Is the struggle for a change in the system?
There were many positive features of the struggle. Especially the strugglers who entered the house yesterday and are still there today. I saw them enjoying the joy of driving out the oppressor without hatred. It gives..The escape of the kings is met. The behavior of the people was dramatic. The French revolution was dramatic. I thought to compare Gota to Queen Marie Antoinette a year and a half ago. Gota’s menu card came out. In a country where 20% of the population is worried about the next meal. .These are all found by people.. Gota’s underwear size and brand. Actually they are not that valuable and expensive.
The Sri Lankan people have achieved one victory. That is the lifting of the post of Executive President and beating it to the ground. Not only Gota, but also about the pleasures that the people get from the people’s money. I have been to the official residence of the German Chancellor. Got it. The chancellor went to her 105 square meter apartment in the city very simply after finishing her duties. The comfort of the woman who is not lacking in education and rules the most powerful country in the world was in that 105 square meters where she paid the rent from her own salary. She did the cooking and cooking by herself. She ruled the country for 16 years. When it took time to form the next coalition, she fulfilled her responsibility in the same way and left the country as scheduled without complaining about the reduced retirement period. Things like car permits are not available even in countries where cars are made. Vehicles are available during the duty period. Of course, everyone travels in their own car. , exposed how a country was destroyed by giving it to thugs. These things have been heard so far. All those mansions should be converted into museums to reduce the expenses of the rulers. The course of the struggle should be read in those museums.
On the other hand, we saw political harmonies in the struggle, the land of struggle. The mirror of the country’s politics. There were all-party people in it. However, by last night, we felt that the struggle could not free those all-party people from the bondage of the party. There was. There was party politics. It is not surprising that the members of each political party behaved in that way during the struggle. Of course, many people who helped it from the outside than those who were in the struggle, realized that political healing is needed in the history of Sri Lanka. A good lesson was spread throughout the book. It was felt that the educated people were very happy and inspired by the burning. The burning was justified, it was justified as a punishment for the political mistakes made in the past. They were eager to publicize it as a mistake to grieve over the books destroyed by burning. All these people were young children of the struggle. No. All of them are the parents of their young children.. In Gota Go village, books were created for children to write from paper written on one side. Because of the shortage in that country. We can feel from the requests that we get how valuable a book is to a village library.. If those who can enjoy the pleasure of burning Ranil’s house would really enjoy it personally, as adults, at least the disdain for books will not spread.
We keep the books that we finish reading in the mobile library on the road. Otherwise, we leave them in a place where people hang out and take them to someone who wants to. Books are the environment. In short, trees. We need at least one tree to make paper for one book. Writing books means cutting down trees. .Environment gives life and gives people a book.I personally do not print some books due to the shortage of paper in Sri Lanka..
We will not interfere with the happiness of anyone who is happy that Ranil’s house was set on fire. Of course, system change will not be achieved by popularizing burning and destruction of books. Changing the system based on political hatred. On the other hand, the self-righteousness that the struggle should be free from criticism. This self-righteousness belongs to the political parties. There are people from all parties in my list. Then it is better to write the system change on a piece of paper and put it on the chair before sitting down.
I have a doubt about Gota’s escape. Did Gota stay in the mansion until the last moment, knowing that so many people were coming, or have they left the country as previously advertised? The meeting of the party leaders was held through Sum. Opposition leader Premadasa, who was suddenly ill, did not participate in it. You can see the work. Really, Mr. Premadasa, the leader of the opposition, should make a statement from the hospital or address the protesters and declare that he is ready to take responsibility for the country under the current situation, right? Is there anyone who can temporarily take over the country?
We have seen that Mr. Sarath Fonseka is in the struggle. Of course, he is hitting Rajitha. No party leader has come to the struggle ground. Of course, the aim of the struggle is to have an all-party government. These behaviors in the struggle and party politics are debatable. Of course, the story goes that Savendra will get a big position in Sarath Fonseka’s new party. When Savendra went to India yesterday, the motorcade that brought him back, we felt that at least 225/200 members of Parliament were going to the airport to leave the country. Actually, that motorcade went to the runway and saw him. This is destroying the government’s money. He is a retired officer. There are no other countries in the world with such spendthrift military commanders and retired military commanders. We cannot rule out the joke of talking with those people who are going to change the system. Therefore, the struggle must be more mature. The struggle should be seen internationally. The struggle must be matured by understanding the global challenges.
I wrote about the need for an all-party interim government 11 months ago, forcing Gota to resign. There are 15 parties representing the parliament. That is the opinion that should be expressed in an all-party government. However, I feel that it is time for the parties to win the struggle again. It is death. By delaying like that, the conditions of the IMF will expire. Not one of the 16 conditions have been worked yet, which means that there is no solution to the problems of life in the country. This is a push for us to depend on India, or on China, which blesses the all-party government. However, the only place we have to protect our independence at this time is the IMF. We need a little of that independence for a rise.
After the struggle has matured, there is another valuable struggle left. That is to heal the Traumata about the fear of Sri Lanka’s political history or the revenges, bloodshed and killings of party politics. The most advanced in terms of rituals in terms of such collective healing in the world are the traditional methods of healing among the tribes of South African countries. Even in the Buddhist philosophy, which is a very valuable philosophy for us, we have not been able to heal those wounds and end the hatred. Political revenge and recovery from Arias is an essential part of a system change. Israel and Germany are still active countries in that political recovery. It is not possible to use our full energy to contribute to the development of the country except to satisfy the ideologies in our minds by fighting every day and kicking people out.
