Monday, August 6, 2007i was reading a book about Gandhi's noble struggles when i came across some quotes tt i find very interesting...as we all knew, india was in turmoil at some point of time (which i dunno when is it) there has been very bloodied conflict between the Hindus and the Muslims, which almost split the whole India into 2... he always believed in resolving conflicts using the non violent approach... whatever he do, (hunger strikes, peaceful demonstration etc) he will NOT use violence... he had engaged dialogs with Hindus n Muslims, asking both sides not to stop fighting each other, since both sides are in the same country, same race, n even same colour of blood under their skins... but... they misunderstood it as a sign of taking sides... with both sides accused Gandhi of taking sides of rival sides... (here's the interesting quote from him) Gandhi retorted back to them, saying tt "he's willing to be cut into 2 if that was what the people wanted, but not for India to be cut into 2." "Suppose someone sets fire to your home, and you retaliate by setting fire to theirs, soon, the whole town will be in flames!" (this quote is just like the meaning of -> an eye for an eye makes the world goes blind) Gandhi was eventually assassinated eventually :( he was alone, there's no one who agrees with what he do... but... " his principles and example of resolving matters through non violent approach has inspire countless activists including Martin Luther King Jr & Nelson Mandela" we have been encouraged to engage dialogs when disagreement arises... so as to prevent from methods of “以爆治爆” or... wat Gandhi says, "fire cannot extinguish fire" (pls note tt the method of “以毒攻毒” only existed in 武侠小说, N.A in reality) its being told tt the best way is to engage in dialogs, one of the ways to start engaging in a dialog will be to... SMILE :) ya... its tt simple... the only problems lies with them refusing to open their mouths... this i will agree with it... even friends sometimes do so... i mean... sometimes when u wonder why ur friend look so down... (btw, we do show our concern for our friends right?) well... ur friend jus refuse to open up right... which will make u wonder... " wat izzit tt he/she is so down?" by now... u should be able to feel tt u are playing the game... "我猜我猜我猜猜猜" Am i right? anyway... i dun understand why politicians (especially US govt) do not engage in dialogs... they merely send in their soldiers to solve problems... (they rather risk their lives than using their mouth... ) perhaps they can talk their way out from Iraq war... but they chose not to... in the end... thousands of men died for nothing... lets take an example of resolving conflict through the beautiful way... a few British soldiers are being arrested for "trespassing" the Iran waters without permission. fellow ally the US immediately offer UK the choice of providing air strikes to key Iran targets in retaliation and demanding the release of the British soldiers. The UK however, preferred to solve it through diplomatic relations... n... the results... Iran release the soldiers1 without injuring anyone... SEE!?!?! the power of speech... the power of dialogs... the beauty of... talking... :) until then... :) Labels: August 2007 series
