Elephant Thinking

This is what an elephant was thinking while being dressed up for the grand pageant in Kandy.
Why I  am chained?
Why these people gather in numbers to watch my incarceration?
Do these people have a brain as big as mine? 

Do they use their brain or are they very selfish to restrain my freedom?
My brain is big but my plea very is simple.
Give me my freedom.

The man does not need a brain as big as mine but they should use a bit of their cocky brain for fair play and equal opportunity.

Are these only fancy words with no meaning?

I hope few of these spectators, especially foreign visitors spare a little moment to grasp what my thinking brain does while parading in front of you and not admire the the majestic beast in me.

I am big but very gentle in my ways unlike the man the dirty beast.

Lateral Thinking

Lateral Thinking is a concept developed by Prof Bono.
In here it is to state that our PM is talking about alternative views.
This is very healthy trend evolving in our politics that was lacking in this country over a half century.
 

Whether we can translate that to politics including reconciliation is completely a new experience.
