Culture the Pillar of Happiness

“Culture is the pillar that drives GNH more than any other. Good thought, good speech and good action and being polite, courteous and respectful – not before high officials or Lamas – beget respect and therefore happiness for oneself.
Most of us want to become doctors, engineers and teachers but none of us express our desire to serve our parents, return the love, affections and support we received from them. This shows the nature and kind of children we are.
If we cannot think well for our parents, we are the least likely person to take care of our country.
How many of say La, Laso, to parents? Our parents deserve our respect. Now a day none but few address our relatives as Acho, Au, Atta, Anna and as a result the sense of affection and care by the elder to the younger – a simple GNH is lost.
Therefore let us respect and love our parents, brothers and sister from the heart, so we achieve one of the simple GN”.

This was the best speech of the week delivered by my daughter Phuntsho Peldon Wangmo of grade IV.
Any comments please.
