Nobel Peace Prize's significance to World Stability

The event that transpired just recently with an empty chair receiving the Nobel Peace Prize award can be perceived as one that transforms the normal awarding ceremony that should have been participated in by countries whose ideals, culture and tradition, are universally aimed to uplift the human value of individuals who are willing to render noble sacrifice for the good of many.


China's outrage on the Nobel Peace award only manifest its reclusive ideals, outright disregard and disrespect of the vision that the international community has been espousing. Such unfortunate reaction also implies how the Chinese community prefers to close the opportunity of growing maturely and become responsible either to its success or failure without looking at a mirror where the reflection of others can surely help realize its own weaknesses.


Being conservative to the modern pacing of times, and instead protect the very essence of its own spirit with the intent of surviving by their own, is one good virtue. But the world has changed a lot. The lines that demarcates favorable from unfavorable should only be perceived as the starting point for a better perspective. Of course, it should not be made an instrument to suppress freedom, neither that it should be an arm to threaten or to kill.


I believed that China has been overwhelmed by the success of their economy without realizing that it becomes an overpowering wave-like tsunami that is getting started to squeeze its own opportunity to the limits and renders its neighbor a pauper of their unperturbed arrogance.


It also fails to realize the value of criticisms because the leaders who are holding the cudgels of governments are living within the means of their doubting hearts and sumptuous meals, and doesn't care about the welfare of their neighbors. These are what analysts say that China is living within the curtain of their own walls and is afraid to face the realities of the world outside it.


With this perspective at hand, I believe that the Nobel Peace Prize award to its own citizen is rightly the significant difference to China’s world perspective.
