Thinking of the chaos now in Myanmar, fear lies deep within the hearts of the people despite the calmness of the city. A bloody revolution might just take place and thousands of lives might just be lost for a cause these demonstrators and monks so believe in. What can the world do but watch as the powerful junta or military regime crush these demonstrators with tear gas and live ammunition.
Yet again, we do not need to have well toned hunks act out stories of revolution, holding stones and hurling at the military? All we need is tune in to the latest news and we see sad pictures of life happening around us. Same goes for the endless bombings in Iraq and Pakistan. We do not need war movies to remind us of the pain these terrorists inflict and the tears they potentially create.
Therefore my question to you, as you sit comfortably in your air-con room and reading this blog, are you aware of the bitterness and sadness this world carries? If you think we are somewhat unfortunate that we do not own lands and cars ... think of those people in these war torn countries who do not even own the simplest form of human expression - freedom.
