Creativity and Politics

Yesterday, I read the news of our country, in a newspaper. Now, I have an idea to relate the political problems of our country (Burma) with creativity.

I felt sorry to read the news of my country. I’m very sad to hear that many people died in the demonstration.

The current government of my country(Myanmar) and other politicians need to solve the current problems with creative way. I think politics is a non-zero sum game. So, both can win simultaneously. Both sides should play win_win game.

To play a win_win game, both sides need to be mature. Both sides must not be selfish. Anyway, if one site deny to play win-win game, it can’t work. In the case of politics in my country, the game is just one-sided. Government wants to apply force and don’t want to negotiate with others.

So, Leaders of the opposition need to use more creative way. And all people need to think creatively. People need to think from other persepectives. If we can’t get the democracy easily right now and we can’t change the government right now, we must change ourselves. We must practice democracy in our everyday life. Then, later, we will get the government that will suit with us. We need to change our perspectives and views. We need to change our thoughts. Most of people think freedom can be given by government. But, at the situation of my country, we Burmese people need to think that we must create freedom in our mind first. (Of course, political freedom is also important.)And then later, I think we will get political freedom and democracy, because there is a rule that everyone gets just they deserve at long term. That doesn’t mean we don’t need to act political actions to against the ditactors. I just mean we need to combine political actions and following self disciplines.

Anyway, my idea may not be practical but I think that thinking from different points of views may get useful answers. By following our dream and making some efforts to modify our raw ideas must be fruitful somedays.
