He


He is one of the first of my childhood memories.
Everyday I would hear this teachings after the news on TV. 
And I wondered how could one person can have so many thoughts to teach us.
Not feeling of him as a King, I feel so familiar with him although  I have never met the real him.
He is like a big tree or a shelter or a father that makes me feel safe everyday and when there was bloodshed... I know he would do something when necessary.
I was not so excited about 60th Anniversary celebrations, I didn't care about the great celebration itself, wasn't there either in front of TV or at the venue. I didn't think that it is important. I still remember I was at the office preparing a presentation. I just sent him my best wishes and felt thankful I was born in his time.
I always think being born royal is worse than being born ordinary people like me. You have to sacrifice a lot if you want to be a good royal.
He does not need be good to us. He does not need be bad either. He could choose to be ignorant.
But he has been a good King. And if he weren't a King, as a person, he would be a good person.
What more can we expect from a person? 
Why do we have to expect so much from him whilst he has been giving us more than we have rights to expect from a person?

So many sad songs out there for my sad feelings, but there is no such song for this broken heart at this moment. I'm hurt Thais fight each other and we are breaking his heart.
