Does our nation need psychological and spiritual counselling? Are we experiencing excruciating pains of growing up in our world of 'arrested modernisation' in which the democratic traditions are retarded by the advancement of politics of greed?

We seem to be at war with ourselves, fighting shadows of our own creation shadows whose producers lie in the past and in the present.

Our politics and the cross-cultural relationship we forge are like the plight of adolescents forced to grow up painfully.

We have so much to learn from the self, so many levels of fear and mistrust to rise above from, and so many moments of self-reflection to make in order to evolve from child-like politics to the age of illumination, enlightenment and wisdom.
