Things will always be in shit

Change is an intrinsic part of Nature. Nothing stays the same. This principle applies to everything from bacteria to suns and planets.

In matters of public affairs, change should always be in the service of the people. State institutions are ideally established to serve, not a select group of people, but everybody that makes up a country. (and in the broader context, the World)

When people fighting for justice are ostracized, and when truth becomes treason, we are impeding change that is good; change that will ultimately serve everybody, even those who are alienating reformers.

When we outlaw free speech we are denying the very nature of what it is to be human, and choosing instead to remain prisoner of past customs and taboo. A country cannot move forward when it is chained to an iron ball.

I think what happened was that a long time ago some people jumped into a pool of shit. Since then, they did everything they possibly could to ensure that future generations do not come out of it.

Today, We've gotten used to the shit spewed from the mouths of our leaders, and take comfort in the constant whiffs of it we get while going about our daily lives. Such time has passed that we've forgotten it is in fact in shit we're swimming in!

Here I declare that I've lost faith in the Maldivian people. I've been on the verge of losing it for a while now, and it's finally come to pass. I don't know what made me cross over, I don't think it was just one thing. But it feels good not to care.

So, swim away, my friends! But I will still take the ocassional shit on your shit.
