Suu Kyi's Speech Summary

In the speech Towards a True Refuge, Suu Kyi talks about many things and mainly talks about mankind's problems. She also says that prosperity and peace are necessary for happiness, and talks about how people want safe refuge. I personally took away from the speech that we all have different and we have to work with one and other through compromise. Also, we should learn from the past when she talks about the cold wars and how the ruthlessness of the government helped no one because they wanted to fight and not help people. Overall, I believe that her claim was very simple, to have peace and harmony we have to accept one another for who they are and try to work for one and other.

The first thing I noticed when reading this story was when she said "the biggest problem for man is not economic deficiencies but from religious, racial and political dissensions. First what I think that means is it's not the economy of poor nations and refugees fault that they are like this, it's that people see our differences as a bad thing where as if I look sound or act different that is not ok. At the start of her speech she also, talks about how people would give anything for secure refuge. I believe this is adds a lot to the story because, it shows us a different side of the world and what refugees think.
I believe that this goes a lot with her claim because if we accept people and try to understand them we can work together. She talks about how world peace has always been dreamt about since the beginning but I believe we will never be able to achieve peace because people have their greedy wants, but if we work towards a better tomorrow by loving and caring for people we would be one step closer. If we work with everyone to make the world a better place we will achieve prosperity. Overall, I think we can make the world a better place if we put a little love in our hearts and help others
