Aung San Suu Kyi, a woman of 72 years old, a wise woman, some say, but their numbers dwindle.
And despite all her pious references to the Lord Buddha and despite all the stories about her study of the philosophy of non-violence and of many Buddhist scriptures, and despite the many years in which she, according to their own words,
was sunk daily in Buddhist meditation – despite all of this,
she obviously never became detached from the searing ambition to become, at all costs, president.
There is no question of detachment.
It is tragic, but not as tragic as the fate of the Rohingya,
the people on whose backs the tragedy is being played out.
