There are two things that influence on me since I was young. These things always make me proud of being Myanmar. That first one is General Aung San, Myanmar National Leader. The second one is not a person but we always suppose that it is alive. That is the Irrawaddy. On my point of view, Irrawaddy is supposed as the image of Myanmar.
There is nothing strange that General Aung San empowers me because he is a human beings and his attempt on Myanmar is incredible. But how can Irrawaddy, a river, influences on you? There is the most important common thing between these two influential things. That is continuous contribution on us. General Aung San was assassinated when he was 32. But, until now, his enthusiasm for independence, integrity, sacrifice and many good things are always empowering us. So does Irrawaddy. Her tranquillity, mightiness and peacefulness always give us the strength for our lives.
Generally we suppose that Irrawaddy is flowing at the centre of Myanmar. But, our country has being developed centralized Irrawaddy. So every Myanmar also supposes that Irrawaddy is vital for our country. She carries us as the central waterway throughout the heartlands of Myanmar. She also carries and silts the silted soil for rice, our staple food. She gives fishery for our curry. We can’t even count what she benefits on us.
However, we forget and miss to reflect upon her gratitude. We never maintain to make her flow smoothly. We never refill her resources to cover as much as she gives us. She has been serving various duties for us for about 15 centuries without any hope. At the same time, we hope more and more upon her without any services. Not only we never maintain but also we try to threaten her existence. Moreover, most of our history has been being kept in our Irrawaddy. If there were no more Irrawaddy tomorrow, our great history will become legend. Therefore, we should try to protect our Irrawaddy from any serious threats. It also means saving us and further generation.
