the great myanmar walk

i think the situation is just utterly ridiculous. what threat is a buddhist monk to the rule of gunfire?

but then again, what about 100,000 of them, marching for the people?

what's worth admiring is the fierce determination of monks. i mean seriously, they are prolly the ones who really have nothing to lose. and if the country continues to be so poor and desolated, every burmese will have nothing to lose either.

that's what i call a motivated revolution. they don't really care anymore if you point a gun at them. they can't feed themselves, their loved ones and they haven't got a usable penny to their name. SO SHOOT ME, they say.

okay but you see, i haven't gotten to what's ridiculous- small talk. all the powerful countries who could do something don't do anything, why? because they are selling weapons to the junta. and the US and European Union says they are deeply troubled, like that's supposed to save a monk or two. WAKE UP YOUR IDEA CAN.

right now i just feel horrid for the people that have been protesting the past 3 days. i wish i can lend them some kind of concrete support. i wish that i possess their passion and drive to fight for what they deserve. sometimes things happen and it is sooner or later before you have to get off the fence and do something of use.

perhaps the greatest blasphemy is the collective passivity of God's children.
