We do not listen because we can not listen. We have different agendas. Issues such as war and Peace, politics are our passe- temps favoris - to lighten our hearts while we get our evening drink, to shed a tear or two, to be emotional......... and to show-off. And Shylock, it's because of our Pariah mentality, we can not see the simple things in front of our eyes. Why see what the IC wants us to see? Simple questions have simple answers!

May be we understand but we’re rotten with pride and blind with Eksath Lankawa and Sinhala Deshaya that we’re not ready to acknowledge it. We all are captured by the political system and politicians, we see what they want us to see. So, we can not understand this simple truth. We can not hear that.
