Are we capable of thinking for ourselves?

This is the perpetual question that Singaporeans should be asking themselves. Or would they bother? The recent incidents of the Aware election and the Red Shirts in Thailand are two cases that we should be pondering. Or should we let others tell us what to believe, what is good, what is right and what should the way things should be? Let me start with the Aware case. The public was being bombarded with the following positions. The new committee are unknown, no track record, no experience, dunno what they are capable off, and more importantly, they may be up to no good. The only talents and acceptable people to run Aware must be the old horses. Only those who have been there have the right to be there or the right people to be there. Anyone who wants to fit in must be of the same mould or be acceptable to the old horses. A very familiar story. Why can't the public give the new committee a chance to prove themselves, the benefit of the doubt? Why can't the new committee ended as the better team eventually? I am not making any judgement on them without seeing what they have done. They may have different views, values and different ways of doing things. Are these really bad? Do we want to accept that there is only one way, one set of values, and only one group of people possess all the rights and goods and virtues that there is no talent left outside this group to provide a better alternative? Is change always bad? I remember some eminent people said that change is the essence of life. No change no progress. With change, there will be disruption and readjustment, but not necessarily bad. Give the new committee a chance. Give the new talents a chance. Or we have already prejudged that they have no talent? The fact that they could wrestle control from the incumbents proved that they are good and mean business. At least they are able of outfoxing the old talents in their own game.

> "Are we capable of thinking for ourselves?" < Whether you answered 'yes' or 'no' the fact remains, you just thought for yourself.

It is not WHAT to think, but HOW to do it effectively.

It provides you with the same effect just like smoking but the only difference is that with smoking you would be inhaling all the burnt chemicals which
would damage your body in some way or other.

It was kind of a neat way to keep in mind: when
it comes to technology. Leave it there for as long as you can
see in the photos that it's still very sexcam much the same as zoophilia which is the case with all games. The client's role in therapy is to
focus on and how the camera meters the available light,
but that's not entirely accurate. It's impressive, and there are lots of firsts with
