I woke up this morning to an inspiring news feed on my Facebook page written by a Bhutanese sharing a heartwarming note on our Beloved King displaying our sense of culture, value, and discipline to a Thai King.As always, our beloved Kings have beautifully represented Bhutan to the world, not only through development and innovation but by embodying and preserving our timeless Bhutanese values, which are absolutely becoming a rare sight in many developed societies.In this fast-changing world shaped by technology and artificial intelligence, where machines increasingly mimic human abilities, our way of life is already in danger. Indeed, our very humanity is being transformed. Despite these global shifts, Our King remains deeply grounded in compassion and wisdom, reminding us that human values are the true roots of who we are and where we are heading.We cannot populate, or replace everything in the name of modernity or in pursuit of artificial advancement. What we must preserve, above all, is humanness, strong and safe neighborhoods and community. The world is changing, nations and individuals piece-by-piece, and face-by-face are competing for power, wealth, and control, and surprisingly this struggle often leads to the loss of what truly matters, not just for our time, but to our future generation.Bhutan at its best is progressing steadily in the development pursuit while holding firmly to our culture, compassion, community vitality, and harmony with nature guided by our development philosophy called "Gross National Happiness", only few can understand, it took me more than a decade to understand this, and I'm still trying to grasp its totality. Looks like it's only going to become more complex, but firmly and surely I shall make it to and live by it, no matter where and what.In this global pursuit of smart AI and development, little Bhutan still continues to share our land, water, and fresh air, not just for ourselves but as a gift to the world.
