Life is good but the right attitude makes life better. An attitude is a person's choice. A correct positive attitude sees an opportunity based on truth and not on emotions. But a wrong attitude sees a crisis in everything and it pulls down a person and a nation.

Attitude develops or damages relationships between individuals and groups of people.

When relationship becomes deep and intimate, it develops into friendships. Friends have openness, dignity, respect and honour for each other out of love. There is a remarkable union emerging from the brightness of such a relationship; freed from selfishness, greed and abuse.

JVP complained a few weeks ago about the attitude of the government of Sri Lanka(GOSL) and last week, Mahinda Rajapakse asked people to show a positive attitude.

The rescue mission of 33 miners in Chile a few weeks ago, remarkably displayed the good attitudes of openness, dignity, respect and honour shown by the government of Chile to its citizens, in a time of desperation.

But the war that ended in SL in 2009, was a disgraceful display of the cruel attitude of the Sinhalese as a group of people to a group of about 500,000 Tamils in desperation.

At a time of desperation, the UN, NGO's, ICRC, Britain, Norway and the USA were snubbed away from Tamil Eelam(TE) by the GOSL, with false excuses, to prevent Tamil victims having access to needed help to save their lives.

Ego struck, self centred and arrogant attitude of the GOSL, instead of being broadly citizen conscious as in Chile, was open and obvious. A bloody war, war crimes and genocide resulted from this evil attitude.

To bring cure to this wrong attitude; acknowlegement, openness and positive actions are primary necessities, instead of cover up, denial and propaganda.

Truth and justice are essentials for reconciliation. GOSL refuses to reveal the truth and grant justice to Tamils. Surely, GOSL cannot reconcile with Tamils with its present attitude: a reason why it refused to admit the shortcomings in LLRC, expressed with absolute precision by AI, HRW and ICG.

Is it worth trying something without principles and convictions? No. Is it worth spending time over things one cannot change for the better? No. Will the GOSL ever be able to end strife, conflict, turmoil and uproar without grace to face the truth? No.

Obviously, the present attitude of the GOSL on Tamil matters is detrimental to reconciliation and development of both SL and TE in the island, and it is a lesson to learnt by the rest of the world.

UNP will never succeed with 'out of touch' politicians like Rosie Senanayake . Her main aim is to keep Ranil in power. It is a shame. Sajith , please take over.

Sajith has been fighting to lead the party for quite a while now. In the UK, Gordon Brown went on a similar mission to displace Tony Blair. He fought for at least 6 years but Blair kept going for 2 and half terms. when eventually Brown succeeded, he could last only 3 years, until the next election. Sajith has to be careful, he doesn't have to rush, there is no presidential election for another 6 years. He doesn't need to end up like Brown.

I respect Sajith as a great politician. He is yet to prove his status as a national leader. He hardly has come out of the Hambanthota district. And these infighting in the UNP inner circle is making severe damages to the party. Can't Sajith wait 3-4 years and contest against MR in the 2017 presidential elections?

Dear Mr. Premadasa. Yes, I'm sure you will be the right candidate to lead the UNP and march forward to defeat the present dictator style government. However, as RW is not stepping down making it obvious that he is a clown of the government, its time you and the rest form your own party and take it from there..Good luck.

Dear Sajith

If ur a true National Leader you should be able to get the support of all the UNP MP's and not a few of them.

Dont for get that ur father gave arms to the LTTE as well.

Why dont you call for a debate with Ravi Karunanayake and then let the public/ UNP decide who is more educated and has the vision to take the Leadership of the UNP

Tissa De Silva Tuesday, 26 October 2010 05:07 AM

Sajith,

You are displaying your inexperience and immaturity. Real leaders do not condemn their own colleagues. Abraham Lincoln has never condemned even an enemy. It is not too late yet, to learn from such great leaders.

Yoy were on the right path which was narrow. Unfortunately some stupid media has dumped you on the broader path which will take you nowhere.

The people who troubled your farther wont allow you to be a Leader so easily.

Well said!! When you become the leader, please ENSURE that these proxies will not have any voice within the party. These traitors have ruined the UNP. The rural folks hates them and they should not be allowed to go anywhere closer to them. It will only ruin your chances.
Good luck and all the best to you!

You are right Sajith. The damage caused by these ugly mouths of RW, Ravi K, Mangala and few other are huge and for UNP it looks a thing that can not be repaired for a long time. people criticize it badly but they do not walk and stand infront of the opposition since they don't believe it.
