Tolerate Or Fight ?

“သည္းခံပါ၊ေရာင္႔ရင္းတင္းတိမ္ပါ၊သစၥာရွိပါ၊နာခံပါ၊ရုိေသေလးစားပါ၊စိတ္ရွည္ပါ၊ေမတၱာေစတနာအရာတြင္စိတ္၀မ္းကြဲမႈကုိ ေရွာင္ရွားပါ။ ယင္းမွာ ၿမန္မာၿပည္သူေတြ၏ ရုိးရာထုံးတမ္းစဥ္လာ အက်င္႔ေကာင္း တခုၿဖစ္သည္။

"Tolerance, loyalty, obedience, respect, patience, love, generosity, avoidance of confrontation - all of these are known as typical attitudes exemplified by the people of Burma, which springs from their culture and traditions."

ဒီအက်င္႔ေကာင္းသည္ စစ္အဏာရွင္ေတြ၏ အႏုိင္က်င္႔မူ႔ကုိ ၾကာရွည္ ခံစားရေအာင္ အားေပးေနသည္႔ အဓိကအခ်က္ၿဖစ္သည္။ ဒီအခ်က္သည္ ပင္လွ်င္ တုိင္းၿပည္ဖြံ႔ ၿဖိဳးတုိးတက္ေစမႈ၊ လူေနမႈအဆင္႔အတန္း ၿမင္႔မားေစမူကုိ သိပ္ၿပီး ေႏွာင္႔ေႏွး သြားေအာင္ၿပဳလုပ္ေနေပသည္။

"Sadly, these good attitudes are the ones that have been delaying the country’s progress in development and economy. All have been perceived and exploited as weaknesses by the governing military junta, and has enabled and prolonged their rule."

ကြ်န္ေတာ္သည္ အခက္အခဲဒုကၡ သုကၡ အမ်ိဳးမ်ိဳးကုိ ရဲရဲ၀င္႔၀င္႔ ခံႏုိင္စြမ္းရွိသည္႔ ၿမန္မာလူမ်ဳိးအားလုံးကုိေလးစားပါသည္။ သုိ႔ေသာ္ ခံႏုိင္စြမ္းရွိသည္႔သတၱိႏွင္႔မလုံေလာက္ပါ။ မတရားမႈကုိ တုိက္ယူႏုိင္စြမ္းရွိမွသာ စံနစ္ဆုိးေအာက္မွလြတ္ေၿမာက္ႏုိင္ေပလိမ္႔မည္။ တုိင္းၿပည္ဖြံ႔ ၿဖိဳးတုိးတက္ေစမည္။”

"I have deepest respect for all the people of Burma, who continue to show tremendous courage in facing and overcoming incredible difficulties and suffering simply to survive. However, just by standing there bravely, bending your heads down to tolerate and accept whatever the bullies are doing to you, would not stop them. Tolerance is seen as submissiveness and only encourages contempt by the government and will only cause continued abuse."

"There is only one way to escape from under the systematic military terrorists occupation and to regain and develop our nation - We must all fight. "
