So I’ve often felt uncomfortable with your standpoint that certain things are「不好說」 and are off-limits to outsiders’ questioning precisely because “they / we are outsiders, what do they / we know?”. But isn’t it precisely because we don’t know that we should question and demand answers on issues that we ought to know more about? And isn’t our position as outsiders precisely what presents us with a differing perspective to the insiders, and allow us to challenge the often unacknowledged assumptions of those involved? Of course, insiders’ could challenge outsiders’ biases and assumptions, too. We are all humans and we all have our various psychological faults in assuming we know best, but that shouldn’t stop us from debating. In the many thorny issues that have happened in the past year, it is actually the wish of those involved that “the world” should know the truth. And who else constitutes “the world” but all of us? We’re all citizens of the world, and by questioning and debating and arguing, we’re doing our tiny bit to ensure that the truth comes out. Labelling something as “「不好說」” seems to only turn sensitive topics into taboos, and I can’t imagine that being a good thing. As I think it was Jefferson who once said, “errors of opinion are tolerated as long as reason is left free to combat them”.

Of course, please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong :) And I do want to express my gratitude that your blog posts have brought new perspectives to world events, even if I may not agree with them 100% of the time. But whether your readers’ are in agreement or not is kinda beside the point though, isn’t it, as long as what you wrote was actually thought-provoking rather than bias-confirming?

我只係比較唔睇足球o個d 咋~

過了今天，轉眼又踏入第五個年頭，這句也應該改成：

「繼續五年又五年咁寫落去～」

仍是那句，祝生Blog 快樂！
