Heart shattering
Women in #Herat, now under Taliban control are telling me when they tried to enter the grounds of their University today they were told to go home. Women working in offices also turned away. Schools have been shut down. 60 percent of University students in Herat were women.

For those who insist that Afghanistan has not changed: almost 60% of Herat University students are women. And their scores are higher than their male counterparts. Now that is what I call progress (and something to be proud of) @TOLOnews

Reality check : Fearing tough difficult choices & escaping reality = >>> pain!
Strangely, life gets harder when you try to make it easy. Exercising might be hard, but never moving makes life harder. Uncomfortable conversations are hard, but avoiding every conflict is harder. Mastering your craft is hard, but having no skills is harder. Easy has a cost.

Back in SG, my 2nd visit in 2 consecutive weeks.. evidence of the shifting tide of financial “gravity” or simply a mere coincidence? Regardless, growing the proverbial “Asian Pie” is key hence the delicate situation in HK does NOT benefit any of us in the long term 😔
