The
Great Yes (or the Great No) for the Thai Prime Minister
Dear PM Abhisit Vejjajiva:
"For some people the day comes
when they have to declare the great Yes
or the great No.
It's clear at once who has the Yes
ready within him; and saying it,
he goes from honor to honor,
strong in his conviction.
He who refuses does not
repent.
Asked again, he'd still say no.
Yet that no--the right no--
drags him down all his life."
(C.P. Cavafy: 1863-1933)
