Effort brings us success

Thursday, June 28, 2012

The Buddha repeatedly addressed that "effort bring us success". With this penetrative phrase, the residents of Beoung Kok and their children are praised by their dedication and commitment to seek justice. Justice cannot be offered without effort. There is a contemporary manipulation of this justice effort: the original effort for the decent living and fairly treatment from the municipality to those land eviction victims are still a key mission statement. While the powerful join hand to hand with the rich to use the court as their tool, this previous trial and this releasing is non-sense and it is called by the world that "travesty of justice". Let not to forget your plate and your original land!!
