Topic: What's so great about America?
Since there are so many people on this forum trying to come to US, I wanted to point out something we all have seen around us: people talking bad about US, their culture, their immigration system, their moral decay (as seen in hollywood movies). Why do so many people "bad-mouth" the US, but yet, millions want to move to the US every year and eventually get settled here?
Truth is, the US provides the best life in terms of wealth, freedom, innovation, entrepreneurship, integrity, and moral character which is hard to find in any other country. Just count how many immigrants have accumulated more wealth and lived safer and healthier lives in this country than if they had stayed back in their own country?
In America, you can pick virtually any profession to try to excel at it. Couples who wish to marry don't compare their birth status first. If they're not happy with each other, then they separate rather than live a life of mental torture.
When some third world country mistreats prisoners of war, it's soon forgotten, and even considered somewhat apt. But when America mistreats prisoners of war, there is a huge outcry. Why is that? Because America is held to such a high moral standard that every small unethical act is noticed and questioned.
America is a country where you "hear" about racism, but hardly ever get to "see" it.
America is a country where you can't tell the rich from the poor, because more than money, it's character and integrity that matters.
I wouldn't trade living in America for anything else. God has given me a chance to live in America, and I'll make use of it and raise my kids here.
Thanks for listening.
Amen |
