So have you done anything to help fellow Singaporeans even though
you attempted to offer "solutions" to many problems?
All I see is you being so free everyday to offer armchair
criticism on fellow forumers instead of spending time helping the
needy. Why don't you take the first step by coming over to Habitat
for Humanity, Singapore, to help, since you seemed so concern about
fellow citizens?
This long post is meant solely for Gensis and others are free
not to read it. To do so is one's wish and right.
1. Make no mistakes, I am not the one complaining about
policies, if you are blind. It is not up to me to offer any
solutions, for I support our society's policies, and we will
ultimately evolve and change in time, a pace all can accept so that
none gets left behind.
USA had 200+ years of history and yet to achieve the lofty
idealisms of a perfect democratic sociey. How much must we, thru
better education of our young to see progress in political
achievements, through a conducive and peaceful environment for
growth.
I am a nobody and insignificant, just a reader here, and who
came across so many posts, criticisms after criticisms and yet for
all the hate fill messages, they offer no solutions, or only
impractical ideas of lofty idealism best suited for novels and not
the real world.
Yet I had not attempted to shut their mouths, but only to reveal
and show up who they really are and stand for. I had seen with my
own eyes in states within US, France, England and Australia on how
the naive are manipulated to serve selfish ends, with the innocent
ending up in body bags. Angry young men manipulated by corporations
lobby or self interest groups in NGOs, chinese restaurants wrecked,
indians brutalised, etc.
I have no wish to see my fellow citizens thus. There is no
denying that life is harsh nowadays, but there are not alone for
everyone is suffering in some measure, in the world, not just a
few. It is not a fault of ours or our society, but an external
creation many are now familiar with.
Many who come here, see the demoralizing postings will
themselves be demoralized, for none offer solutions. Worse still
are they being manipulated to serve selfish ends with lies and half
truths.
Some walk away and would let this site rot. I stayed to do what
I can for my fellow citizens, but only for those whom seek to
understand. Those who respond to me negitively are not my target
audience, for their mindsets are too far gone to accept any logic
or reasoning. I impose nor deny any freedom to anyone.
I can only help those who want to be helped, in my time when
avaliable, to get a different insight thru my logic and reasoning,
by way of greater understanding of necessary measures required in
extraordinary circumstances, as consolation, for
consideration and never an agreement. I am but only a voice, and no
superior or inferior to anyone else in my society's republic.
2. You have my deepest respect if indeed you are from HFH, even
if you only one of those 'contribution on Tour' volunteers, but
only if you are indeed from there and not just a reference threw
here to impress others.
I thank you for your offer to volunteer in HFM. There are many
ways for a person to contribute to humanity annonymously,
espacially for my own society and need not impress anyone.
How I organise my time, What I do and had contributed, I need no
approbation from anyone. I sleep with a sound conscience at night,
with no expectations of appreciation from anyone as well.
3. Out of admiration to your contribution to HFM, if indeed you
are from there, I give you the fullest right to dismiss what I had
written as thrash or hogwash, for it is only your perception, and
not mine. It is a long reply because it would be churlish of me not
to reply to you. I owe you that much for belonging to HFM, for its
ideals, but not our differences which compromises on both can
bridge in time, if indeed necessary.
Best regards.
