after watching the youtube video made me ponder about the p word.
one would probably condemn the torture that man had to go through for 2 decades. why would someone be punished for standing with his beliefs? those were good beliefs that were intended to benefit than rob.
however, p is like a well which one cannot see the end to.
i don't find blame in those who did what they did, because that was how the world worked. it is happening every second, not just during those formative days of the nation. look around you. look at your company. look at the leisure clubs you join. so long there is hierarchy, so long there is a position of power, there will be a struggle.
how about sharing everything with everyone? does it make the world a better one? seemingly not.
i don't think there is a best way of doing things. there is no one perfect system which is better than another. it all falls upon a balance and the balancing is a continual effort. we constantly have to add or less the burden on each end.
they say those who does the balancing are one of the best paid. i'm wondering would those who rant about it want to take on such a responsibility themselves? to front movements and changes. to be criticized most of the time. do we have the capacity to take up a role like that? i don't think i can. well, at least i feel those who are doing so are doing a fantastic job. you know chinese like to say 一分钱一分货(translation: you get what you pay for).
so, if this system is not good, what will you suggest? how do you think your suggested system will work in the context of today? would it have made it better?
those are big things to grapple.
it's always easy to point and blame. it's always easy to look back in retrospect and find fault.
only those who are visionary can lead and create. those who dared to take that step out and say, "this way, follow me." it took more than looking at a crystal ball and then saying "ah-hah!"
to me, he is a leader who earned the respect and did a great job. we stand in justification of that.

Interesting subject...but i've not seen the link to the youtube video. To me p stands for phenomenon. A phenomenon is any observable occurrence. In popular usage, a phenomenon often refers to an extraordinary event. In scientific usage, a phenomenon is any event that is observable. Take a case in kind during the recent world cup. Paul the Octopus affirms that we all have a hidden superstition that Spain will emerge winner over Nederland... :-)
the video should be removed by now. but i do have a pdf version of its content if you will be interested to read of.
i saw a forwarded email on paul the prophet predicting which party would win the next election. =)
Hahaha that octopus who successfully predicted all those World Cup games? He’s back in the form of an iOS Apple application that makes predictions about anything you want it to, not just football.
secretly tell billy to download......lol
i wonder if paul can give us the right prediction to which stock counter is going to fall/rise in the next few days! so many counters..how is he going to pick?
