I am thrilled to read guardian front page reporting the release of pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi. I am sure her 15 years have been most ridiculous years of her life, however she seems to have gotten more energy to be an able leader to move forward her fight for democracy in Burma. Guardian reports her life in jail (house arrested). She suffered to the maximum. She lost her British husband who was not allowed into the country. Her children were also refused visa to Burma. She was completely cut off from the world. Limited visitors were allowed to see her with high security checks. She was not allowed internet access. She could access some mail but with highly monitored mails by the authorities. She remained behind four walls for nearly 15 years.

I think some of us would lose hope within 15 years but Suu Kyi kept on hoping against hope that one day she will lead the party which is based on democracy. She is an incredible woman of hope. I think hope personified in her. As I see Burmese situation, I think Suu Kyi will triumph after her long waiting. I am sure most people in the world will be happy at her release even though some of the Burmese fundamentalists will try to oppose it. Why is this century which claimed of human justice and equality is still in the darkness of injustice where some ethos of the powerful prevail? Do you have an answer? I don't have. But I can say one thing; this world is evolving everyday, minute, and every second. Humans have become so adamant that they consider other humans as their subjects. 

God created this world and gave all powers to the humans not to dominate but to take care of his creation so that human can be free and responisble. God's creative creation is used and abused. I am sure we all have hearts and minds that are filled with good things and we decide on good instinct  but sometimes a speck of evil in us tries to take control of us, this is the disaster of ourselves and our neighbour.

I watched the film, Darfur directed by Uwe Boll; based on the real brutal events of this innocent village Darfur. The leader of the Darfur village optimistically says that Janjaweed (Arabians) are not our enemies but they are our brothers. It is nothing to do with religion because Darfur villagers are also Muslims. It is all to do with race, black and Arabs as the leader of the village mutters as his tears roll down his cheeks. Next moment they are all killed brutally by the Arabs. The whole village is wiped out completely. Isn't a genocide? It is a genocide. I don't know why human consider others as lower to them (Race). Hitlar did the same inhuman thing in the history. 

I think we need to find God in ourselves to begin with then in others. I think unless we are convinced that God created us equal our struggle for power will prevail.
