Sitting in front of my computer, my mind is packed with news on Tibetan protects, now it has developed into riots and my own research project. Like many people have projected that there must be some protects or riots against Chinese government happening around the Olympic time, a couple of weeks after Bejork cheekily hummed 'free Tibet' at the end of her concert, the Tibetans started their large scale protects over human rights and cultural invasion just over one hundred days before the Olympic day. To be independent is every one's dream and life-goals, it seems. Few people would say:" I would like to rely on someone else", maybe for a short period of time one would think it before they can be independent but it is unlikely to be one's claim for ever. The reality seems to me that no one can be completely independent from another, especially one who had close relationships with, physically, mentally, materialistically. I guess politics is a very different story, it is more about what small groups of people want over the mass. Maybe the small groups of people have more visions, otherwise China would not be China today, America would not be America today, the same with Great Britain, and the world would be much more peaceful, a big maybe! Only if we have the exact same standards, the exact same executives. Even so, there is so many uncontrollable variables... There is no way one standard can make every one feel it is fair... Fairness is just poetic word that expresses human being's good willingness. Like what is said in Animal Farm, some are more equal than the others... It is such a good spirit that equality becomes to every one's attention in life, but it has been taking western societies hundred and hundred years to fight for equality, given the fact that the equality is written in most western societies' constitution.
I don't really know how to continue saying what I will say about Tibetan monks' protects... What are they really protecting about? Really about human right? cultural invasion? or really about globalization, or the erosion of the human society...
