Questions about nationalism

Formation of a country or nationalism probably as a concept can be backtracked even 5000 years ago. I don't think humanity is going backward but there are strong reasons why so many conscious minds are making these decisions. Why do we humanity divide into nations & create a hostile environment for immigrants or neighboring countries?   Why certain religious immigrants are considered to be refugees? Is it because they align to certain beliefs? Or if those refugee immigrants get citizenship, surely, that vote is assured to the political party that granted citizenship? We're ready to use the technologies, products, inventions, or sports from other countries but at times we can not tolerate living with people across nations together. The moment we give citizenship to immigrants, then we end up paying our tax money to the immigrants and they start getting benefits like vote, food, water, health, education, etc. If we're consuming the benefits of other nations then it is

What I miss at one's demise? (contd)

I'm writing this while I'm waiting outside of the Intensive Care Unit. I saw 2-women crying for the beloved. Both get tired faster after some time & stops crying. One was fully normal after the initial burst of emotions & whereas the other continued to cry remembering something deep. Why does human mourn so much? In my previous post , I'd narrated a perspective of being in a moment & but there is an interesting perspective about wholeness which helps us to see why being in the moment is important. Imagine that we are seeing a beautiful phone or chair. We do enjoy the sight of the beautiful phone or chair like we enjoy a beautiful sky but soon we feel to own the same! The thought may be occurring because we feel separated from the beautiful object/subject. The moment division (or separation) of the observed vs. observer occurs that is when the conflict arises. But if we view the world as a whole including us & the beautiful phone or chair or sky is part of

What I miss at one's demise?

Incidentally read a post that, a man miss his late brother as he saw a photo. Reminded me when I miss out dear ones. My consciousness is formed in the dimension of time. My consciousness will end with my lifespan. Since my lifespan is obvious, is it the urge to be with that person in my lifespan that results in the feeling of missing? Or If that person was there it will give a sense of security? Security in all terms like social, physical, financial etc. A person as a whole includes his recurring daily routines etc. When we say we miss one upon one's demise, is it a whole person Or just that person's good will for me? The whole person is no more & that is the fact. Is it my selfish urge to be with that person or my secure feel with that person, or that person's good will to me - what is that I miss about that person? The perspective diminishes remarkably when we try to look at my personal feeling from a dimension of the time. For eg. A well managed world will

Why travel to meet friends & family?

A deep topic for me. I've been pondering about this. This came in one of the lunch table discussions with my colleagues. One asked about the right vacation choice, where he had an option to stay back at his rented home near work or accompany the family to in-laws place near his hometown. Another person whom with I'd a chat himself was indicating that he has started visiting home often these days & he feels happy. Realized that I'd started written this post & kept it in the draft! Why do we travel to meet one in person?  Every single time I've thought about it. It reminds me of the visual I'd when I was waiting near the causality of Calicut Medical College when one of our dear friends passed away & the doctor crew was trying hard to pump up the heart! I could also imagine how my distant relative's brother passed away & he was carrying his body asking if someone could wake him up! The breath is really valuable! There are times when you wish
