Today is Switzerland's National Day.
I would like to send you our heartfelt wishes on behalf of my family, friends, and fans. You are a land blessed beyond words, a heaven on earth. The Holy Bible speaks of a paradise where no one sleeps outside or dies of hunger, and animals and humans coexist in peace. Among all the nations, it is you, Switzerland, that brings this vision to life.
You are a country where doors remain unlocked, and journeys continue without fear. A place where everyone, including children, women, and girls, can walk the streets at night without fear of being harmed. Your social system cares for the low-income, the sick, and the disabled. Refugees find shelter and nourishment within your borders.
You are a country with the highest valued banknote in Europe, the CHF 1,000. A land where workers' incomes are secure, pensions are guaranteed, and the health system is of the highest quality.
We celebrate you as the rain pours down, washing away all sorrows and worries, and refreshing you with abundant blessings.
To those living in Switzerland as migrants, here is my advice:
Learn the language and embrace the culture.
- Speak well of the country.
- Respect and obey the laws.
- Make friends with the Swiss.
- Pray for the country.
- Respect law enforcement officers.
- Start a serious business, provide jobs, and you will prosper.
And to Switzerland, my single piece of advice: please, restore your neutrality. Stay away from warmongers.
Happy National Day.
