The Tibetan Issue.
I always think that there is two side to every story. But that does not mean that both sides are equally right or wrong. We have to choose a side to take on. However, which ever side that we choose, we have to make sure that we are well-equipt with knowledge to make sure that we're making the right judgments. Don't just make a decision based on what we hear or read. Make sure that we know inside out on the issue that we're fighting about.
All sides will have their own story to tell. Whether it is to deceive others into believing their story or to get empathy from the public, it is essential that we do enough research to make sure that we are not easily deceived by facts that are thrown around to get people's attention.
I'm not saying that the Chinese are totally wrong in not liberating the Tibetans. And that the international public shouldn't put China in the "bad guys" box. But sometimes.. there are more things that meets the eye. If we're not there to experience it ourselves, how can we say anything? How do we truly know how the Tibetans are really feeling if we're not there ourselves?
That's not to say that the Chinese doesn't have any human rights violation or that they're not ill treating the Tibetans but..
Life is complicated. I just hope that both countries, does not matter which side wins, will get along peaceful and harmoniously. With its people able to achieve happiness in life.
