All,
My New Year wish is that `May the NEW YEAR not become a NEW TEAR!` Please forgive me for being negative, on this morning when one should feel so positive. It is not that I do not want 2007 to be a Happy New Year. But if all the odds are against it, should one bother to waste words wishing? We can have a HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR only in a country where there is NO WAR. We cannot have a HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR IN A COUNTRY WITH AN ONGOING WAR. So what is the big idea of wishing everyone Happy New Year, if the next moment we forget all that and start promoting the war? (Even in this thread meant to wish each other in the New Year morning, we see how vicious the comments of some members against the members of another ethnicity have become.) The brutal civil war in our country had killed more than 60,000 people and has brought unspeakable agony to millions. It has made sure our motherland stay in the middle income category still with no hopes of moving to the category of developing countries in the near future. War has not brought any glory or prosperity to Sinhalese. Neither has it brought any glory or prosperity to Tamils, or any other minority communities. It has only brought us agony, suffering and unhappiness to all of us. The war further widens the gap between the two main communities in Sri Lanka. It does not create an environment everyone can work together for the development, as a SINGLE SECULAR AND UNITED NATION. It is crystal clear the only way we can move forward is by join hands leaving aside all our ethnic, religious and caste differences. I purposely avoid wishing a Happy New Year to ALL, as many have done for a good reason. I do not wish Happy New Year to War mongers. They are the ones who convert our NEW YEAR to a NEW TEAR. MY HEARTIEST WISHES IS ONLY LIMITED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE PEACE AND PROSPERITY IN SRI LANKA. AS FOR THOSE WHO PROMOTE WAR AND ETHNIC HATRED, I JUST WISH THEY MAY HAVE EYES TO SEE THE STARK REALITY. . |
