Sikyong: I, not You


Ever heard about such mode of casuistry? It's about sort of collective karma that we like to mouth and lip-hallow. For the ongoing staged campaigns by the five self-declared candidates for Sikyong 2016 and from the footage, thanks for Internet and our mass media portals, I have learned about it. One of the candidates did almost brazenly say that it could be the collective such destiny of the Tibetan for electing him who can be destined to lead us to the same appeased victory. Yeah, it's okay. He can say so or make such ambiguous remark, if he is that thick-skinned. But he didn't stop there. He was too obsessed with self-illusion not to reveal his parochial stand that the other, one of the five, as sort of collective ill-fate, if the majority supports him or if he wins by it. His own self-importance and depicting the other, one from Tibet who had been political prisoner, as down of our collective well-being are too much for me to digest or ignore. Does Free Speech support groundless defamation by cleverly playing with such abstract notion?
