You always shout that you and your people have pride. One should not challenge another's pride or the warrior in them will rise.
How come then with the world watching, you slipped on the very banana skin that you threw down for others? The irony of all these gaffes and stupidity is that you no longer have a pride. Just a desperate man fighting for survival and the survival of your kind.
One can simply sweep things under the carpet in one's own house. But with the blinds half closed and the curtains half drawn, outsiders could very well see the shenanigans that's happening inside.
Immunity from prosecution once removed. Could this long carrot be enticing enough? It was once believe that maybe, just maybe there is some pride left. Maybe that offer would be taken up. But recent events has shown that its no longer possible. Probability is as low as the country being classed as a developed nation.
We may have first world infrastructure but our mentality is still stuck in the 2nd to third. So much potential, all in waste because of a few men or a woman's greed.
I feel much ashamed and embarrassed.
