To Blah or Not to blah


No more than six months since the whole nation went on spree of feeding kiribath to soldiers. Now as a nation we are trying to bury their general., one way or the other .

May be as every bride is pretty, every baby is adorable, every hero should be dead too. May be that is what we are really good at , burying our heroes and then glorifying them afterwards.

Couple days back a young lady scribbled , politics to her has been a bunch of drunken men trying to solve all the problems over plate of devil chicken and a few rounds, but they never get a chance because their better halves will always disturb them to leave the party. That infact is actually the predicament . For most of us politics is a “bite” to go well with Mr Walker’s brew, Or Mr Mendis’s brew . Where as politics should be a part of and concern of us all.

Then somebody else wrote killing is wrong .Well yes , if you trying to shoot me , that’s wrong. But about a suicide bomber being shot before he explodes and kills many. Where does that fall in …Lines get blurred don’t they.

War is wrong, well yes . But Wars have been there from the beginning , and don’t forget that most wars were fought to spread an ideology or a religion which one group thought to be the gospel and worth spreading.

This is where , I go back to practicing what De bono says and pause for a response

  1. Interesting post. A lot of people are confused, we will need to see where things settle before firm opinions can take hold.

  3. thoughtful one .. where would your loyalties be ?

    Everyone is in quandary, aren’t they ? 2 men with da same ideology … fought for the same cause , hope the guns will not ruin the ballots … this may be the leap we wanted . Remember the plight of Churchill @ the Trafalgar square

  6. country, home to physical being
    religion, home to spiritual being

    boundary meets as homes get bigger. old boundaries blurred and new boundaries in making.
