They only thought about themselves and that is why I call them the ‘islanders’ and us the people as the ‘ocean dwellers’. They live peacefully on their islands yet leave us, the people, to deal with ‘our seas of troubles’ in the ocean. What happens on the islands that they live in (whether home or abroad) is quite different from what happens to us in the sea of troubles that they have created for us. How can they be the tacklers of our problems when we are the ocean dwellers, and they live in a separate world on their own islands? But now that the hardcore politics of status quo has finally been substituted, their manmade islands may finally merge with the deep ocean of problems in which all of us live.
