台灣和香港，給我一個非常不同的感覺，係他們的公民社會比香港成熟太多（台灣的公民社會已非常接近歐美，但香港仍差一大段）。
台灣志工（義工）很多，但香港亦不少，但台灣志工給我的感覺係，他們去幫人同時，亦非常關心社會政策，會給不少建議和政策政府，政府政策有什麼問題，他們可以很快組織到一班人出來去給政府壓力，而這未必一定會分藍綠統獨。

而香港有很多義工給我的感覺，係對這個社會的觸角不足，只知做義工係幫人，不明白背後社會出現問題，係沿於政府的政策。香港人通常會把這些責任推到政黨和工會身上，作為義工的人，有不少對這些莫不關心。而我覺得大部份香港人不明白什麼係真正的民主。民主係要你我本身去參與，不能假手於人。我們需要假設政府、政客及政黨係壞人，所以民主社會會非常重視個人誠信，其次才是能力。
而因為政黨和政客不可信，所以才會有傳媒（media）去監察政府、政客及政黨的一舉一動，而給政府、政客及政黨壓力，正是非政府組織（NGO）及義工團體。

由於中華文化太講內斂，但民主正正就係需要見到問題就出聲。因此東方受中華文明影響的地方所行的民主路，就算受過西方教育洗禮的地方，都係怪怪地。

而香港問題在，大部份非政府組織（NGO）及義工團體，都受政府資助，而因為這些資助，而不能反對政府，因為一反對政府，下年就會被政府減少或取消資助，令到NGO和義工團體不能成為壓力團體一員，去監督政府……..

給王菀之：義工與政治

Why we have to study history?
History is for us to learn our dark side, not the bright side of the countries’ or world’s history.
Why we have to learn our dark side?
It could remind us to prevent the wrongs, to correct ourselves, to improve ourselves, to bring the society and the world to have a better future.
If people, most likely the politicians or those who have power, are just want the people to learn the bright side but not the dark side of the history, the bad history such as world war or any other kind of anti-human rights things would be happened again.
The politicians or those who have powers are just thinking themselves. They are just thinking how to protect they currently have and gain more power and benefit on themselves. Please don’t trust them they are really care about people.

Have you ever seen the politicians help on the weaks and poors?

No, they never. All doing on these are the NGOs and citizens who are keeping to push the political parties and the government to do somethings to help the weaks and poors.
In democracy, the politicians are just only thinking about the elections, how to get more votes in the elections.
In dictatorship, those who got the powers are just thinking how to keep their powers.

If the China still keeping the people not to know the dark side of CCP itself, the China is no hope at all.
For Japan, if the group of the right wing is trying to use their powers, trying to inflict the idea of Militarism before 1945 to their next generation, taking about the dark side of the war time is a masochistic history and should not to teach, it is absolutely not good on the future of Japan itself.
If we are not using our tiny power to stop it, the situation would become worse and worse.
There would be finally a great war between China, Japan and Korea that I am really not willing I or my next, or next next generations to see.

此文講的大致正確， 但不代表大陸簡化字簡得正確。
我非常尊重日本的新字体， 因為他們同時保留了該文簡化字所謂的草書特點， 又保留了部份古字， 又或在簡化中， 保留漢字象形指示特點， 如齒->歯， 牙係用來食米的， 比大陸用“齿”來得要好； 而日本仔亦不會亂把多字簡化為一個字。
古人把字繁化原因有好多， 為了立威， 為了書法美感， 為了雕版排版問題， 為了分工。
而經得起考驗變成常用字的， 多是書法美感， 排版， 及分工字。
社會愈複雜所用的字自然會愈多， 這個才是發展常態。

而該文講漏了的， 大陸簡化字把部份字變了簡單的形聲字， 又或用簡單的同音字代替， 而所用的音， 是以北京話為主， 這個才是最大問題。
例：
鬱金香 -> 郁金香
抑鬱 -> 抑郁
蕭邦 -> 肖邦
乾杯 -> 干杯
幹什麼 -> 干什么
乾什麼 -> 干什么
