"The poor need courage. They are lost, that's why. That even get up in the morning is something, in their plight. Or that they plough a field, in wartime. Even their bringing children into the world shows they have courage, for they have no prospects. They have to hang each other one by one and slaughter each other in the lump, so if they want to look each other in the face once in a while, well, it takes courage." (Brecht, Mother Courage & Her Children)

Today, six years ago, early in the morning in Taunggyi, a kid told me, "The sun is beginning to grow dim." I said, "No, it is just claudy. Soon you will see it shining."
Today, I realize he was true when a news came to me this morning that he died of AIDS a week ago.
What a shock to know, that another 9.7% of the population in Taunggyi is uttering the same as what the kid told me six years ago.
