I am a first genration born Asian American, my mom and dad were chinese immagrants from hong kong and canton, who came to America at around the mid 70's. They met by riding a trolley train in a tour of New Jersey, and fell in love and lived in a small apartment. Both my mom and dad on both sides have extended families, I have many cousins, Both the Tsang and the Yuen are huge, with many members. I
remember fondly the family dinners at Chinatown with chinese dinner tables, that spin around so each member can use chopsticks to share the meal because we all had rice. The thing is, that really encourages a good morality, because the spinning table is sharing. Meaning that if someone were to spin the table, it would have to be that particular person and not someone else. Because if two people were to touch the table in opposite directions it would not budge at all, so we have to be very courteous to offer the food to another. Which is common with most families, but very common with asian dinner table manners. The thing is, we must always spin the table so the other members who are across the table from us will have a chance to eat food. Even asian families are a little silent too, as well as white families and black families. A lot things happen to people every day, and we do not communicate well enough to let our family members know about it. Its because families in America.....well, its only a small group of people. Today there are millions of families in American but they are soo little COMMUNITIES. yes, groups of families, a wide variety of people with infinite potential and infinite minds. Wierd, huh? Even I live in a semi-affluent neighborhood that is very Safe, which I am thankful for. WHile being safe is fun, being secure (homeland, social security, job, wife) isnt. To the point where none of my current neighbors do not go out outside anymore to actually talk to other neighbors. I think we developed a subconscious fear and defesense guard system, so not only do we have alarms for our homes, our four wooden walls that are really expensive with mortages, yet we can actually used CAD and h**p material to make our own homes with any design besides rectangles.....we also have alarms on our emotions and souls. Anyone will jack you, sue you, punch you, verbal attack you, passive agressive you, sexual harrasment charges (because intimacy is discouraged in offices and school). Not that I want people to sexually harass each other (which reminds me of that old Dinosaurs show with that episode of "what "sexual" Harris meant, lol). But you arent allowed to show ....how you really feel! Too much politcial and office correctness. We need to be encouraged. Asians are different. Americans need positive encouragement, cause they are kinda weak. Asians, when you insult them, or discourage them, Actually will work that much harder to Prove you wrong! Thats why there is 2 geneations of billions of Asian kids who are attempting to be at the top all the time, with the best grades, the best standing for a college, to the point where they have more pressure than a rice cooker, to commit su***de if they dont reach the passing mark for a college entrance exam. If 1 million asian kids went to America, congress, house, senate, athletes, musicians, .....all would be asian. just accept it. and surpass it. competition is fun. if you just wanna win the "game" its not fun. Applies to both whites and asians. Trying to "win" actually limits your narrow ass western mind. Always focus on having fun. Now your free. So you can juke the defenseman and make slam dunks on the free throw line like michaal jordan. In the 90s jordan already had massive self-disicpline, but something snapped. he realized what basketball meant. Having fun. So he barreled through it in the 90s it was crazy nuts, cause i watched that and i was inspired. Today, nothing and no one inspires me anymore. Jordan is now a buisnessman, i bet he doesnt even touch a basketball anymore. i bet he aint having fun anymore and will become a fat person when hes old. How many people have lived and died? so few people actually make the world better. just one book, one mindset, one unique difference can do it. For more of my personal story, please help me purchase the Trademark via Kickstarter, either 1, 10, or 100, and Ill tell you just how deep my rabbit hole goes. Thank you from the bottom of my unconditional heart.
