The notion of nationalism is always exclusionary.

It is the rejection of the rule by the "out-group," and the struggle to preserve the homogeneity of the membership of the "in-group." 

Only when there is an outsider one can realize his own identity in relation to his membership of which the group he belongs to.

Had there been no perceived differences among the population at any given locality, it is almost guaranteed that scarcity of resources shall eventually result in competition for survival. As such, the subsequent subdivision of that population into various groups is inevitable, simply due to the human desire for collective survival.

When I first posted this comment in public on an academic-oriented social media platform, initially I expected someone will come out and somewhat try to refute my comment, either in part or in whole, but it turned out that a form of constructive discussion took place instead.

半夜起來,一想到還有很多稿件要處理就心煩,然後突發奇想就多寫一小段部落格。以我的寫作速度,一天寫五千到一萬字都不是問題。

不過我總是覺得以我的才華,我應該還能有更好更高的成就。什麼「千里馬常有,伯樂不常有」/「懷才不遇」都不是藉口,良好際遇是需要自己創造的,就像我當年從一個完全沒有異性朋友的困境,用意想不到的方式來創造源源不絕的桃花一樣。
