Pons’ Dilemma

Pons has never seen two things in his life: his one year old niece and his homeland. His mother cries and tells him to see his niece first. He replies that she has seen his homeland and he needs to see it as well. He marches with one hundred other Buddhist monks to the Tibetan border. They plan to return to their homeland where they face death or imprisonment. He has no embassies to help him. He may never be heard from again. Will anybody notice? That’s my dilemma.
