Last Sunday, we wrote about modern-day dynasties, dictators, and despots and, in particular, singled out the Administrations of Presidents Marcos (dynasty and dictator), Estrada (dynasty), and Arroyo (dynasty), plus Middle East-North Africa rulers: Tunisia (dynasty, dictator, despot); Egypt (dynasty, dictator, despot); Libya (dynasty, dictator, despot); and Yemen (dynasty, dictator, despot). Nearing the end-game is Syria (dynasty, dictator, despot) now under tight sanctions from the UN, Arab League, EU, US, and others because of heinous crimes and violence by the state against civilians.
To all these erstwhile Heads of State/Government do apply most pointedly the Words of Wisdom (WOW) of Leo Oracion, the first Filipino to climb Mt. Everest – which deserve repeating. He memorably asserted: “Getting to the top is optional, but coming back down is mandatory -- because no one stays at the summit forever.”
