject of intellectual debate and solution of a wisdom America. Celebrating Cultural Multiplicity Unity through Diversity “..savageness in humans uses diversity as a mean to extract earthly profit, wisdom in humans embraces diversity as an ocean of knowledge..” -- Ryan Baidya “..darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that..” –ML King “..learning takes us through many stages in life, but it fails us utterly in the hour of danger and temptation..” –MK Gandhi
