S: I'm here right now, am I not? Be satisfied with that. I'm doing my best, but sometimes I feel this country isn't right for me, or maybe i'm not right for this country. The politics, the customs, the people, the unimaginable and unspeakable injustice that happens every day; it all sometimes feels alien and hostile. why would you begrudge me my happiness? Why would you force me to stay when I'd be happier living in another country; one that can tolerate "deviants" like me.
A: Because the grass is always greener on the other side; you only think that you'll be happier because right now you are not. Compared to this any other place is bound to be better isn't it? What flawed thinking. What makes you think you'll be happier? All you have in your head is a rosy picture of an idyllic life in a bright neighborhood, surrounded by beautiful people, that has been put in your head by Hollywood. Life is just as hard elsewhere; the hours are just as long, the crime rate is just as high. Whats more, you'll be starting from scratch, with no family support structure to fall back on in hard times.
S: I think you are forgetting, I studied for three years in London. I have seen the grass, and it is greener, at least for me. the workload there might be hard, even harder than what I have here, but at least I'll be free to think what I want, eat what I want, and most importantly be who I want to be. I don't measure my happiness in power or wealth, I measure it in my passions, and the freedom to pursue them.
A: Your passions? I think I have a fair idea what that is. For such minute details you are willing to give up your country, where you were born, where you were raised. Remember this; no matter how much you assimilate in the society you go to, you will never be like a person who has been socialized there, you will be an outsider. There you will be in minority, one that is often discriminated against. This is you land. do you have no notions of patriotism. If we won't stay to fix this nation, who will.
S: Don't throw that at me, I don't owe this nation anything, it has done nothing for me, in fact it has robbed me at every turn. I already feel like an outsider here. I am a minority here too. How hard could another country be?
