假如生活在唐宋時期呢？看到當時的歐洲，對中國人西方人的印像要不要反過來？

如果你是當時的歐洲人，是不是又要自愧形穢一番？

Or, what if you lived in the more remote past when Egypt mattered the most，should you feel sorry for the Chinese and the Europeans altogether? Or, if you live in a yet to come future when China represents the pinnacle of human civilization, would you dismiss the poor Westerners then?

You live in comparison，my friend. Your education seemingly serviced to provide you with more materials for comparison other than wisdom.

With this mindset, even if one happened to be a Westerner, he won't be able to apply the better part of western culture. Perhaps many westerners who have been doing terrible things around the world are of this character though some of they believe they have done the world a good service.

After all, being Chinese isn't that bad. Think of being Africans, native Americans, Indians , Persians... They are part of humanity too.

"Identify with the unknown". This line is also for you.

It is from an Indian guru.
