politics and voice

Now I'm heard some people in my country are sick to endure new government. I have no idea how many they are. Actually, almost all the voters chose new president and his government just several months ago. And most of newspapers and TV channels never say something is wrong. But, as I wrote now, much more people than the number of con voters of current government are disappointed and angry day by day.

They voted not for invisible value but for money. Unfortunately, however, that expectation was originally illusion even though they hope to deny. Do you know why? Because they expected not for better economy but for "money." You know what I mean? Yes, they just wanted and want blind money without sweat through real estatement. They don't care where real national economy will go to. That is the value system of rich people in my country. They became rich through that way.

The problem is not only that. The real problem is that the poeple who are "not" rich began to dream and expose their desire to be rich. Why it is wrong? Yes, the desire is not wrong. But, it is actually impossible for them to be rich because of unfair system. One very strong reason out of many is that they will not be allowed to stand at the starting line of game with already-rich people. That is, this society is already fixed to an unfair and imbalanced model.

So it is just a delusion as well as illusion. In other words, it is too late.

Going back to the first topic, my people made their own decision seeking great dream. Therefore absolutely responsibility of result must be theirs. Still, most of people believe new government will bring back old foam to the price of their apartment and land soon. That's it. They don't think about how healthy economy will bring healthy and steady "money" to them. So, they chose this government. So, it's nobody's fault. It's their own bloody fault.

Perhaps there is a kind of resistance to overcome or recover this disaster somewhere in my society. I hope so. But I really wonder people might make good decision on the next elections in honest. Becuase they chose this regime even though they know which is wrong and right. Surprisingly.

Food for god, god for food

I visited one of the oldest and popular shrine in Taiwan. Wan-nien Dian萬年殿 is located in southern end of Tainan city and almost country side even though formally included in city area.

A large and well-arranged park is company with this old shrine. The impressive and huge size of gate is established in front of the park after many millions of donation from believers nearby here. Several famous masters of traditional art joined building and renovating it and there names were carved on the big monument in the park.

Some carpenters were repairing an ancient ship in the left room of the shrine when I visited. They said that it was brought from China more than 300 hundred years ago by their ancestors.

From 萬年殿

There are two ships in the left and right rooms side of front and it is the turn of left ship this year. Regarding the legend of Taiwanese aborigine, probably ships are being remembered as a sort of special motif in Taiwan relating to their origin.

I also found a bundle of reed (?) and two buckets of water. According to an old man watching the ship with me, he was one of the staff of the shrine organization, those reed and water is regularly offered to sacred horse everyday which carrying gods. They said they have changed those everyday as new.

From 萬年殿

There is only one church just nearby that shrine while more than one hundred of folk religion temples, shrines, and personal alters. I'm not a evangelist and don't like aggressive evangelism today. But I felt deep sympathy there in honest as I did either to Taiwan as well.

I respect local people and their faiths. I understand their history and culture. But I don't understand why Taiwanese Christians today are rushing to observe and learn Korean church instead of studying those area and people of their own. More and more pastors are becoming authoritative as Korean pastors and desire to resemble the strategy of facial "success" among some Korean churches, that is, number of congregation. And more and more they don't concern about local culture in the name of pure "gospel."

At the same time, local people suffering hunger and thirsty of spiritual truth day by day. They don't have a chance to meet and think about "gospel" in tangible way. Our God is ready to feed people, but we are not ready to be fed. They are feeding even vehicle of their gods. Do you know why? It's because they feel comfortable in spiritual sense that they can mentally afford to prepare and offer food for their god and god's horse. I think Taiwanese Christians are not ready. They don't know what exactly gospel is.

I'm exhausted

Well, I wonder it's because of virus actually. It might be a kind of bug of blogger to fix either. Anyway, I hope I can upload this post now. I've failed so many times during last several days. Of course, I don't know why.

Once more. I found a virus named SecurityRisk.Cmdow according to Norton Internet Security. It detects this at every scan. But It also says it cannot remove the virus. I really have no idea what kind of solution they provides. They prepare a page of so called "solution" on internet how to "remove" it, but it never works. Not only this time. I've met many cases like this.

I'll never extend this XXXX software after expiry date after 75 days from today.

Well, so, in result, I re-installed whole my XP as well as all necessary softwares. And exhausted.
