An insight into self-immolation

2015-12-03

When the "Beauty of Tibet" painting exhibition sponsored by China Tibet Online, China's largest website on Tibet-related information and the Shanghai Overseas Chinese Foundation began its tour in Germany last Wednesday, the German politicians and public were thrilled, saying that they desire to visit Tibet in person to find truth.

To find truth about what?

The distorted reports of Western media and one-sided rumors of the Dalai Lama and his followers about Tibet!

In recent years, the Tibetan separatists has turned to explosion plots to create the atmosphere of terror, hoping to stir social unrest and cause panic among public.

However, when they realized their schemes were conducted in vain, they began resorting to the inhuman means of self-immolating.

Here, I'd like to share my view on this extreme and terrorist activity of self-immolation.

The first is that the sacrifice of these self-immolators is worthless indeed. As a human being, life is the most important no matter for the rich or the poor, because only when you are alive, can you have the chance to enjoy yourself with the beauty of nature and the warmth from relatives and friends.

Let's say that if the act to self-immolate is noble and the conductors are heroes, those hailers in Dharmsala should have self-immolated to be an example. However, that is not the case. The hailers are enjoying their life while others are plunged into grief for loss of relatives.

Worse still, these people sacrificed themselves without knowing the truth that they were fooled by the few in Dharamsala who could bend over backwards to please their Western bosses for survival.
