Words didn’t fall from the sky. They were coined. They contain histories. They are the landmark products of thought processes, the rest-signs of journeys. They move on, long after we die. They were something else centuries ago and they will be something else centuries from now as human being twist, turn, defined and redefine as appropriate to moment, place, culture and prerogative(s) at hand.

Sri Lanka's Civil War (Complete) | Asia Society
NEW YORK, December 6, 2011
Documentary filmmaker Callum Macrae, Malinda Seneviratne, Editor-in-Chief of Sri Lanka's The Nation, and Bob Templer of the International Crisis Group present and assess both the Sri Lankan government and international community's perspectives on that country's decades-long sectarian conflict.
Tunku Varadarajan, editor of Newsweek International, moderates the discussion.

You were far too polite with those two insufferable, self-righteous patronising humanitarians from Channel 4 and ICG.

ReplyDeleteHilarious things make me grin, can't help it. 'Killing Fields', as i said, was a good PRODUCTION. If Tamils or anyone else wants to believe that crap and weep over it, that's THEIR business. I don't think I need to cry over other people's crocodile tears anyway. Thanks for the advice, well-meaning no doubt, but sorry, I am not into acting.

ReplyDelete'arrogance' is your opinion. there was no arrogance on my part. the biggest obstacle to reconciliation is falsehood. i am not guilty of it.

ReplyDeletea lie is a lie, whatever you want to call it. tact and diplomacy that is patently false does not promote reconciliation, only postpones it!
