SINHALESE
‘TELLING’ TAMILS?
Daily Mirror has
reported as follows:
[Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said yesterday that he, Opposition
Leader Mahinda Rajapaksa and the TNA leader R. Sampanthan are still in politics
as there is no retirement age for politicians. Speaking as the Chief Guest at
the National Pensioner’s Day held at the Nelum Pokuna theatre he said that
government as an appreciation of pensioners' service took steps to remove
pension anomalies twice.]
Together these three
have not resolved the ethnic problem – have they? To me, when a Sinhalese ‘tells
me’ what to do or what not to do – then we continue to have an ethnic problem.
Even in the above ‘group’ of seniors – Mr Wickremesinghe has had to ‘insert’ Mr
Sampanthan which to my mind is due to his inner ‘intelligence’ which informs
him that according to the principled
structure TNA was the real Opposition leader. The truth we realize is our
soul-power. One who lacks the courage to give it form by the time s/he is of
the age at which a public officer has to retire – is a negative leader. Such a
leader would promote double standards.
This morning I received an email from such a person
who is carrying the status of being ‘Australian’ while demonstrating that he
has not even become ‘Sri Lankan’.
Mr Shyamon Jayasinghe wrote to me as follows:
[I have told you numerous times that I have
no time to read your email. But you keep on sending me this stuff.
It is not fair
Shyamon Jayasinghe]
The above
confirms that :
(1) Mr Jayasinghe has ‘assumed’ status
higher than myself
(2) By asking me not to write - Mr
Jayasinghe is confirming that he is undemocratic
The just reason why Tamils seek self-determination
surfaced again through the above communication also. If the young are not able to believe in the
seniors by position, due to cultural reasons – then they are entitled to separation
of powers. This kind of ‘telling’ contributes strongly to militancy in the
young ones who are unable to ‘believe’ in the seniors by position. Those who ‘accept’
handouts would tend to ‘show’ obedience as quid pro quo. That becomes an
opportunity cost to the development of belief.
But truth usually comes with its balance – so I
would know in my mind where I stood. Yesterday, I received a positive
communication from Nilantha Ilangamwa, who to me is Sri Lankan of Sinhalese
origin. Nilantha who is also a journalist whom I got to know as editor of Sri
Lanka Guardian would not have ‘told me’. This is because unlike Mr Jayasinghe, Nilantha is not blinded by position status. Wherever I
believe I am senior to Nilantha – I bless him and this means he gets ownership
share in my work raised to the power of Energy.
Nilantha
shared with me the book ‘PERMANENT RECORD’
by EDWARD SNOWDEN. Edward states in this:
[After 9/11, the IC was racked with guilt for failing to protect
America, for letting the most devastating and destructive attack on the country
since Pearl Harbor occur on its watch. In response, its leaders sought to build
a system that would prevent them from being caught off guard ever again. At its
foundation was to be technology, a foreign thing to their army of political science
majors and masters of business administration. The doors to the most secretive
intelligence agencies were flung wide open to young technologists like myself.
And so the geek inherited the earth……..
What
makes a life? More than what we say; more, even, than what we do. A life is
also what we love, and what we believe in. For
me, what I love and believe in the most is connection, human connection,
and the technologies by which that is achieved. Those technologies include
books, of course. But for my generation, connection has largely meant the
Internet..]
One who loves human connection above all would
protect her/his nation through preventive Energy. Through belief we connect to
the other’s mind and to the extent the other is open to us – we cure them
naturally and often without either side being conscious of it. That is what
family is about. As an Accountant, committed to the ethics of my profession, I
have witnessed those who insulted me after using my services to promote themselves
demoting themselves through money related activities. They would not have if
they had respected me and confirmed it
through the common structure. Insulting one who provides ‘service’ at ownership
level – becomes a sin. Many seniors who use the internet without respecting the
system of democracy that the internet is part of – are also the reason why 9/11
in America and the ethnic wars in Sri Lanka happened.
A true leader would live off voluntary contributions
from followers. Governing power is the end of Executive power. A politician who
receives money as salary is not a full governor. Mr Jayasinghe revealed his superiority complex
through my article headed ‘ETHICS OR LAW FOR UNIVERSITIES?’. Most of the
substance was presented in the form of University of Jaffna. Obviously Mr
Jayasinghe sees no value in that – not even for parallels in Southern Sri
Lanka. Ultimately the likes of him do what they do for themselves alone.
