THE CRYING GAME ENDS IN CRYING SHAME

Posted by Unknown On Tuesday, May 12, 2009 2 comments
As an anime fan :), I enjoy watching beautiful clips such as this one, apart from continuously appreciating the anime movies of Hayao Miyazaki (I have the complete collection of his movies including Grave of the Fireflies, Howl's Moving Castle,Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Nausica etc. and his son's Tales from Earthsea).


I am posting the following video Draw With Me, produced by Mike Inel from Philippines featuring the music of Ai Otsuka for a specific reason in relation to the madness that we can see in Perak. Think metaphorically when you watch the clip and you will begin to see the underlying meaning that I am trying to convey.

Personally, I have reached a point when I am nauseated to the core of my being and am both aghast and appalled that such a series of events has led once again to an impasse. What a crying shame that the sudden euphoria from the court judgement yesterday is more than short-lived in this game that leaves all parties crying in shame, anger and indignation. Think of those who have been hurt just because of those monsters with malevolent schemes, monsters with absolutely no conscience or respect for anything or anyone.

I can almost hear the donkeys braying "Hee-Haw Hee-Haw" (pun intended) in this see-saw of comic tragedy which has led to people moving out, moving in, moving out repeatedly in a drama played out at the Perak State Secretariat in the full presence of the FRU for all the world to see.

When I see the series of events unfolding before my eyes, I am not surprised at all that in many parts of society today, there are so many people in many segments of society who are ruthless in the way they relate to/treat people, how they are relentless in achieving their aims and how they have forgotten how to be kind, how they know not how to receive and reciprocate in kindness and love. I do not know what sort of society we have today. It is so difficult to be human and to reach out to others when the leaders themselves are setting such a bad example of how the name of the game is vendetta and intrigue. It is so easy to be swept away by this madness and to be part of this circus of monkeys with their conniving tricks - all in the name of the pursuit of their own selfish ambitions!!

I am in such a rage that tonight I am going bowling and I am going to imagine that the pins are the heads of ************************************. Grrrrrr! Sorry - that is just a cathartic outburst of madness...*sigh*

This video is about a girl and a boy who are separated by a glass wall and they try to the best of their ability to break the wall.

Each time they succeed, the wall grows and mends by itself.

In the end, the girl(who is right-handed) chops off her own left hand hand and gives it to the boy(who is left-handed). She was ready to make the sacrifice and both were hurt without ever realizing that all they had to do was to REMOVE the wall...the same way all they need to do is to DISSOLVE the state assembly...But alas, life is not so simple.

So many people have been hurt, are hurting just as the girl had to suffer..and both of them missed the chance for happiness just as the people of Perak missed the grand chance to develop because of a few unscrupulous characters bent on achieving their diabolical aims.

Please watch this clip, appreciate the beautiful artwork, music and depth of meaning....Have a nice day!

    shinelight Hi Masterwordsmith

    Political turmoil in Malaysia over the past many months interest everyone of us here in Singapore. It is in our interest that stability comes back to Malaysia.

    Things are moving on well for Indonesia under SBY and we are hearing less news that put Indonesia in a bad light these days. As matter of fact, Indonesia has intention to submit a bid to host the soccer World Cup in 2022. This goes on to show how much they have move away from internal conflicts and are embracing the world with hope of a better future.

    In Singapore, we get to hear from time to time not so nice things about Malaysian politics. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to sense that there was a bigger scheme at play that lead to the MPs jumping across parties in Perak. All I can say is that the common man cannot be duped. People see all these and will make their voice heard in the next general election.

    I am confident that we will witness history in the making in the next election. As for now, the people have to remain patience and continue striving through legal means. For the oppositions, the challenge is to uphold high morals and integrity in the eyes of the people because noble struggle for the cause of the masses will prevail in the end regardless what little means they have in their disposal.

    MERDEKA!^^

    Unknown Hi Shinelight,

    Thanks so much for sharing your insightful views of the situation in your neighbouring countries.

    Basically, I believe Indonesia has gone through fire and many realize the need for consolidation, politically, socially and even economically. Once the demonwas exorcised, the nation of Indonesia could surge forward to attain their aims.

    I wish I could be as optimistic as you with regards to the next election. Many also share the same sentiment but alas, I fear the hope is a means to displace their fears. It is not such as easy task to dislodge a ruling power, not if they are using all kinds of supersonic glue to ensure their longevity, totally relentless in their pursuit to unravel the elixir of youth in politics :-).

    Indeed you are spot on with regards to integrity and high morals. At the rate things are moving, I seriously worry about the sociological impact of this debacle on the value system and moral fabric of the nation.

    No matter how noble the cause, the cost can be too high...especially for the masses.

    *sigh*

    You and your fellow countrymen are very blessed, Shinelight. I am very sure the govt and citizens are so glad and relieved that they are not part of my country :-).

    Take care and God bless you.
