Being a German is irreversible (corrected)

A person starts, according to my opinion, comprehending the defining difference of being a German, when s/he is 2-3 years old. At that age and for the rest of hers/his life he is going to experience a specific relationship between, observing and internally, reacting accordingly.

This specific relationship is the root cause of the admirable German civilization.

The German civilization builds, good families, wonderful cities, efficient machines, attractive universities, reliable personal bonds, secure social environments, satisfied people, etc.

A German, as all the other human beings, cannot dictate the external conditions of hers/his own life because there are, far to many, and far to strong, external influences which, jointly, regulate those conditions.

A German may become slandered; a German's close social circle may become adulterated; a German's quality of life may become severely degraded; all due to, potential, unethical and arbitrary interventions upon hers/his personal life. But, still, he remains a German, as, that can't ever be changed.

The inner inherited qualities constitute what, being a German, is; and the external, creative consequences offer, to the non Germans, the symbolic tools for them to discriminate between, what is German and what is not.

The German symbolic identity could be, easily, stolen through stealing and capitalizing those defining symbols.

But it is impossible, for a non German to become a German, just because he wishes to become one.

Concluding, I would express my certainty that, whenever, any of those which are the natural consequences of being a German, is needed by a German, then, that consequence (family, security, technical achievement, etc) is going to, naturally, manifest, at the proper time, provided that, this German, shall focus his attention upon the context of his specific need. It is, indeed, that simple.

There are various ways for, one, to maintain his even strength; while, specifically for the Germans, one of those ways is, to remember that he is a German.

P.S.:

1. After some research in the internet, this morning on 2/7/2017 I found out that my initial choice for the above song was unintentionally, unproductive. This unfortunate choice was due to my insufficient technical means, as well as, to my incomplete knowledge about History. I replaced it with a new one and I apologize for my negligence.

2. I have chosen the old German movie “Die kluge Schwiegermutter” (1939), because it is a comedy and because I red the movie's plot in wiki and I found it charming. But, I haven't watched the complete movie, due to having a slow internet connection.
