Turning a Person to an Icon

 

 Whenever we introduce ourselves "from Myanmar", (here in Singapore) people would reply "So, how is Aung San Suu Kyi? And your Government is no good at all. How are you people doing with that kind of government? We can't understand how myanmar people can cope with them".  

The answer is: We've been used to them.

When our parents were young, they've been taught to -be honest, pay respect to elders, try hard to study, and obey the rules and regulations without complaint. If someone could find a way to neglect rules by some means, he/she could be a black sheep in a herd. To say frankly, very rare people came out of negotiation with elders to get what they want but elder's won't. Resulting we became icon of obedient society.  

People these days, became more and more negligable to hardening rules and tightening rulers' grip. Well, come to think of it, some people really don't get along very well with governing system. How do they stand till end of every day? The only thing: 'It's not my business', and fleeing out of those rulers' grip. We are good as dead meat in our own way.

While the majority of society turn out in this way, a courageous person had stood out for those majorities. Thinking for her own life, there would have no way to lead and stand for these used-to-be-with-brutal people.  But she really stood for everyone including herself, in front of all of us. She is the one. She is our democracy leader, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.

Well, we've got a situation today.

There, we would see how's the unfaired judgment was announced on our National Democracy Revolution's Icon Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. The society and situations turned out in harder and faster water-fall way. Our leader's life is not for drowning, we trust her with our lives. But I hope the most important thing for current situation is to trust ourselves firmer and better way. She had showed us her way of standing her own ground. She defended her status in the fair and clean way. The unfair judgement has nothing to do with her own courage. I do hope all other people, including me, have infected with her courage.
