Where do we go now?

Jul 1st, 2008

It is obvious that we cannot go on the way we have for the past decades. Nothing, it seems can shift the Burma regime from their position of power. They cling to their thrones like leeches to human flesh, sucking as much blood as possible from their victims to keep themselves fat and will not let go until they are replete. They are like cancerous cells, killing the good cells until they take over the whole body, nothing will stop the SPDC from murdering innocent civilians and children in Burma just so that they get their own way. They are like cancerous cells who will survive above all else.

Obviously, Burma will not and cannot survive in such a sad and tragic way.
Many of us who have been human rights activists for years will know that being an activist is a thankless and difficult path that we have taken, but we go on and on hoping that one day we will see the light at the end of the tunnel.

We see our people in Burma having to suffer horrendously in the hands of the regime, how brave they had been and are at every turn of event, how they long for freedom and justice, how they struggle to survive and how they have been defeated time and time again. Many of them have given their blood reaching out for the democracy that never came within their grasp.
It is not because of our ineptitudes that we have not gained democracy. No one is to blame. Everyone does what they can; NLD do what they can according to their capability and circumstances.

The Military Regime had their act together a long time before any one thought of opposing them. They saw to it that whatever happens, they will survive, and survive as they have for 60 years.

If we think that Burma will be free of the regime one day, it will not be because they will give up the power but it will be because they cannot survive any more.

Human beings are meant to evolve spiritually by being compassionate and kind toward other living beings, but the regime will not stop at harming anyone who get in their way or are assumed by them as threats to their survival.As human beings we change and grow with time and it is to be expected and inevitable that our old outworn attitudes have no place in the present or in the future. This will ensure that the regime’s attitude will not survive longer than natural law allows it to. Like dinosaurs, if they don’t evolve, they will become extinct.
If we don’t change, natural law will take over to change us.
