Posted by Maung H. Paw We as an underdeveloped Nation must embrace and choose lawful and peaceful exchange of ideas and civil disagreement over threat, vengeance, force, subversion and chaos. Until and unless we can channel our energy to the peaceful and democratic means this nation cannot stand tall among the family of Nations. We all must unite and rally around one flag through reconciliation for the love of this Nation. We must commit to this common cause, in building a dream Nation, we love. Our leaders should stop harbouring hatred, anger and vengeance. Power sharing in phases may be the way to go and to do that we cannot be greedy by holding on to the selfish attitude like: to grab all or nothing. Build the spirit of cooperation and reconciliation; together we can build a great Nation. We could unite and resolute in opposing the thread of separation and division because this nation could be great again. This is a good cause, let our compassion, love of the nation, lead us the way to civil disagreement, consent and dissent, and to greater freedom and democracy. This auspicious nation of Myanmar could emerge once again in the dawn of this new millennium. I could see this Myanmar Nation with its innocent people allowed to live their own lives, by their own customs, under their own faith. And each and every one of us must have avenues for the peaceful expression of opinion and dissent. We shall never close these avenues because when this is closed, the temptation to speak through violence grows. Let us come out of the shadow, and let us go forward, confident, determined and unafraid. Maung H. Paw

Dear Friends:
These commitments -- hope and order, law and life -- unite people across ethnicity and cultures. Upon these commitments depend all peace and progress. For these commitments we must be determined and resolute to implementation. It is the responsibility of each and every one of Myanmars, young and old, strong and weak, majority and minority, inside and outside. Get rid of hatreds, anger and vengeance and build love and compassion for the sake of development and progress of the Nation.
We must press on with our agenda for peace and prosperity in our Myanmar Nation. We each and every one must pledge to promote trade domestic and abroad, to investing in education and combating AIDS and other infectious diseases. We have no other choice if we are committed and resolved to build Myanmar to become a Great Nation. We all have been given a chance to write the story of Myanmar Nation: A story of courage, tolerance, compassion, love and light over the darkness of hatred and vengeance.
Best Regards and Metta
