Thousands fill streets of Phnom Penh to bid farewell to Kem Ley

The video below was part of Dr. Kem Ley procession from Phnom Penh to his hometown.

Read the related story
As the sun rose over Wat Chas in the capital’s Chroy Changvar district yesterday, the body of Kem Ley, encased in a glass casket and draped with a Cambodian flag, began its final journey. Tens of thousands of Cambodians took to the streets to pay their respects to the slain political analyst as his funeral procession slowly rolled from the capital to his home province of Takeo, where he is expected to be buried today, according to his wife. Ley was shot twice at close range while drinking his morning coffee at a petrol station in Phnom Penh on July 10. “He was a person who dared to expose the truth,” said 28-year-old volunteer Neang Sinen, just before the analyst’s body departed the pagoda at about 6:45am in a truck converted into an elaborate wood-panelled hearse. “This is why many people come here to join and share our regret. We’ve lost an important person.”

The Seven Stages of Human Life

The seven stages of life are infant, childhood, teenager, young adult, adulthood, retirement and the elderly stage. The origin of the seven stages of life came from an ancient Greek philosophical view. The belief is that there is an association between these stages and the cycle of the planets.

Infant: The infant stage begins at birth and lasts until the age of four. During this stage, characteristics are rapidly developing, especially in comparison with other stages.

Childhood: The childhood stage, between ages four and 13, is when the child develops their character, personality and own form of intelligence. The planet mercury represents this stage.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions

It is a mixed of fun and hardworking

Peace of Mind

Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind. 

A man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.

No One Saves Us But ...

No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.

Internet helps many things

The #internet provide people with many great helps.

Firstly, it stores a huge load of information that we need for our works or studies. As the internet is a bunch of information that is compiled by people who want to share those important things. Therefore, you can find much information that related with almost all fields.

Secondly, people can share whatever they want on the internet ranging from personal life to scientific research. For example, if you just had a travelling trip to somewhere and you want to share with friends or other people, you can write those on the internet, so that other people can experience your experiences too.

Finally, there are a lot of entertainment materials. The internet allow you to do many fun things like chatting with friends, listening to fascinating music, reading a joke story or watching a movie.

In conclusion, the internet helps people collect information they need, share their experience or life story and get entertained.
