Where do i start.. but its a start...
hmmmmm... i don’t know where to really start.. or why i am doing this.. or how i am going to do this.. all i know is i want to do this..
my little country is going though this very interesting time and boy.. i am glad i am part of it.. part of history in the making.. i clearly remember when we never had cell phones,,, or had no idea what internet was... i remember when we had open wells to wash ourselves.. i remember walking though knee high puddles of water to get to school.. i remember when i use to live in this island full of trees and coconut palms... i remember going to the beach ..fishing with my little sister... i remember spending nights and days in the sea...i remember when people use to stop on the street when they hear the prayer calls... i remember when we never could afford milk... i remember when we use to play with fireworks... i remember when we flew kites.. these are all nostalgic memories locked away and kept safe until from time to time i take it out and let it play in my mind giving me this sense of serenity and happiness...
so how did we reach this point.... are these inevitable consequences of globalization and modernism or is this an experiment that has badly gone wrong.... who knows.. maybe this is part of the experiment..
so you ask me, where i stand? i don’t want to be either .. yet there are social factors and realities that pull me to different sides... and as these realities change... i change.. i am not trying to say that this changes my basic philosophy of what is right and wrong or what is human and inhuman.. or what is moral and immoral or fair and unfair.. as humans we have the same ideals that we want to attain.. doesn’t matter what religion, nationality, sex or race you are.... or which side you are on..
