Friends, readers.
Supposedly one day, a company is allowed to make gold mines near your house that has been colored for a long time. He started producing and mineral. Not long ago. The chemical used to produces the chemicals used to leak along the public creek. Yours, your village, your neighbors, your parents, siblings, thousands of people. Almost four thousand families are sick and still have to eat chemical contaminated food every day.
What will friends do?
Unfortunately, the incident is a real event that happened at khao luang sub-District, Wang Saphung District, province.
Unfortunately, the voices of villagers there may not be as loud as the voices of fellow communications experts through social media.
In 2556, six villagers gathered on behalf of the homeland rak to file a federal court to order for the minister of industry and commissioner of industry and mining duty to supervise the mining companies to perform the terms. Cards and licenses for mines without impact on the environment and community.
But then the result is to beat the villagers and tie their hands on the back to many injured.
After the coup. Assigned to local military units to take care of gold mine. There are appointed ' Provincial Gold Mines ' committee that villagers disagree with and ask for solutions according to the people's proposal for reasons that the solution that affect the life of the life of the life of They should let them participate in the decision.
But then the result is the leader of homeland and students who call to report to adjust attitude.
And this group of students we know them as 'dao din', students from faculty of law, khon kaen university, who camp to learn society. They are on the area with villagers around the golden mines, Wang Saphung District. Many years from seniors to juniors. Study information and work with villagers all along, not only in this government days.
For villagers in the area, the soil star is not different from children and grandchildren who come to help each other and take care
After coup, the movement to fight gold mines are more restricted and always connected to politics, basically fighting for the quality of life of life.
From the light sound, it can barely make noise. It's easy. City people like us haven't heard about the villagers in wang saphung district.
Once in 2556, while the riot police will break down, villagers who come to gather to hear comments after cuddle states, keep people from commenting. Only allow those who agree to go in one side when it comes to face. Set up a human wall to protect villagers from the force of officers.
Students Help villagers who are in trouble against power of cuddle states and capital power.
Friends, if we were villagers in Wang Saphung District, how would we feel about these students?

Once upon a time, when I was still studying at the faculty of cuddle, Chulalongkorn University, I had a chance to read the magazine ' special edition of ' 14 October 2516 ' while chasing my eyes on the story in it. I had a question. In mind why young people in that era have strength and aspirations are different from young people in our generation.
Their aspirations are national social level, not a dream of personal success. Want to work in a famous company. Want a lot of salary, want bonus months a year or something.
Their problem is looking forward to change society to more equality. Help be a voice for farmers, poor people to be more justice in life than ever.
So what are we doing?
I've heard many adults say that the problem of education in the post-term is scheduled to serve capitalism, workers, employees log in to work, meet business entrepreneurs. Look at the problems that teachers have given us. We can't deny that it's true. Students like us design expensive chairs, interia, Luxury Hotel, five Star Spa, cool graphics, cool design, almost no design to solve problems for little ones or to solve the problems of disadvantaged people in society.
It seems like we live in different worlds.
It's not that students don't want to use knowledge to help society, but we barely have that mode because we live in a world far away from the problems of those little people.
Of course, the problem that the teacher gives us is a necessary problem for professional assembly. But if we look at the other way, if we live in the same society, we should know the problem and try to use the knowledge that we have studied to figure out how to solve it for friends. Isn't it society? But we have never been taught to look that way. These days may start to have some.
And this is a common thing in Thai University. The bond connects the relationship between students and social problems. The story of society. The misery of social friends is faded.

After the students of the soil star came out to move and arrested to military court, we heard both adults in the city and comment on Facebook say, " admire students who made a reputation for the country in science, Sports. Come out to this move. Let's stop because it makes the city unpeaceful " or the words like " why are students ranting. Why is the duty of students to study " or even the saying " these look like students, but they look like beast. Say "
I feel sad after listening to Thai society. Students who think about social friends fighting for justice. Become students that adults don't want. What kind of students do we want?
Some people write comments to ask these students, " when the government cheat, why don't you come out to shrink their head which I think this is the same thing, whether the cuddle government, cuddle government, cuddle, the election or government used. The unjust power that comes from taking over should be investigated, and the ground stars have fought both governments.
Arrests of din students is not sad because cuddle government officials arrested a group of students who fight for justice for villagers, but this arrest will scare many students and citizens who wish society. It is a cut off the idea of dreams. And hope is not only for young people, not only for the people, but it is also a cut of the thoughts, dreams and hopes of Thai society.
Because it tells us that this society does not value fighting for justice for fellow society.
If you let this happen, what do we want to see society?

A society where people laugh at when students who fight for the justice of villagers are arrested. What kind of society is this?
Don't we really need sense citizens for social associates?
If our family has to drink chemical contaminated creek, don't we really need sympathy from anyone? If our friends have to drink chemical contaminated water, we will shrug and say that first cry. Why would we really live like that?
If the soil stars fought for us for our village, would we look at him differently from now?
One day these students may ask for something for us or wait until that day so we think they did the right thing.
For me, din star is an example of students who are hard to find in Thai society. Both their dedication and courage are all up to be salute. I respect them for seeing villagers as ' friend s'. What happens is villagers. See them as ' friend s' as well
Feeling grateful for ' friend s' like this. It's a magical thing with the overall society because it creates an atmosphere of being part of each other. Sympathy for each other. Help each other to happen in society.
This is the ' friend ' that is missing from Thai society because we keep thinking about ' personal issue '
Many people may be bored of politics, bored of movement, calling and like the city is peaceful. But we have to ask who ' peaceful ' is peaceful and peaceful for anyone when there are people who benefit from this ' peace ' and need to make noise for others to hear. Fighting for my own life
Therefore, a peaceful city without contending or disputing is a world that tucked under the carpet. Press over the cries of many people from hearing.
Peace is beyond invisible suffering
Therefore, democracy is important because it opens the opportunity for every voice to speak, make noise.
Every voice speaks the same loud and the same important.

Before being arrested, these students wear shirts with letters, " we are friends I think this word means another aspect hidden in it. If ' friend ' are the ones who see each other's suffering and don't think about themselves. These students are. Friends of villagers are friends of the people.
'we' are all the people.
As for the real ' Devil ' or ' BEAST ' is the opposite of the people. No matter who they are, no matter how they come, election comes to take power. If the opposite of the people, don't listen to the voice, don't focus, don't think about the benefit of all people Truly, we should stand beside each other to make noise to expel demons together.
Leaders. If you see that we are friends. If we are beside the people, we have to listen to each other. Open the opportunity to comment, not to fix it, but to catch those who come out to warn or adjust attitude.
'we' should fight corps cuddle together and fight against unrighteous power together.
Fighting all kinds of unrighteousness is necessary.
There may be different opinions. If you don't like Mr. Thaksin. If you don't like khun prayut, let's say (which is not strange if anyone doesn't like both of them). But if you see that you shouldn't fight for disadvantaged people who Should let these people express their thoughts. This one would be a big deal.
The peaceful society that we want should be a society where people care about each other's problems and suffering. Listen to exchange civilized opinions, not peaceful because of other people's mouth or neglect. Don't care about suffering
A society like that may seem peaceful just because we can't hear or ignore other people's cries.
As a person who lives in the same society. #Are we friends?
If you are not friends with the people, who will we be friends with?Translated
