“Motherland. Madre Patria. We are born of a nation, and we are shaped by its features. Whatever that nation offers �� whether it’s hardship or opportunity �� is our inheritance.

When we see ourselves belonging wholly to our nation, it can be difficult to decipher its flaws and shortcomings. We make excuses for its failures and contradictions, just as family members sometimes cover for one another. It’s a form of denial.

Conversely, when your own nation lets you down, when it leaves you vulnerable, when it fails to make good on the promises of citizenship, the sense of betrayal you’re left with is nothing short of traumatic.”

“Th�� nhưng mà thôi, nói mấy cũng là thừa, bởi vì t�� xưa tới nay ai cũng biết là Bắc Việt nghèo
kh�� mà Nam Việt thì phè phỡn. Phè phỡn vì Nam Việt là con cưng được trời thương, nhưng
“con ghét làm nên�� có l�� cũng là được trời thương cách khác. Nhưng dù là con thương hay con ghét thì cũng là anh em ruột thịt cho nên Nam, Bắc lúc nào cũng thương nhau, mỗi khi thấy cẳng đậu đun hạt đậu, thì hạt đậu khóc hu hu:
Cùng chung nhau một m��,
Đun nhau n�� th�� ru?
