Maple’s Special -22
On the way reaching to the peak of mountain, actually there’s a question kept harassing me. I wonder how the ancient people managed to launch all the building there. How they move those heavy rocks or bricks to build the temple which is 1600m above sea level, without aids of technology?
Don’t you have the same inquiry with me?
It’s really hard to believe that they only make use of man force, without any help of modern machine.
Let’s flash this back to the past, the moment when the commoner began their hard work. The buildup is all ordered by emperor. No matter how tough the project was, the commoners still obediently and loyally abided the emperor’s order. No matter how many people died for the sake of the project, the rest still carried on the project.
I guess the emperor that time was really authoritative and commanding. Due to his autocratic ruling system, no matter how tough the work is, nobody dares to rebel.
Compare to the past, the ruling system nowadays portrays a big contrast.
There is no more emperor autocratic system, but a democratic political system. There is no more emperor, no more bias, but equality. Everybody is equal, has the equal right. And every resident is free to elect the representatives who they feel they can entrust on. And every resident has the chance to be leader to play a part in developing the country.
Nowadays, we dare to speak up our mind. There’s no more restriction as we have the freedom to express our opinion. If we’re not satisfied with the system implemented, we can complain. But in the past, the commoner don’t have the chance. If they do not comply with the order of emperor, they will get killed. That’s why they don’t dare to speak their mind up; they can only silently tolerate the order.
I feel a sense of lucky when I think of this. Feel fortunate for being borne in this new era, have the freedom to do everything that I want. Do not need to bury our mind deep in heart, do not need to tolerate the injustice.
Do you think so?
