Thinkers

Buddhism as a philosophy attracts a lot of thinkers. Naturally, the local Buddhist community has many members who are active critics, devil's advocate, lots of bright ideas, reasons why things will work and why some things don't, and then when action is required, they remain comfortably on their armchairs, contented with mere rhetorics, citing this and that reason for not being able to translate thoughts into actions.

The same way why I have huge respect for this young team. Bright young adults with lots of tertiary, family and youthful commitments, yet they still put their heart and soul into the youth group, sacrificing personal time and endeavours. Of course, there's always room for improvement and my wish is that they not burn-out, from the lack of support, the lack of people who step forward when it actually matters.
