WITH MILLIONS OF DEATHS AND MORE THAN 33 MILLION OF INFECTED PEOPLE ROUND THE WORLD, OUR POLITICAL AND COMMUNITY LEADERS IN MANY PARTS OF THE WORLD ARE STILL IN A STATE OF DENIAL. WE REFUSE TO FACE THE FACT THAT AIDS IS REALLY A COMPLEX DISEASE- MORE SOCIAL THAN MEDICAL. TO STOP THE SPREAD OF THE DISEASE, WE NEED EDUCATION TO OVERCOME OUR DEEPLY-EMBEDDED TRADITIONAL PERSPECTIVES OF SEXUALLY-TRANSMITTED DISEASES WHICH ALWAYS TAR THE VICTIMS WITH TOXIC SHAME, SOCIAL REJECTION & MARGINALIZATION AND PREJUDICES.
I WOULD CLASSIFY AIDS AS THE PINK DEATH, THE MODERN VERSION OF THE `BLACK DEATH'. AS LONG AS MAN CONTINUES TO DENY THAT AIDS IS ALSO A SOCIAL DISEASE, THE PANDEMIC WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD LIKE WILD FIRES. SOCIETY NEEDS TO RADICALLY HER NEGATIVE ATTITUDES TOWARDS AIDS VICTIMS. AIDS IS REALLY A YING-YANG DISEASE- CONCERNED WITH THE VICTIMS AND NON-VICTIMS. EVERYONE MUST ERADICATE PREJUDICE, GOSSIPS, DISCRIMINATION & SOCIAL REJECTION FROM THEIR HEART AND MIND TO PRACTICE COMPASSION AND UNCONDITIONAL LOVE SO THAT THE VICTIMS WILL HAPPILY COME OUT INTO THE OPEN AND COOPERATE WITH SOCIETY TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF AIDS TO THEIR LOVERS. THIS IS THE GREAT PARADOX OF MODERN TIMES!
David YKK has a degree in History & Education specializing on the History of Asia with special focus on comparative religions i.e. Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism etc.
He has experienced a wide range of emotional sufferings from childhood until very recently.
He wanted to use his extensive experiences with low wounded self-esteem combined with insights and strategies derived from many other psychological and spiritual books to help other victims to build their own bridges to transcend their pain, shame and emotional helplessness. In overcoming most of these problems, he has not consulted any psychiatrist because he is convinced that the answers to unlock his serious emotional problems lie in crafting his own keys to open the doors of the dungeon cells from inside. More importantly, he believes in himself- in his integrity & in the philosophy of showing compassion for self and for others as well as trust in the unconditional love of God.
Being a teacher and writer, David believes that every human being is creative enough to use the tools & raw materials (meaningful and practical info) to craft their own keys to open the doors to their dungeon cells that have trapped them inside. So he proposes to provide the tools and raw materials from his own extensive experiences and seven years of reading and research from many psychological and spiritual books. Since no two human beings are the same, every reader must use his/her discretion and judgment to select & apply what is meaningful and effective for their own recovery. If necessary, readers are strongly advised to consult their doctors or counselors whose professional training will definitely be beneficial for their recovery.
At the end of the day, it is the suffering victim who must lift his/her own hands to pull himself/herself out of the ruts to go on living a life that God wants him/her to live. Nobody else can do this job of rebuilding his/her wounded life. The reality is that the victims must be the authors who must take the ultimate responsibility of writing the scripts of the future chapters of their lives.
The articles in his blog are carefully considered and blended from his own personal experiences and insights derived from various books and internet articles with the primary intention of helping himself and other shame-victims to build practical and meaningful stepping stones to cross the deep chasm to become wholesome human beings. The author hopes that he can make a positive difference in the lives of some suffering souls who are looking for some light in their pitch-black tunnels.
David realizes that he can’t do it alone because the doors to other people’s souls are sacrosanct and sacred. He believes in the power of the grace and unconditional Love of God that can bring about inner healing and happiness for the victims who are open in their hearts and minds to be aware of God’s love.
