No one
can destroy Freedom
The
essence of culture is freedom! Culture is formed through natural course but
Freedom doesn’t mean leaning towards savage! Freedom is knowing how to restrain
to a civilized, self-control
way! Therefore culture develops richly day by day based on ancient principals
that people have gathered to elevate humanity standards!
The young
generation of Vietnamese doesn’t lack talented people, but this tyrannical
regime blocks people’s growth, people are not free to express, to speak their
thoughts, the first life lessons to survive is knowing how to lie, and of
course deception leads to thugs tricking each other, and multiplied into
monstrous heroes like “lê văn tám,” turning the country into chaos, pushing the
country to the verge of the abyss!
The
environment has had an undeniable effect to human’s development, in particular,
the cultural environment, the way of life, the way of thinking from citizens to
government officials, a judicial government must make laws based on the wish of
its citizens, from civilized cultural life to way of thinking in order to
change the society.
However,
here, the government doesn’t walk the talk, and being inconsistent, its
citizens are always in a passive and defensive mode, both citizens and the government
never conduct in a united way! The truth is that in Vietnam now, people have heard of
the Constitution, but they have no idea how it relates to their lives! A
majority of the people, when heard of laws under the Communist regime, or any dictatorial regime,
always think of the kind of brutality of the government, of the rulers who are
oppressing the citizens.
Therefore,
it is clear of the nature of a society that has and one that lacks culture, one
saves lives and one destroys lives! One elevates human values, a product of
freedom. The other one is an epic of slaves, intended to lower human values.
People
are no longer a dimension of formation of the past, present and even the
future. The natural diversity of life is the very foundation of humanity for
people to realize the truth in the continuation of you and me, will we stand
strong in the future?
The
Communist ideology and the extreme attitude of religions have a similar element
that destroys the diversity of life! Everything goes towards the destruction of
humanity with the reason: only I possess the ultimate truth.
From the
origin of the “Garden of Eden,” people were created within the correlation
according to the Creator, when one person’s rib is half of the other. Until the
theory of relativity came into life, everything within the correlation firmly
establishes the connection between people and people.
The birth
of the Communist ideology, as well as other unthinkable ideologies, pushes
people to go against the natural course, though it appears to support the human
development. It does this through what it calls re-education, a term used
thoroughly in Communist regimes for the purpose of killing, or more correctly,
revenging brutally between humans, its essence in reality was not to build a
society that saves lives but one that destroys humanity. After invading South
Vietnam, the action named gloriously by the regime as liberation of the
country, ten thousands of officials and officers, victims of war – those with
high level of education – were put into concentration camps, forced to do hard
labour, and left to die slowly in treacherous and dangerous jungles. That was
the government’s meaning of liberating people, saving a nation and its
citizens!
These
absurd ideologies are full of flaws and extremely backward, they simplified
life to an illogical way: one must die if not in the same class, a treacherous
argument that caused the burial of many people in common graves like what had
happened during the Tet Offensive in 1968 in Hue city!
People,
in the name of “a new culture”, have interfered with the natural development of
humanity, they have used culture like a political tool, and the catastrophic
result is the strip of the precious freedom component of humanity. Politics is
simply the act of governing cities as in the original meaning of that Greek
word; it is freedom that will lead to creativity in governing cities and
metropolises – an elevated world where precious freedom of the people exists, a
world that forms the world.
Every time
a new era plays out in history, which is easy to comprehend since history is
defined as “the repetition,” history lessons are learned through many
chaotic and uncivilized events, such as the birth of Communism, the absurd acts
of totalitarianism by leaders from North Africa and Middle East, all were
quickly rejected and defeated – as proved by history since the beginning of
humanity itself – by the essential freedom that every single human has upon
birth!
No one
can destroy the freedom of the people, if not
to say the destroyer will be destroyed by the very same individual freedom,
since freedom is the connection between humans, therefore anyone who destroys
the freedom that belongs to humanity would prompt their own individual freedom
to become uncontrollable like a wild animal, and it would turn around to kill
that very same tyrant!
Communism
and industrialization have transformed people into senseless animals, into
screws - one dimensional humans – to serve the purpose of production or to
become victims of deceitful propaganda when they turn culture into a servant of
political propaganda, when they force people to serve their own selfish
purpose, because it is rare to see throughout the length of history that
beneficent dynasties, a kind governmental foundation would always be the dream
of humanity!
The
predetermined patterns for humans are very wrong and full of sins like “humans
become gods, fortune is like air, government will disappear…” (1) The more
intellectuality shown, the more flowery words used to trick the people,
especially to trick oneself, considering all aspects of being humans, this
particular point is sad, “we trick to survive, to seek happiness.” The human’s
fate is like this, if then why did God create humans? In historical records, nowhere
did it said “Evil created humans” (2), but society often says “No one claims a
thief as a father,” and yet the reality in VN is where there is an official,
there is a thief!
We have
accepted many different cultures, assimilating different civilizations, but
especially with Communism, it has uprooted many mental values of a whole race
that our Ancestor had wholeheartedly built. Facing this imminent loss, in this
growing civilization – both in the good and bad means of the Internet – has
caused the fall of many generations with the conception of excessive
materialism “death is the end” therefore teachers and students lose all the
virtues. Teacher are no longer teachers and so are students. Both become a type
of “miscreants” – an obvious result of many years being forced to study under
the roof of this school of fallacies.
Freedom
cannot be destroyed, it is a natural born characteristic as long as humans
exist on this earth, through cultures, civilizations could be destroyed and the
past had buried many other civilizations, but the essence of freedom is always
the seed to resurrect cultures within the direction of a better and more
perfect future!
The
current rise of African ethnicities and Middle East
is a proof! Never and never will there be the death of Freedom, only a
temporary death of a race along with its culture while a tyrant dominates,
facing bayonets and gun barrels, humans are trodden, Ancestors’ altars are
trampled upon, but the awareness along with the indomitable Freedom spirit of
our race continues to smolderingly boil and the rise of freedom is just an
essence of time.
Nowadays,
for those who left Viet Nam
many years, they see many external changes such as highways, high rise
buildings…built by returning Vietnamese overseas. The external changes come
with a complete mental transmutation of Vietnamese nowadays, spiritual values
become strange things to young people, and in particular, the older generation
continues to lose faith, devoted worshipers who still believe deeply in religion
often visit Temple and Church, but one characteristic of religion in Vietnam is
that it teaches the people to beg rather than to pray, including “stand
straight and beg,” it is understandable because Vietnamese people are too
miserable, from war to peace, so there is no other way of living except
“obeying!”
Culture
is life itself, but Communists have destroyed our national culture, and those
who are motivated by freedom itself must renew themselves, the transmutation of
a culture always begins with members of that Congregation!

How many Communist
leaders don’t have bastard children, concubines, and who would be the first one
within the high-ranked of Communist officials to be a role model in declaring
publically their assets?
·
And with the leaders
of Freedom, Democracy, because for sure, Communism will die, therefore I ask a
heavier question of you, of all the above questions combined.
When a
national culture is completely transformed, in many possible ways, including
the proposal of a lawfully governed society, a legal system that respects
people based on the foundation of the Declaration of Universal Human Rights, in
combination with the Vietnamese Tradition of Kindness through the ideology of
what Nguyễn Trãi left for us. A basic foundation, along with the philosophy of
Leisure that philosopher Kim Định had thought out, to integrate the era with:
·
The Declaration of
Universal Human Rights of 1948 – the foundation of the Constitution!
Indeed we
don’t need to waste time to find a way, including based on the aspect of
science with new foundation innovations, we just need to adjust to the
applications and it’s enough to help the Vietnamese race to grow substantially,
moral and spiritual fundamentals will improve and material life will change
quickly within the equal-leveled, daily interactions of citizen.
·
Dear Communist leaders
of today, do not trick the citizens any longer! Let’s stop now! And also to the
leaders of the future when Communism collapses! These examples of leaders of
North Africa and Middle East, many heads had
fallen in the span of history, and many electrical chairs given to tyrants.
Using these magnanimous lines of poet Cao Bá Quát in an opposite situation: “A
swing of the sword ends a life!” for greedy officials, tyrants, for Nicolae
Ceauşescu of Romania!

A New Direction: Only
truly respects Freedom – a motivation for every development, it is the first
step to form a healthy society that leads to a government that moves towards
freedom and precious values of humanity.
