The rule of Sri Lanka is still in the hands of self-serving rulers. If any of them had accepted democratic rule from the beginning, and all deepening communities had acted independently and patriotically without relying on the favor of outside forces, our country would have avoided the devastation seen in the past several decades. The country would have retained its status as the paradise in the Indian Ocean.
In a particular environment, based on available genetic data researchers concluded that it affects the personality of 70 percent of the people living in it. Sri Lankans like others are not exempted from this rule.
It would be wrong to criticize our today’s rulers, for it was caused by many deepening issues and that there are so many issues to criticize. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a good example of the customary saying that those living in glass houses should not throw stones.
In this scenario, all Sri Lankans should stop blaming each other and encourage both sides of the ethnic divide to work together without external interference find solution to all unresolved issues, since independence!
