there are hatre until you see the good side of it, many peoples get
hated and hate something or someone for the wrong reason
because they fail to see the reason behind it, once enlighted,
forgiveness will set in, and sometime, forgiveness may come too
late.
Today, most people will hate LKY, yes, perhap in his early young
days of struggle, he may offended alots of people, but that a part
of struggle, who dare and who is stronger wins. Thereafter, he is
not like other leaders, who after wining went on and corrupt the
whole country bringing it into chao and total corruption. He
worked hard for the best of Singapore, he knews the social laws of
that the peoples must be satisfied before power can be attained,
rather than most leader who go into reverse order, grabbing power
first and then see what can be done but hardly get it done.
As no one last forever, one day, LKY will have to go, and
somebody have to take over, and if because of that person who took
over lack the foresight and capability that turns our country into
Chaotic, at that very moment, peoples of Singapore would had
completely forgave LKY and wanted very much of the days he
ruled.
I don't begin hating everybody until I see the good side of
them. in fact, I used to love everybody until they show the ugly
side, sometimes that is a little naive, to think of it.
My be we have diff definition of the word hatred.
to me, I don't hate anybody until they do something very bad to
me, or the people I love, intentionally. There are other feelings,
detest, dislike, ....that describe my disagreement to the actions,
the appearance, ....but hatred is very strong and very
personal.
funny you write 2 long para on LKY. I don't hate LKY, I disagree
with many of his policies, but I don't hate him, and there is
nothing there for me to forgive him.
