#upbringing — Public Fediverse posts

Dear fellow #Indians! Why? What part of your #education, #sanskaar, #culture or #upbringing motivates you to do this? Why such contempt for other cultures? Is this some sort of #conquest #fetish?

People #travel to learn & experience #places, #cultures and #cuisine that aren't our own. You're ruining it for us too.

PS: If you're an Indian who hates this too, please fight this perversion. Or we'll all lose the privilege to experience & enjoy the world one day.

A quotation from Thomas More

But doubtless Plato was right in foreseeing that unless kings became philosophical themselves, they would never take the advice of real philosophers, drenched as they are and infected with false values from boyhood on.
 
[Sed bene haud dubie praeuidit Plato, nisi reges philosophentur ipsi, nunquam futurum, ut peruersis opinionibus a pueris imbuti, atque infecti penitus philosophantium comprobent consilia.]

Thomas More (1478-1535) English lawyer, social philosopher, statesman, humanist, Christian martyr
Utopia, Book 1, ch. 1 “Discourses of Raphael Hythloday” (1518 ed.) [tr. Adams (1992 ed.)]

I don’t think he had known much demonstrative love in his childhood and what a child doesn’t receive he can seldom later give.

Feeling philosophical today: I guess this begs the question why do some people choose to do good while others choose to do bad? #Upbringing? #Genetics? #EconomicInequity? #Circumstances? #Sociopath? #Psychopath?
