18 July 2012: More explanation and clarification
I am not anti-business. I am not anti-capitalist. I am not a communist, but I do not mind being called a communist-sympathizer based on my raw emotion. At the same time, I never forgot the history of this region of the earth and the grave consequences of hollow and myopic idealism being carried forward. I started to see the breakdown of traditional left-right dualism in essense and how great efforts are spent to maintain such single-spectrum frame of mind. I do not see Chinese nationals and government as communists, but I kept it to myself. I am sick of having to explain how I look at things to avoid constantly being misunderstood. I am also hesitant to point out to anyone that Taiwan was run essentially as a socialist state compared to Hong Kong, Singapore, not to mention the U.S.. I witnessed first hand the level and means of competition from my childhood to this moment. I do not look at here as a microcosm of U.S. style capitalism. Every nation has its own spectrum and the way lives and powers are aligned. I cannot bring a foreign issue to here and expect any repercussion as progress. However, if I concern only with my own self-interest, I will become as apolitical as possible to avoid being a target without knowing why that was. I never forget that many people still long for the days of totalitarian control, and that many people have deep craving to absolute power as to satisfy their insatiable appetite for sadistic control over others. I am slow-witted, but not so stupid that I would name names. They worship power of fear as deity, and have lost decency and humanity long, long time ago. This is not a criticism, but to clarify many of my seemedly unfounded fear. No one attempts to tilt the windmill until there is no other choice. By then, it is too late. People who had given up their dream will attemp to discourage yours, but to remind a person the implication of their dream, I wish, is different. I like wealth. I like power. I like finer things in life. However, my main motivation now cannot be clearer. I never, ever will lose control to my own life, emotion and well-being to anyone else. I will never be this incompetent as not being able to stop others from hurting my family and I. I will never allow anyone to even attempt to harm my family and I, and I must have the means to prevent such. I believe I can distinguish constructive criticism from blatant assaults, and I will know how to react to both. I never underestimated people, thus have never intentionally slighted anyone, unless I am under threat (that would not be a slight, but act of self-defense in panic). If I am lucky enough to survive the immediate and present crises, I will always remember despair and people who had driven me to it. I find the word philanthrophy repulsive. If I want reputation and have the means, hire a P.R. consultant. If I am a man who practice what he preaches, P.R. has limited effects. I would build shelters for anyone who cannot find protection from external and lethal threats, regardless the common perception. The rest has been an ongoing project developing in my mind. I cannot trust anyone to pervert my words and twist my intentions for personal gain. People have stolen more than enough from me. Eventually I will address this head-on.
