Judgment:
In human aspect, judgment is vital and pivotal for a judgment can change a lot of things and, create circumstances for change. Change is inevitable for we as humans live on this 3rd planet of our solar system which depends upon change. Looking from a wider view can see the full picture and looking from a narrow view will only see part of the picture. Some are saying for the people of Burma to change their habits, behavior, attitudes and so on but change is realistic only when it is done from the top. The current ruling leaders of Burma which happens to be military men does not change their stand and keep on ruling with “poor” judgment. What is the definition of “judgment”? Here is the explanation from the dictionary. Judgment means……(quote)………1 a: a formal utterance of an authoritative opinion b: an opinion so pronounced2 a: a formal decision given by a court b (1): an obligation (as a debt) created by the decree of a court (2): a certificate evidencing such a decree3 acapitalized : the final judging of humankind by God b: a divine sentence or decision; specifically : a calamity held to be sent by God4 a: the process of forming an opinion or evaluation by discerning and comparing b: an opinion or estimate so formed5 a: the capacity for judging : discernment b: the exercise of this capacity6: a proposition stating something believed or asserted (end quote)
How long did the “poor” judgment rulers rule Burma? Ask yourself. If these years are ruled by “poor” judgment then it is not surprise to see the people of Burma are poor in knowledge, attitudes, civilization, education, economy etc. The person or persons who think the people can change without the changing of the rulers from “poor” judgment rulers to “sound” judgment rulers it is kinda hard to expect real changes, better changes for the people of Burma and Burma itself. What is the meaning of “sound”? Sound means……(quote)…….1 a: free from injury or disease b: free from flaw, defect, or decay2: solid firm; also : stable3 a: free from error, fallacy, or misapprehension <sound reasoning> b: exhibiting or based on thorough knowledge and experience <sound scholarship> c: legally valid <a sound title> d: logically valid and having true premises e: agreeing with accepted views : orthodox4 a: thorough b: deep and undisturbed <a sound sleep> c: hard severe <a sound whipping>5: showing good judgment or sense <sound advice>
synonyms see healthy, valid (end quote)
The reason I am emphasizing the word “judgment” is some of the authors in this Burma forum talks about how to change Burma “peacefully”. Well, to change Burma “peacefully” it has to be done starting from the Top (rulers) to the Bottom (people) and not the other way around. Expecting the people to change and leaving the rulers intact in their “false” perception and “poor” judgment which can create consequences like unpleasant chaos for the people and the nation. As long as keeping the top intact with the continuation of their “false” perception and “poor” judgment it is naïve, stupid, idiotic and ignorant to expect the bottom to change for better.
Choosing the right or sound judgment needs “ability”. If a nation, any nation is ruled by a person who has no “ability” then it is common sense where we don’t need a rocket scientist to understand that he/she (ruler) can create chaos for that nation and the people. What are leaders for? to lead the nation and the people, isn't it? In other words, the destiny of a nation and the people depends upon the "ability" of leader/leaders who can make "sound" judgment. <br><br>Post edited by: Paradoxan, at: 2008/01/18 18:54
