Divided country

Hi there,

I don't know what is happening in Thailand and with Thai people. How can my country be divided like this? Is it because that we are uneducated and easily be influented?

When I was a little girl, Thailand was such a lovely country. Although Thailand still is, Thai people have changed lot last 10 years. We are more materialistic. We respect people by how much he earns, not by how good he is. The richer you are, the more your words will be listened. Rich person is good person. We want more money but don't want to work hard. We don't care how to get money as long as we can get it. One who works hard but earn little is judged as silly person. One who follows the rule is judged as non-flexible.

When we see money as god but lazy to work hard, it's easy to buy us. Whoever gives us money, he is nice to us. We don't think a person who teaches us how to fish is as good as a person who hand us fish. Why? We are lazy we want thing instantly.

This allowed smart guy with no morality became priminister of Thailand easily.

We are told that democratic system is the best and civilized which I have nothing to against that. It is just matter of "are we ready?", "Do we really understand what democracy means?" or "Do we know power of our own vote, not just we can earn from that?". Democracy does not only happen on the election day. Also, we cannot just claim that who get the most vote is a good guy without considering how he gets those vote.

How one of our former priminister who now is a fugitive could say "I have to do what 19 millions people want becasue they vote for me" What? Yes you were voted by 19 million, no matter why they voted for you, but you were PM of Thailand and have to listen to >60 millions Thai people.

How he could say that "Any province that vote for my party will get budget allocated" before the election of his 2nd term. He bought votes directly and indirectly. He wouldn't win the election otherwise. And he calls himself "Democracy protector"?

Don't get me wrong that support other system than democracy. I am just sick and tired with a guy who keeps shouting that Thailand loses democracy when we kicked him out. He was kicked out because he robbed his own country.

Pity most of his supporters are naive and uneducated so they don't know that the fugitive does everything to get his money and power back. Some of them get paid to join the demonstration. They plan to fire their own country. Where they think they will live after Thailand completely destroyed. Dubai with the fugitive?

Hope I will wake up and find this is just a bad dream.

Take care xxx
