I have to eat something. They are giving me food soon.
I'm very angry about the court case we've been having for decades. My dad was owner of Edna Engineering and Ceylon Weighing Machines. He owned 55%. When he died, his brother Lal, whose wife Deepa Edirisinghe (Soma's daughter) who is that ETI Finance director, they claimed they "rescued" my mom Shanika. We have been in court for decades over it. I am very angry all the time over it. But there are 1,100,000 court cases pending in SL. It may have climbed, most likely. The courts culture seems to be, they want to take their own sweet time. But that often means many many years like in our case. That's why Yvonne's case, or Wasim Thajudeen's case, they have been dragged on for decades. They never ended. Property cases take the longest, so they go on for many decades, and I read on the papers, one was 100 years or something. Which forces people in the USA and Trump to lose respect for us.
When our buddhist monks, did a walk across America, with a stray dog, they adopted, a "peace walk", they were ignored. Because Trump, and those people thought we had no right, when we haven't got our own act together, to go to a foreign country, to try to tell them what to do. They will listen if it's Singapore's PM, because they're stable, doing well and the people are happy. If it had been the Japanese monks, they would have likely met up with them, greeted in WH, and listened. We must become a nation, who are truly independent in practice, not just in name, as a "republic" in our name, but for real. That's the only way for Buddha's teachings to be seen with real respect.
