What use are these platitudes and generalizations from this self styled "sayagyi"
why is the reporter just accepting every "wise saying" he says?
Why did Payap U and Irrawaddy and Burma regime for that matter, give him

Never answered any of the Qs he posed himself.
Waste of time and energy from a "san kone myay lay" (wastes rice and makes the world heavier)
