What is Assyrians' Ultimate Resolution for 2008?
By: Ashur Sada. Jan. 1, 2008
A new year, a new beginning, a new hope. A lot of
hope. As we enter 2008, what is Assyrians' ultimate resolution? of course,
different people have different resolutions. But what if we were to take the
average of these resolutions? In other words, the sum total of such resolutions
as "I will work to serve my nation even more", "I will spend more time
to unite with other Assyrians", I will put more efforts to help spread
unity amongst my people" is what? I don't know about you, but the average of
most Assyrian resolutions is something like "In 2008, I will be a better
Assyrian, period!" Ok, I know, I know, I haven't asked every Assyrian
about their resolution. But we know what the feeling out there is. Assyrians are
just tired of all the disunity and fighting amongst our various political
parties and figures. 2008 is the year to change it all, or at least the year to
start changing it.
Towards Unity of all Assyrians
It is all about unity. If the majority of us have a resolution that deals with
some hope or work towards unity, it will be a good year. Unity, whether amongst
our various religious denominations, or political parties, is what our nation
strongly lacks and needs at this time. With unity come a lot of other good things. Power,
strength, pride, control, influence and more, are all products of unity. Unity
will also mean less power in our enemies' hands to remote control us and make us
fight one another. Brothers should never have to fight their own brothers.
Assyrians should never have to fight with their own Assyrians. It is OK to
disagree and argue, they are all signs of democracy and freedom of expression.
But disagreement should not lead to other more undesired consequences, a lot of
which our nations has been a victim of for many years and decades now.
Since a resolution is a commitment to do and change something, and never stop
until completed, a unity resolution could mean an end to a lot of our nation's
problems. If Assyrians spend more time to fix their unity issues, amongst the
various parties, factions, tribes, churches etc., you could soon see a better
future for Assyria.
You are probably tired of all your past resolutions about losing weight,
quitting smoking and other personal social improvements. So why not try a
different type of resolution? one that can influence the masses in whole. One,
if done collectively, could have a huge impact. Can you just imagine for a
second, if every or majority of Assyrians had a similar resolution dealing with
Assyrian unity, and they actually put an effort to make it happen? if weapons,
the UN and money don't help us, something as simple as a new year resolution
could do the job. Just try it. You will be amazed at how many new Assyrian
friends you will start to have. And Assyria will rise once again, thanks to this
unity amongst all its people.
