We do not listen because we can not listen. We have different agendas. Issues such as war and Peace, politics are our passe- temps favoris – to lighten our hearts while we get our evening drink, to shed a tear or two, to be emotional……… and to show-off.
And Shylock, it’s because of our Pariah mentality, we can not see the simple things in front of our eyes. Why see what the IC wants us to see?

Corrupted Politician, living under tight security, running the the country! Once a pride state… is now “Pariya” state.
