Hey guys...sorry been busy lately with my work. One of the eight winds i guess. Was swayed away by greed for authority. But no worry, my intention is for good purpose. Just that I had not planned well and wanted to achieve instant result. Childish thought!
Seems like I've been very laggin with what is happening around huh...why dun update me wan geh? Heard that you all had been chatting online...I used to be a frequent messenger kaki wor, but people used say once started to date, one will slowly stop from playing messenger. However, this is not my case, i was busy with work...you know, my company work for World Peace!
I've just read the latest post by MNX and partial from Monkey, am very glad that we are so involved. Hope that this will not be momentary joy, but a stable force which will keep our momentum going no matter where we end up to be, life must go on!
Alright...my homework is as follows:
Though this may be short(i find that it is actually not after i finish typing) but it had been lingering in my mind for quite some time. Aside from ecological integrity of the planet and building peace infrastructure, i was deeply struck by the second area of the proposal, that is Protecting Human Dignity.From my understanding, this topic simply means to respect each other. As the topic is well defined as to protect human rights, to many people, it means to take care of their own rights and protect the piece of share they should get from the earth in which they reside instead of in the course of all human.
For instance, we can see from the recent issue of fuel hike. There are a lot of reports claiming about the much money that our government has siphoned into their own pocket. Then we see a lot of observer who tends to be very updated with this issue voice out their dissatisfaction. I'm not here to discuss about government policy but to analyse how the people around us think. This colleague of mine likes to comment a lot on the politics, bad government, our country being oil exporter with highest fuel price, etc. What you guess would be his next comment? It's towards his dissatisfaction towards the company. Poor management, slow increment, a lot of BS, no value, bla...bla...bla...Yet you know what he does? He has a personal company out there which he planned to take up the business of my current company. And so he whine about the company for cheating him. And so he whine about Malaysias Government does not return the crude oil money that belongs to the country he resides.
Bare in mind, I am not discussing about politics but how one person carry himself to talk about human rights when he is not actively participating in upholding it. (why my sentence sound so complicated?)
What I mean here is for us to reflect our self before we point our fingers to the others.
If we wanna talk about protecting human dignity without being an examplary individual for others, then we would bound to fail. To really understand the importance of human dignity is when we uphold justice and practice the correct way of living. We can always achieve this through living the Buddha way. To have compassion and wisdom to think of all human instead of only individual welfare.
If we are living our lives in a negative lifestyle which go against justice, rigthteousness, then we ourselves have no dignity.
So shall we ask if we are true to ourselves?
What has been proposed in the peace proposal would be a concrete methodology to uphold human dignity.
But before we could carry out the mission, we need to change the mindset of people around us to start respecting other's from a positive point of view. As Malaysian are majority with selfish thoughts for themselves, as fellow citizen, it is very important for us to open up everybody's heart to think from the view of others. We shall learn to be more loving, accepting others weaknesses and learn to praise more and utmost sincerely. Then we can carry on to Protect Human Rights positively from a broader perspective.
What is deeply rooted in my entire sharing is about human revolution that we should practise in order to convince ourselves that human right can be protected when we are protecting the human right of all human instead of for the safeguard of one person.
Lately i have been thinking of a 'Never say 'NO'' campaign for our fellow Block 2 comrades. As replying with the word 'NO' is in fact a very disencouraging response. Most often it will hurt others or maybe create misunderstanding. We shall learn to give a better response such as, "This idea may be good, but one negative consequence I could think of is..."
Yeah...it become more 'cheong hei' but it shows sincerity in taking into consideration of others' ideas, suggestion and thoughts. Then trust, respect and harmony come into place. We start to think from other's perspective.
Wow, how could i be so long winded. Maybe the above sharing is more on personal view rather than elaborating PP, hopefully you guys could reach to this particular point where I should thank you for the patience to read my post.
Once again, thank you. See you guys on Friday! Bring money to pay for the Kiki's delivery oh....RM2.50 each.
Yours,
Yang Cantik, Cantik 'Yang' (sayang...)
