What does this mean? For Nepal, it means that there are many excellent historical examples to follow as it deals with this process. And it also means that many developed nations will be peeking at Nepal to gather some its spiritual wisdom as they deal with the process of clarifying their own belief systems.
Nepal has two very unique examples next door. What can Nepal learn from these two giants?
There is an almost magical, inspirational quality to both of these mythic figures. How many billions of human beings have already drawn the strength to go on from their example? How many billions more will continue to be inspired by their efforts to remake the two largest nations on earth into their respective visions? Mighty they were and mighty they remain.
Nepal, in her spiritual wisdom, has a variety of visions and dreams to choose from, and that is to her great benefit. Indeed, Nepal can pick and choose from these three great examples in deciding what course is best for her future.
Nepal is, of course, influenced by the world. And it, in turn, influences the world in many subtle ways. For Nepal is the only Hindu Kingdom in the modern world. Nepal is also the birthplace of Guatama Buddha, known as Shakyamuni to many. Thus, two of the world's greatest religions can lay claim to a place deep in Nepal's heart and spiritual bosom.
Asians and a few Westerners know well what Nepal means to the world. That these Westerners are predominantly the fierce falcons who climb the world's tallest mountains is perhaps not a coincidence, for they see things few other humans actually get a chance to.
As we stand on the precipice of a New Year, we wave goodbye to the old 2005, a year of incredibly momentous change for the world and Nepal. And we all can hope and pray that 2006 will bring peace, prosperity and continued progress on the long march of human endeavor that we call "Life".
And may Nepal, as well, find her way to her own unique destiny.

Its ok.. But.. katie | Jun 23rd, 2007
I think this is very well written. Im not sure if I agree or disagree,
but I would like to point out something:
"When things get out of balance, the universe has a way of balancing things despite the wishes and desires of the rich and powerful..."
The Universe doesn't testify in court against goverment and war crimes, It doesnt help pay for food and water aids in unrest countries. The Universe doesnt help rebuild homes after tsumanis, and hurricanes.
It doesnt pay for the damage done to cities or the stadiums used to house people/
Wow. Since we get to use the Universe as not only a refrence and exscuse, but also a payable savior to all our problems, then I really need to thank the toothfairy for visiting little sally's bed side and leaving a quarter before New Orleans was destroyed..
Like come on K, You cant use the Universe as a reason the world is balancing out?
Without war, there is not Peace. Without hate, there is not Love.
-katie.
