I'm angry. I'm very angry
I’m angry. I’m very angry. I’m very angry at our old generation who does not save us anything, left us burning country with no industry, no infrastructure, and no economy.
What we collect from our old generation? Two separate countries inside this tiny piece of land, bullshit stock market, banking system run by one person or two, centuries old rail road system, no roads, trade unions and May Day. What I’m going to do with that? Those are not good raw materials for develop something useful.
What they thought us? Did they teach us how to be a good workers? How to be an inventors? How to be open minded? How to be an entrepreneurs? How to be a good citizens? No! They taught us how to organize trade unions – how to demand – how not to work - how to burn down government property – how to destroy infrastructure – how to rebel – how to destroy our own boss. Now what are we going to do with these Labor unions and bunch of unless workers and idiotic university graduates?
What happened to industrial revolution? Why our old generation didn’t did their part in the history. Are they happy about industries they have destroyed? Are they happy about the war they started? Are they happy they left us with no places to work – no infrastructure to manufacture?
Now we have to smuggle ourselves in to Korea, Malaysia, Singapore.. Or wait outside embassies, under burning sun, hoping we can get out of the country. We do anything for get out of here. We risk our life – we give up people dear to us – we cheat – we lie – we sacrifice our soul.
I’m mad. I’m mad because we are - current generation - didn’t do anything to change that. I’m mad because we are bunch of useless idiots too. We are the same. We skip the digital revolution just like how our old generation skips the industrial revolution. We divide the country in to two. We are proud of our Labor Unions just like our old generation. Centuries after India completed rail road system we still scratch our head. I’m mad because one day our young generation will look back to us & think we didn’t save anything for them except the tragic misery they have to live in.

Getting depressed about the current situation ain't gonna help any of us. It all about finding ways and means to creep through the barriers and make it for yourself. Stop blaming em ol scoundrels who keep screwing up the country, forget about em, It's time to look for new resources to depend on, other than the government and their stupid taxes and policies :)

What you say is very true, but I agree with gobblezygook... Now that we have realized how little we have left to work with, let's tuck in our chins and get to work rather than sit around taking the older generations as examples or complaining about what we don't have.
It's up to US TO BE THE CHANGE WE WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD as Mahatma Gandhi said.
I can totally understand your feelings. You make some good points but I think they will e expressed much better and clearer if you paid a little more attention to your grammer. Just a freindly advice. Didn't mean to nit pick.
Hey Niroshan.. thank you for advice. Always appreciated and taken in good sprit. Yes. I’m very bad at grammar :-)
You've probably read this ; http://onesidedview.blogspot.com/2006/06/have-you-seen-email-called-wake-up-to.html but people think i'm selfish when i'm only just a bit cheesed off with current situations. In fact sometimes i sit and think something can not be fixed. But then i see online and out on the streets there are lots of youth helping out. And who knows things might get better sooner than we think. Lets stay away from junk food. Live long enough to fix this crap. Let those old geezers die of anything they can..
i can understand that you feel frustrated etc.
but is it that bad? imo no
we should not expect so much from the government. it is stupid and cannot really do anything . we should depend on ourselves. then things do brighten up. i am not going to wait outside embassies .
so true...a selfish old generation left a lost young generation!
Keshi.
i would say selfish old generation and pathetic political directions
but still as a nation why we don't think abt exporting something to bring down some $$$ to drop exchange rate
