Aesthetic of Freedom

THE first moment I see advertisement for this literature talk show, I can't stop my mind to attend the show as leading speaker is one of my admired artist from Myanmar. I used to familiar with him through famous radio program of BBC. I never seen him before but I can sense his wisdom. He aired through BBC program to share his knowledge to younger generation. His topic are very wide range. But all of them able to think me of worth to listen. He is artist, director, musician and came from a artist family background. Unfortunately, he became exile to our outgoing Junta. He recently came back to mother land from US following ease of blacklist by newly civilian government. I just simply cannot understand why our old government think of his as their enemy. It is much lose to our nation. He was once a principal to Myanmar's famous artistic school in upper Burmese. The advertisement pasted my eyes to happy understanding he is finally come to lion city in person to share his definition of freedom.

Look beautiful title of upcoming literature talk show. I am sure this title come by his initiative. The other speakers are also well known student leaders from 88 generation. One of them is quite well known back home land. Also first time opportunity to see him in person. I don't see expensive to attend the show. I am always disappointing to learn that some of my friends see this S$15/20 per head expensive. We should not value their life-time experience through wisdom lens. I think most of those who said expensive will happily buy S$50 adult for copycat Myanmar heavy rock band. I try to persuade them what should be valued and what should not be valued in life. Some claimed that they can watch online free after literature talk show almost instantly. I ask them to imagine if everybody think that way, there would be no organizer to make such show happen in lion city. If no organizer, we have no chance to listen such remarkable person's knowledge sharing. In fact, literature talk show is one of our custom that we should appreciate. In other countries in the region, they have no such thing to share knowledge within their society. What a grand society is it to show that we are such people that come from knowledge emphasis society. By this way, we can pull back our country's hidden profile amid international communities. 

Please support the literature talk show by buying a ticket. By doing so, at least you are doing your obligation to keep alive such good initiative. Because knowledge is only the way that can narrow the gap between first and third world countries. Hope you agree with me.
