There has been reports on new wave of sectarian unrest in Myanmar. This news is not unusual to the people living in Myanmar.
So what's going on in Myanmar?
Fight. Unrest. Violence. All started by difference in religious practices.
There fighting between the Muslims and Buddhists has been for quite a while. Just when you think it is over, another scene broke out.
Just what went wrong?
I wish I know what went wrong but there were many rumors circulating around. All I could say is the Intolerance and lack of Unity among devotees of two religions in Myanmar.
I wouldn't dare blame anyone or make judgement on who is right and who is wrong. Because, it wouldn't be fair for both sides.
Knowing my fellow countrymen's character and their "A hti ma kan Shwe Pa Gan" or untouchable gold plate (literally) attitude, it will be hard to bring the situation under control and settle the things in amicable manner. But Keep Trying U Thein Sein (President) and Government. I believe you can do it.
So let's get back to topic.
Our country seriously lacking in Unity. Religious intolerance is becoming a norm in the country. To stir up, people taking advantage (in a bad way) of Internet to spread false rumor, be it true or false.
As a results, things turn BLOODY! WAY BLOODY THAN ANYONE CAN IMAGINE.
My point here is hey, We may be Buddhists, we may be Muslims. We may be followers of any other religions. But, we are ONE people. We are one country. We are a part of Myanmar. We stay in Myanmar, we drink the water provided by her, we eat the food that grown here. We live in ONE MYANMAR! We speak the same language.
So why are we so divided? Is there a need to be divided because of difference faiths?
I really hope that everyone will learn to live in harmony, regardless of race or religion.
The road to harmony is long, but, I know that the day will come. One day... til then, stay strong Myanmar, stay united fellow countrymen, regardless of who you are.
Because if we don't stay united, who else will?
Signing Off.
