ASIA: Conversations with a chameleon (katussa) – some thoughts for 2014
As I wanted to discuss many things, and as I found no one
else to discuss these things with, I was happy to see you on a branch
of a tree in our garden. I told myself, “Ah, here is someone I can talk
to.”
As I approached and greeted you, you nodded to me in a friendly manner, which encouraged me to start this conversation with you.
There are many problems that we cannot talk about with human beings
these days. They no longer want to converse about things; they like to
keep the chatter to just saying “Hi” or talking about the weather, the
latest cricket match or a song or a film, none of which they care for
very much. It is as if they are trying to talk to avoid a meaningful and
good conversation.
"The whole state, the whole edifice of the rational state, is built on the basis of the belief that the relationship between the government and the people who are ruled by it is one which has meaning, and that rational communication between the two is possible."
