POLITICS IN OUR COUNTRY- TODAY.

Politics always has been a messy broth, and there isn't any politician who tried to taste this broth has ever come out of the kitchen without spilling it on their clothes. There are many countries in the word, and there might be slight differences in the way each of those countries handle political matters,but if we look close enough we can see underneath the red carpet it's the same corrupted system. So Srilanka is also in the same boat.

Srilanka's current political situations have been heated up by last year's victory over the Tamil tigers and by the recent presidential election. I must say, I never liked politics that much and I never will, it's a very confusing subject,and I can't imagine the weight a president have to put up with for his or her country. We all are human, no one is divine, so who ever rules there is some kind of corruption within him.Being a president or a minister doesn't mean that they are super human. This is why I like President Mahinda Rajapaksha Not like other leaders we had in the past, he did his duty, he ended the war, 30 years of sufferings. I just can't believe that now some of our people have forgotten all. I'm not taking sides here, I'm not saying that presidential candidate Genaral Sarath Fonseka is not good enough for the seat, but we must admit that the better candidate was Mahinda Rajapaksha, he has the experience and courage to rule this country. People might say that he never faught in the war,he didn't shed his blood for the people and Fonseka did,so he deserves every thing. Well, that is the point isn't it?, why does one man become a president and the other a soldier? that is because as I said before we are not super human.If the president had to fight and take care of other issues at the same time, would he have been able to do any thing? He did his part as a president by providing all the neccessities to end a war, he put up with all the negative feedbacks from powerful countries and still remained strong, if he knelt in front of them, we would never have gained this victorious peace that we have now ?.And for the General, he also did his duty well by fighting and ending the war, and if we are going to respect the soldiers we must also respect him for what he did.

Now ,the problem is that the government is not magnanimous in their victory, and the opposition party is not humble in their defeat. But it shouldn't be a surprise to any one, because this is the way that the world goes around for years now, and no one can stop it. Just think for a moment, do you think if the presidency went to the hands of Sarath Fonseka the situation would be different? Both of them are men, and the government would also be controlled by humans, they all have the lust for power, so which ever party comes to power corruption won't end,because it's not the fault of the system but the people in it.

And now, Fonseka have been arrested for giving out military information. I'm not going to be critical on that action, because the law is law,he should have thought before he jumped. But the thing is, there's a lot of information about politics kept from the civilians, so it's hard to decide who's right or wrong. My idea is that if he didn't come to politics , he would have been held in high esteem now, even by the government. Some might say that he was arrested because he told the truth. what he said was that the secretary of defence ordered the Tigers to be shot when they came to surrender.Even that is the truth or not, I'm not really against that because I don't think that if they some how lived we would have been able to gain any peace, It is better to destroy every root, because if we don't they are always going to grow back.

I'm actually glad that President Mahinda Rajapaksha was re-elected, he was the better candidate any way. And I don't think that Fonseka would have been able to live up to the people's expectations because he is just a toddler when it comes to politics. Politicians always give faulse promises, they just can't stop it even if they want to. So we should know how to work to make our lives better than always depending on a government. Which ever party you are in, that is the only way to secure your future. and people must understand that which ever party comes to power, corruption is never going to end.

PLASTIC SURGERY

People have been practicing this type of surgery for a long time now, but it has never been this much popular ever before. In the past, plastic surgeries were done to cover up small cuts, bruises, and burns. But today the situation is very different. People can not only cover up small parts of their bodies but they also can change their whole appearance through plastic surgery
Nowadays majority of the people are so eager to stay forever young, so they always try to find the easy way out,and the easiest way to look good is to rely on these cosmetic surgeries. but that is of course if you have a large amount of money and property. In a way these surgeries can actually help people in different ways.If you consider a man or a woman who got burnt in an accident or someone who got ugly scars because of a horrible incident, they can regain their looks and continue their lives without being mentally depressed.
But the point is that rather than for essential reasons ,people do plastic surgeries on themselves just to enhance their beauty and their figure. We can see this happening mostly in the celebrity world.
whatever the reason, plastic surgeries are still ' plastic'. They are not natural. Even after doing a plastic surgery the war does not end, one must constantly keep his or her eye on for any bad effects of the surgery by taking various kinds of drugs and other types of medication. So it's really poisoning the human body. So my opinion is that people should always consider natural means to protect their beauty and figure. In that way people can look and feel good without facing bad consequences. Plastic surgeries are a waste of time and money. Some even can cause death if they are not properly done. If you ask me, I'm really not ready to risk my whole life just to look pretty for the picture.
