Self Immolation: A Call for Integrity

Yet again the most recent two more self-immolators, a monk and lay guy, in Ngaba region in Tibet greet us this New Year with the dire ‘jolting’ message: Tibet is dying! But as a personal impact I find a true international support for Tibet issue, which has been nothing other than tossing as a diplomatic game on the sidelines of major self-interests on state level, is a sort of our own fiction fed by blind but dogged hope when the whole world seems to be going crueler and crueler in the backdoor butcher-yard of foreign policy that counts on the single core interest, what we gain not for true national wellbeing interests (ask the public first not the parliaments) but for bleaching further with corruption morale or filthy shine. Under such circumstances we have to strike more actively other than those routinely initiatives by drawing learning merits from Occupy mass movement, their mobilized dedications in such sustained way on the single grave social issue as pervasively concerned as the basic need of survival. As it’s up to us with a farsighted acting hope but not a blind inactive one, we count everything in shaping our own destiny in the first place. In essence, apart from the true hearts of world individuals and unbiased rights groups, I find nothing to rely on at all if you don’t pose as a coveted commodity. But the world mass supports do count in the ultimate sense, if we can draw it through our own integrity that really costs us even here—see how we act then, not as we talk when nothing matters like during a friendly conversation or argument.

Yes, as a personal impact, I find pleading myself with not being that cynic. But this hope for a better day counts on how we see ourselves and act thereby hand-in-hand. I say ‘We are the fated ones’.
