I would urge the intellectuals who are questioning Sonam Wangchuk to think and speak with wisdom, not merely with logic.
The most important thing was that Sonam Wangchuk's fast had to end; otherwise, his life could have been at risk. That was the primary objective, and achieving it was enough.
Now, please do not elevate secondary matters to the level of primary concerns by asking questions such as: Who offered him the juice? Did he drink it from a glass or with a spoon?
And if these intellectuals are unable to distinguish between what is primary and what is secondary, they should themselves undertake a week-long fast. They may then discover the answers to their own questions.
It is precisely because of such intellectuals—who place excessive emphasis on arguments while failing to distinguish between primary and secondary objectives—that the country had reached the crossroads of authoritarianism, compelling students and young people to launch a movement.
Sonam Wangchuk accepted the juice from the hands of a human being. Every person has a human side within them. Whether that humanity is awake or dormant, it is always there.
Sonam Wangchuk did not accept the juice from the hands of a minister; he accepted it from the hands of a fellow human being.
