Family Crisis, TRIN-GO the Trigger Mechanism of the Crisis
Because of our industrial action, I have decided not to share publicly, except privately, any humor, anecdotes and many amusing stories that crop up when we do not CARE for WORK, like politicians, take a real vacation even though, it was premature by 6 months and enjoy the life as if there is only a few days to live in a year when the world is predicted to end from news from an Oracle.
But the focus was only on the STRIKE in spite of many obstacles and telling all my near and dear do not get depressed but try creativity which politicians lack and teach them a lesson, even it is not the time and the midterm of a aimless regime except glorifying and consolidation of the power base.
I was of the opinion that midterm was the best time to take industrial action since one can get a sleeping, lethargic and partisan administration to change its ways and be responsible and responsive.
There was no pressure for those in power politically in midterm and extract what ever it may be desirable.
Equally, one can test the mentality of those in power and their corrupt officials giving them wrong and ill-advices strategically.
I also warned them that it will take a political trend which I am technically or strategically against but not morally though, since there are many who will piggyback on US and take political mileage.
In a democracy if we remain silent and passive partners, the the cradle of democracy will crumble.
It crumbled since Tamils were silent when atrocities were enacted on them from both sides of the divide..
It is going to crumble if Muslim and Sinhala communities remain passive participants.
Thank god Muslim community has realized it even very late.
They are been globally and systematically suppressed by American and British engineered propaganda which France is cohesively and covertly participating.
All due to OIL but nothing but OIL, the energy crisis looming.
I also told when politics not policies takes precedence, the final outcome is dicey and it will be a long drawn out and painful STRIKE for both sides and there is no win-win situation, the longer it gets into the deep end of the rotten and muddy pool of politics.
Slowly and surely the bureaucrats have muddied the pool.
All my predictions have come true except a viable solution.
This preamble is to explain the newly coined name of our newly adopted grandson who is a squirrel who even had not opened its eyes.
Again the full story will come after the strike is over and one has to wait.
We have kept a diary of him and that will come out when we are back at work, academically.
I need some diversions from the main stream to wear my creative HAT when in full gear.
After I have attended to the emergency need (half my wife and I was out in the town enjoying the new found FREEDOM), I let the tiny one relax and go to sleep since my wife had frightened it so much, only sedative I could assure was dark room conducive for sleeping.
I went to sleep myself and when I got up, the next thing was to name it.
GO was vital and I had decided that it had to GO when he is ready.
I won´t get attached to it.
TRI is that it had to survive the from CATS, and my DOG and Ants.
It also has stripes not three but many on its back.
I made a note on a little notebook for my daughter to attend and again went back to town to find a suitable PEN.
Quite by accident the name rings on me the way we handle RECONCILLATION.
We are like CATS, DOGS and SQUIRRELS,
They cannot live in one house or a PEN.
We are so deeply divided, this country will never prosper.
TRIN-GO reminds me, the election results of the TRINCO, too.
Without any amendments the new name was endorsed by the adopted family and the poor squirrel family has to be satisfied one minus but soon the juvenile will be roaming on rooftops and trees.
The question is why cannot we enjoy our new found FREEDOM?
Why it is only for ONE Dominant Party?
Why there is no reconciliation but only power politics?
Political power when absolute takes away prudence and cohabitation.
We are worse than CATS, DOGS and SQIRRELS.
In spite of the oddity in nature they somehow survive near human habitation.
Only rarely one has to intervene, when one is young, blind or injured we have to help.
Soon he has to be released to the mother nature.
That was my resolve and no attachment.
One should not get attached to POWER too.
Even our Buddhist monks are deeply entrenched in this POWER game.
That is the sad part and we do not have philosophers to take their place.
Even the philosophy of live and let live is hijacked by the modern Buddhists. and their political leaders.
Why?
I do not know.
