2. When we were too busy to care where our lives were heading, now we are locked down by law or fear in our very homes.
3. When our friends were beaten up and threatened in the streets of Hong Kong, we stood aside and shook our heads at their brazen protests. Now their turmoil is strangely passed on to the world: as the China mystery virus whispers from the Forbidden City gates.
4. When we shouted against the injustice of our government but condoned the greater cruelties of another foreign government, how can our hypocrisy not be repaid? See who is ruling over us now.
5. When we closed one eye on an old leader who insulted any nation he disliked, now we are trying to mend broken bridges with our former foes. Should they trust us now?
6. When we celebrated our democratic change of government but forgot our core ideals, why be surprised when the opposition quietly brokered hidden deals to kick out the incumbent?
7. When we accept and digest every lie and myth of the new emerging empire soon to fall into the trap that has been awaiting us.
8. When we demand proof and logic to rationalise the human heart, trusting in the good of mankind, why cant we imagine it takes only 1% of people to destroy humanity with their evil schemes.
9. So now that our currency and paper wealth has crashed with a future as bleak as an empty street, have we learnt our lessons well ?
10. When the cities are besieged by the silence of fear and the news channels are filled with nothing but sad statistics and lies.
The only recourse is to walk alone to the mountains and be refreshed by the silent beauty of nature.
