When political fires fume ambitions, man will does its best to find out the reasons to believe which party is the better choice for the future. The first to take the impact is its related organisation that deals with most of the people and associates with influences that rein across the small acres of land. When changes surface, and when stagnant waters turn into tide, a new revolution will come. Likewise to the possibilities of financial wildfire, where the currency that holds multiple lands together will soon create a turbulance to the entire living spaces.
If there is one being that affects the world, that will be man. If there is one reason that holds people back, that will be insecurity. If there is one interest that create chaos, that will be monetary influence. While people makes the best to live, changes are bound to live beyond traditions, and values can sway underneath perceptions.
What is all left is one's principle to live, to perform and to show that his or her living meaningful. No one can belittle you except yourself. But the environment can change the person drastically if unnoticed. Beware, behold and not let influences, perceptions and monetary greed shakes your mind and feelings till you have lost yourself without you knowing.
Strife out beyond the adversity and conspiracy. The times where commercialisation will soon lose its stand and man will find another measure to weigh its worth and move mountains.

China needs time for change
(in response to "Games face just a mask?" p. A2, The Straits Times)
Why hurry for changes, when China already took a huge sacrifice for the Olympics 2008?
The Bejing Olympics 2008 has left us with spectacular hosting, fireworks, performances and preparations that will be remembered in history. It is their first time after a long time waiting, and they made it brilliant and "truely exceptional." Of course, their efforts came with a price. Apart from the extraordinary costs of displaying what they are capable of doing for the Olympics, security issues, compensations for polluting factories and power plants on the outskirts of Beijing, and five provinces who had suspended their operations without satisfactory explanations are current issues that China has to face after the games. If we were to evaluate whether the Olympics have changed China, it is too early too comment. They are not "tough questions" in my opinion, we just need more time to anticipate the changes in China. Is it going to be the same for China in its transformation to become a "polite and gracious" country?
Evidently, China has to balance the "socio-econmic forces that the Games bring" and find the right solutions to consolidate their political grounds and tackle their air pollution problems; and I do not wish to comment on that at the moment. However, if we are concerned that all of these joyeous moments, Olympic limelights and "occasional rains" were a face behind a mask for China, I thought it was a bit too harsh to bear for the Chinese. They deserve more credit on what they have done for us, and fulfill their promise for hosting the Olympics remarkably.
Thus, let us embrace their courage and significant exhibitions that will keep in our minds for a long time. I hope that China will continue to give us more surprises to come outside of the Olympics.
