Indians are hated a lot in 2020

for poverty, for corruption, for religion & for failure in general. It’s all irrelevant & part of the cycle of civilizations. Civilizations earn respect, just like humans do in person.

Buckle up & keep working to make your nation better.
The wheel of time is long, and it spins slowly. Everything we see here, these stories narratives wars dreams has already happened & will happen again.

We were the pinnacle of humanity at one point and we are the bottom of it now.

Doesn’t matter. Our goal is improvement
I’m sure if Nordics in 900 were told they’d be recognized or seen as some of the most civilized and industrious people on earth, they’d laugh their heart out themselves.

And I am sure if a Vedic Arya in 500 CE or 500 BCE was told his nation would be “3rd world” he would laugh.
And I am sure if a Sassanid lord in the 600s was told, as he was besieging the walls of Constantinople & building the greatest empire on earth— that your entire empire will go poof in 80 years, he would have called you a top clown

But it happened & the House of Saasan went poof.
So this is all irrelevant, all part of nature, all deemed to happen over and over.

Civilizations rise & fall. Only thing that matters is we make sure we rise in the future. Time is literally the great equalizer. Internet shitposting is just that, shitposting. At end of day
“Alexander, Pompey, Caesar—who utterly destroyed so many cities, cut down so many 1000 foot & horse in battle—they too departed this life. Heraclitus often told us the world would end in fire. But it was moisture that carried him off; he died smeared with cowshit.”

““You boarded, you set sail, you’ve made the passage. Time to disembark. If it’s for another life, well, there’s nowhere without gods on that side either. If to nothingness, then you no longer have to put up with pain and pleasure,””

- Meditations, Marcus Aurelius
