Currently, a curfew has been imposed from 8pm to 6am tomorrow. This curfew is supposedly to be a time where police officers, army personnels and other CRES officials (Centre for the Resolution of the Emergency Situation) use this 10 precious hours to "restore peace and order" in restricted areas. We'll have to wait and see what happens tomorrow.
Questions run in people's minds right now. Will this curfew really help? Will peace ever be achieved here? I purposely used the word 'achieve' because it is true, effort is needed. Everyone is publicly expressing their thoughts and feelings towards this issue. Even feelings of hatred are expressed in such a manner that insults a certain group of people. Even if everything ends tomorrow, people and their prejudice will not go away. Sabotages will occur. Criticism will arise and probably most criticism will be based on "I'm educated and you aren't!"
What has Thailand come to? What happened to the Land of Smiles? Some just want to literally disown themselves from this country right now. Why so? To me, it's probably because people fear that a war might arise... A war that is needless. A war that will not help anyone. A war that will hurt the entire nation. This war would not necessary be a physical war but probably a war of thoughts and words. A war that could create a greater damage to not just the physical beings but probably all the elements of a human being: heart, body, mind and soul.
Nevertheless as people of this country and of the human race, we should hope and pray and more importantly work together towards a common understanding, PEACE. It isn't impossible to create peace especially with the current situation right now where everyone has the same desire... The desire to live together harmoniously without any bloodshed.
