dark clouds over the sea here in batticaloa, no sunrise – matching weather for a holiday that is a holy day only for the sinhalese.

Profound posting. I don’t understand all the strife in this world. I fear there will always be injustices.
Like the middle east, like (former) northern ireland, like the basques… It’s sad to see what happens out of a narrow-minded sense of nationalism. It’s scary to realize that the roots of such conflicts are basically the same as they were 50, 500, 5000 years ago. Over the centuries we seem to improve ourselves on technology
only.
