Proud of being Bhutanese!


 

There is a totally different level of pride, perhaps the best kind, that I feel when I call myself Bhutanese. It is a beautiful feeling one gets when one thinks about the best thing in life. It makes us feel most fortunate. I could actually even write an epic about how grateful I am to be born in a paradise like Bhutan, and it still might not suffice. Growing up in a place where I could go outside every morning, spread my arms wide open and breathe the fresh air is a gift in itself. Such is the joy of being a Bhutanese; one is merely thankful to the Triple Gem for every little thing in life, from being able to wake up in the morning to a brand-new day.  Life is simple, glad and happy in Bhutan. There is more giving with love and compassion than wanting to acquire and own for selfish reasons. Living in a country where everybody knows everybody else like we are a one big family is something rare and truly Bhutanese. To the world at large today, Bhutan is widely called the ‘Land of Happiness’.



Above all, living under the rules of our generous and benevolent Kings, and being inspired every single moment is the greatest pride of being a Bhutanese. Having someone to look up to and striving to be a better human being each day is nothing less than a miracle, which again is the national identity of being a Bhutanese. Our Kings and leaders have always placed the needs of the people before everything and have done everything to enable the citizens to lead a happy life. Free education, free healthcare, rich environment, rich cultural values, and happiness as the ultimate goal are a few givens that we only need to be thankful for being Bhutanese.

His Majesty has hopes in the Bhutanese to lead the country to a better path and has entrusted the future of the nation in the hands of the youth. we are indeed very lucky to be born in Bhutan, but is Bhutan lucky to, have you? Have these questions ever crossed your mind? No never would be the shortest answer for this.  

Therefore, as a Bhutanese youth, I am responsible to uphold the cultural and social values of the country: taking care and respecting others, making peace, knowing my responsibilities as an individual and a citizen, preserving the culture and protecting the environment.

To be a Bhutanese, for me, is to be a true GNH citizen.
