Thought for the day: It is one thing to say that a country is built by immigrants. However, it is also true to say that emigrants left their country of origin because they felt that the conditions for their future weren't being met.

Be it conditions of culture, economic, religion , stability , weather or whatever it is, the emigrant makes a tacit acknowledgement those conditions simply are not there. So much so they are prepared to leave, and they are willing to take the risk of going somewhere else.

If you do this, then as an emigrant, it befalls on you to accept, embrace and integrate with whatever culture, economic, religion , stability , weather or whatever your new place has. It is what it is and you have chosen to leave your behind. You cannot expect your new place to change, you have to adapt and change to suit it.

I say this as a person, who has emigrated twice in my life.
