People on my backpacking 189 - Patriotism grows from an early age
What a coincidence! Today, I encountered another 89-year-old super-aged man on Pattaya Beach. Yesterday he was French, and today he is Italian. They share similar eyesight, hearing, and language abilities, and both have traveled extensively, especially in Pattaya, where they spent six months annually for ten years. Most older Westerners in Thailand stay for six months or more, as they can stay without a visa for three months and renew it for another three months. They enjoy lower prices and pleasant winter weather.
I admired their patriotism of their countries, which is evident not just as people age but also due to their openness to the world and pride in their history. This patriotism is attributed to their parents and school teachers who have taught them about their country since childhood. Their trait to love and respect their country's founder and flag was a consistent with advanced powers like the USA, Japan, EU countries, and Israel. This education is a successful national education, fostering a strong sense of national pride.
I asked him who was his favorite leaders in ancient Italy, the Middle Ages, and the modern era. He identified Marcus Brutus as the ancient figure, Galileo as the medieval figure, and Silvio Berlusconi as the modern figure. I told him Brutus was killer, who assassinated Caesar, the representative hero of Rome and the adoptive father of him. But he said, Brutus chose Rome over Caesar and was a leader with courage and insight, making judgments about what was most essential.
Galileo, a brilliant priest and scientist, played a significant role in the Middle Ages by proving the heliocentric hypothesis. Berlusconi, a national leader, lacked national leadership but seized control of political, economic, and media institutions. However, he criticized the Italians for choosing Berlusconi as Prime Minister three times in a row. And so his politics were on the level of his people he said. He was allegedly quoted as saying, "The people who want to be deceived by themselves can be deceived.¡°
Told him that I prefer to go see for myself where the huge vestiges of global history still exist. That's why I went to Tunisia's Zama in 1995. That was where General Hannibal of Carthage and Roman General Scipio put an end to the 16-year-long the 2nd Punic War. Of course, it concluded with General Scipio's victory, but I wondered who he believed was more important: General Hannibal or General Scipio?
He again used Brutus' comparative phraseology and favored General Hannibal over General Scipio, arguing that the word of peace was subservient and only used by weak, shallow slaves. He saw winning a war as peace in itself, and he believed that peace achieved without fighting was phony. He added that if the Roman Empire had had a competent commander like Hannibal, Rome would have been remembered as the largest empire in history.
Like yesterday's man, I sensed that this man possessed the fervent patriotism that another great colonial power gave birth to. I realized that just because individuals become older doesn't mean they all become patriots and responsible adults who care about their nation for their children. I again learned this vital lesson today via lengthy chats with a super-aged person of another nationality.
If a foreigner asked me this question: "Who is the greatest leader in the history of ancient Korea?" I would gladly mention King Munmu, King Muyeol, and General Kim Yu-shin, who unified Goguryeo and Baekje with Silla, exterminated Tang warriors, and established a thousand-year reign known as 'Unified Silla.' That is because I can explain the origins of today's prosperous 'Korea'. Well, you know, just picturing it makes me happy.
To keep this thrilling emotion alive, I should remember myself that the 89-year-old Italian I met today cursed the Italian people's not only folly but awful, dumb, low-quality crook as their national leader. Because he claimed Italians were even worse than the "Belarusconi" Prime Minister, who destroyed and humiliated their own country, Italy.
(*Note: In global history, three millennium-old capitals exist: Gyeongju near Busan in Korea, Venizia in Italy, and Istanbul in Turkey.)
Thanks for reading.
