Our King

Yesterday, I have just read an article which is very beautiful and so powerful that could make me almost cry. The article is surely about the King of Thailand and was sent to my e-mail by someone that I don’t know, may be they found my e-mail address on the web site.

I refused to open it at first because I thought it could be a spam, but it says, Have you ever known that the king cries everyday?, so I clicked in and read this, all Thais get used to be the receivers for many years, we get whatever we need from someone that always be the giver for all his life. And we get used to it until we seem to forget what we should give back for him.

We wear a yellow shirt, wristbands; thousands of people were waiting outside AnanTha Samakhom palace just to see the King’s face for a few second, while the whole world seem to lose believe in the monarchy. We as a very very small country have shown them that we still have faith in him, in our king! And the King is the most beloved for all Thais.

Almost twelve year past by that the king has been suffer from heart disease… We still remember the picture of him one of his hands hold on to his chest, another hand holding a Bangkok map because Bangkok area were affected by flood. About thirty-four years ago 16 October 1973, the very first time in the present reign that we face a very big politic crisis, the student and all Thai citizens were striking and marching face to face with the government at that time, some of them were shoot by the soldiers that work for government, the student started to set the fire over the public place, the event were getting really bad, Thais had killed Thais. And when the king announced his words Thais can not killed Thais… everything need to be tranquillized suddenly. Then everything stop and we live happily after that.

Is that possible for a person who has power over the nation? One thing I should say, it’s not just only the power, his majesty is the soul of the nation. So it’s time for us to do good things, not just to show the foreigners how much we appreciated him, but do good things to help our king. He’s old and needs to be taking care of , his happiness is when we have the unity, the temperance and a right mind. So I found the answer, if we love our king then we should love our country.

Wow I almost cry again when I translate this into English, I’m really bad at translating but still, I want everyone to know more about this even the person who is not Thai. I want them to know beyond any doubt why Thais appreciated in the King. Even though this is just a little part but I’m sure I already did some good thing!! =^^= Thank you for reading this it’s not really a journal but it’s a thing that I just want to tell everyone.
