I feel sorry for those who never had the opportunity to learn a foreign language. I feel those people not only miss the language, but also the knowledge and insight that this usually provides, like empathy and understanding a non-local point of view.
The lack of foreign language knowledge is something that could be the reason for the dumb nationalism that is rising.
Yea… I think learning English and experiencing the world from both Eastern and Western perspectives made me just hate war and I have a strong desire of people just being able to exist in peace. A US-China war is like my worst nightmare, since both sides would just hate and distrust Chinese Americans.
