Fear and Revolution

Fear is an instinct valuable for survival. We are born with fear built within us, but humans are the only beings routinely learn to override instincts. So we can learn to overcome fear for higher values such as freedom, dignity, liberty, independence, and patriotism. A life perpetually lived in fear is not much of a life because it robs us of dignity; it takes away our self-esteem; it confers the tyrant's undeserving power over us; it validates the tyrant's control over us; and it confirms we are no better than slaves. 

It's time to rise up and assert our worth and demand our place in the sun. Time spent in fear and darkness was long past. It's time to bring the tyrants and dictators down. They are no better than us. They have used fear as a weapon to rule us. Once we show we have no fear---even the ultimate fear of death since everybody dies and everybody only dies once--- the tyrants and dictators cannot keep us down because there are more of us than of them. Strength is in the number. When the people are united and stand shoulder to shoulder and demand freedom, fairness, and dignity restored, the tyrants and dictators all will be swept away by the wave of the will of the people. 

True men only die once. Cowards die time and time again. Cowards are no different from animals. They have no sense of shame nor of dignity. All they want is to prolong their useless, meaningless, and undignified lives.

The time for the revolution is now. 

Long live Vietnam!

Long live the Vietnamese people!
