Reciprocal Visa

Can you understand why I am pissed? My pride is shattered.

There is this tree standing between two countries.

In a fair situation, two countries may have reciprocal visa regimes i.e. If you allow my citizens to enter without a visa, I will allow your citizens to enter without a visa. It's an agreement between two countries. I don't understand what the hell you are thinking! I tried, but it's driving me crazy. You decided to reevaluate the agreement for some utterly vague sugar-coated reasons which I could never understand.

I know that you are busy and have other priority. You can only look after one tree at the time to the standard/perfection you desire. You thought by disclaiming this tree, you would have less pressure and would feel less guilty if you aren't doing your best for the tree. However, meanwhile, you are happy for me to entry your country like nothing is changed because you are unsure about the commitment and you wish I would still water the tree for you.

You are WRONG! The tree is dying and I don't know if it is going to survive through this! I don't even know if I have the permission to enter, to water! I know that it's just a piece of paper, a title, a formality, but it's important for me. Without it, I don't know what's my right, I don't know how to behave and I don't know when you are going to deport me and why! I don't even know what I did wrong!

It's NOT okay to be just being!
