When politicians promise, people need to beware.
Most people believe that, “a man needs to help himself first, then God will help him.” Buddha preaches self-reliance, “Attahi Attano Neatho” that is Man is himself his master. No one can be his master.
For decades—thanks to the world-- Cambodian people have been receiving all kinds of aid and assistance from international community.
Let’s hope that Cambodians are no longer being the recipients and do something to become self-reliant and that soon we can become donors to the world.
Let’s hope that Cambodian government and politicians begins to inspire people to use their own power from “within” to help themselves and their nation.
What the government ought to do is to help create opportunities for the people to allow them to find decent job.
What the people need to do is to help themselves by stop depending on outsiders for their assistance. And what the politicians need to do is to encourage people to work and stop promising or providing lip services for some kinds of free assistance after certain politicians win the elections.
Let’s hope that everyone in Cambodia “thinks.”
All living things on this planet need to work for a living. If they don’t work, they don’t eat and they will die; but all natural worlds do work.
Birds, bees and all kind of animals that want to live freely have to work for a living. The rest of them like cow, pig, sheep, etc… whose life depends on being fed are either human’s slaves or used to be slaughtered.
Next time, when politicians promise, we must think. Don’t let them incite us to get something from nothing. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Past empty promises have never been materialized because we expect something from nothing.
As a human being we must take possession of our own mind. Our mind is the only thing that we can control. We have the capacity to think. Our thought is the power that can help us become free, self sufficient and self reliant.
Don’t let anyone think for you otherwise you can never become independent. We need to be the master of our fate by practicing the law of cause and effect. Think first, then take action and you will get results. Don’t wait for politicians.
When politicians promise, people need to beware.
Attahi Attano Neatho!
