Help yourself

I hope everyone has a good New Year celebration. I hope this year will bring new life to the routes you take. It has been too long for me to write something on the page. This is one of those times that it is hard to start writing about things. I tried hard not to let the event in Cambodia or personal life affects the things I do. But everyone knows that it is nearly impossible to do such things. The diminishing hopes of renew life support for people in Cambodia seems to glow dimmer each year. The society of life in Cambodia appears to adapt the cut-throat mentality. Survival of the fittest overshadows the understanding, kindness, and compassion of our own kind. The Buddhist law of Metta, Karuna, Muteda, and Opheka oppresses by the capitalistic society and the powerful. The lands are being grabbed and the lives of ordinary people are slowly choked to death. Cambodia will soon become the land of the wandering death. Where do you bury the survivors? This will be known as the rebirth of Cambodia. The new Cambodia will be divided by clans, locations, and the broken bridge of rich versus poor. If not today, the iron curtain of Cambodia will soon surround its people. When the final iron curtain comes down, the rebirth begins.
Growth: throughout the year we have seen improvement in communication, good roads, many schools, nice hospitals, and beautiful architectural sceneries. It is the law of nature to give something in order to take something back. But this is the visual affect of the international techno-frenzies publicity stunts. Unfortunately, most people have given their souls. The one sacred thing that a person has to show the way of moral values.
It is heart broken to see the setting up of the final curtain to the Cambodian society. The script has been written, the players are chosen, the places have been chosen on the chalkboard, but just a matter of time. Let it be peace and equity throughout our broken hearts. While we always search to blame some other people than ourselves, there is no one to blame but our individual self. A person in the mirror is only a reflection. S/he does not have feeling unlike the person stands in front of it. There is no blame to give and no hands to point fingers. Please always remember “the sum is always greater than its parts”.
All I can say is take care of yourself…
