Border is a human invention that its principal purpose is to define boundaries of political entities.
This restriction of boundaries helped some countries or empires to blossom... but also helped some other counties like mine to get unwillingly divided from third party forces letting sorrow & sadness to spread & last for years & years...
However not all the human inventions work perfectly & borders might be one of those cases... Or even if we assume that a notion is a perfect or even ideal in theory, in practice is not that prefect since humanity actions proved that in life sometimes things are impossible to be completely clear or aligned with their initial purpose of a concept. Also, human actions have showed that we all have a "minus" in how we think or how we do certain things either as individuals, families, societies or countries as a whole...

& i am wondering...
* why do all the neighbour countries historically had if not hate amongst them lets say that they just don't love each other? hate is not something that we are born with but something that we are being taught isn't it?
* countries are not as they where in the past "clear" in terms of ethnicity's - people have the right & they clearly do skip living in their "original" boundaries & move to other countries. & since people move in different countries the pre-hating neighbours do now co-live, co-exist & co-operate sharing experiences, cultures, ideas, feelings or even simpler things such as their local cuisines under one regional boundary.& that seems to work well not to mention better in certain cases. Aren't we all related to all the rest & ultimately isn't that that brings the change? or is anybody the island or the country him/her-self?
* the border isn't a perception that just does exist in our heads? why do we let our head to rationalize our feelings? don't they exist just in our minds & not so much in our heart? will our mind or soul work in a different way if we are in the one side of the border or the other? don't we all breath, feel & live in similar ways?
* why do those borders in times that considered to be "modern" or otherwise more open-minded than those in the past, still constitute the source of pain or hate? or are we just open-minded & not openhearted?
& I am asking...
" Why we don't realize" or "Why we're too blind to see" or just "Why it has to be like this"... please give me an answer...

Having a degree in history changed some of my perspectives on nationalism...I don't agree with it but I understand how some of those conflicts rose. And most of the time, that's all it is: history and economics.
