You are afraid of the word.seong619 said:I'm gonna be honest.
I'm afraid.


sri_lion said:Athula can I ask you a question!
I understand you have a kid right?
Suppose you live in Wanni and you are a successful businessman and your kid gets kidnapped by LTTE for a big ransom... and the amount they ask is perfectly fine with you, you can just pay it off without a problem!
What would you do?
~v3n0m~ said:Some sobs like you are supporting terrorism why?? because you don't afraid of terrorism??
definitely you are... But your leaders don't. cos they have the protection what ever is happening.
you get the heroic word from them and start to repeat. WE ARE NOT AFRAID OF TERRORISM.. WOW!
but the truth is, if our gov and the army didn't fight against terrorist...
you have a lot of brothers and sisters speaking tamil out of the box
so have some respect.. for the people who saved yours and your parent's asses..

AtulaSiriwardane said:What is wrong If I would...
A child to a father is more valuable than money...
But I would be happier if I can get him back without paying the ransom, even if I had money.
It would only be different If I am the king... for he has to think of the country and political aspects of it.
Terrorist is a psychopath, yes. That means he is sick.
Why do you afraid of a sick person.?
No Even if he is a monk if the kid is kidnapped, I need him back.sri_lion said:But you said..
So you are infact afraid of your child's condition in the hands of a psychopath right?
AtulaSiriwardane said:80 percent who voted are not afraid.
Terrorism is not removed.
There is terrorism in Elakiri too.
You have seen it in threads.
I am not afraid of terrorism because I am not afraid of death.
I understand Anatta
and I know that the moment of death
can't be changed.
I am not afraid
because of my practice of Vipassana...
I understand fear
and fear won't overcome me.
I am grateful to Buddha.
Its him saved me.






AtulaSiriwardane said:No Even if he is a monk if the kid is kidnapped, I need him back.
If anything has happened to him while he is in the custody of that guy,
I wouldn't be worried.
I don't worry over anything which has already happened.
I have my conclusions and actions responding to them... but no worries.
sri_lion said:No dont go back now, everybody knows there's nothing you can do after something happens, that's not what I'm asking here!
You've already said you would pay the ransom and free your child... why? what's the root cause?
You already said a child is valuable more than money? so at least in this instance that sense of value/care/love is triggered by what?

AtulaSiriwardane said:I won't be terrified.
It is only a deal.
I need him because it is my responsibility.
In that case who ever the kidnapper
my outlook will be same.
A child to a father is more valuable than money...
sri_lion said:So what you said here...
is just responsibility without love?
