I have heard a story of a beggar, who lived under a huge banyan tree near by a town. Every day he had very tight schedule. In the morning he used to go for begging, eat food, drink alcohol, and have sunbath. Alcohol and lovely sun of winter made him to fall asleep. At night when severe cold of winter penetrated his heart, he strongly felt for the fire and regretted for spending days uselessly. He promised with himself to be more cautious and mindful in the next day, and planned to collect firewood and light fire. Day broke, he went for begging, bought food and alcohol and fed himself, went for sunbath, and fell asleep. Again night arrived with freezing cold; he went through all the phases of regret, promises, and plans for the next day. Time flew, nothing changed in his life. None of his nights could change his days; eventually one night he slept forever. It is really difficult to change one. Tremendous amount of effort is required to change oneself. Except little exception, incidences in life are not able to change a person. Person feels strongly for change when the trouble falls on him/her but slowly becomes unmindful once the trouble is over. This applies to majority of the world. To change one's own habit pattern is one of the most difficult tasks ever. Don't just believe me; examine yourself and accept the truth. You need to have relatively clean mind to be changed by incidences. One of such examples was Siddartha Gautama, a prince who strongly felt that there is misery in life by seeing miserable incidences. If you really understand the problem, then it can be anticipated that you may get the solution. Siddartha recognized the problem as a problem, strived to find its solution and found it. He changed himself and became Buddha. We all know that there is misery in life, but that understanding can not inspire us to do what Siddhartha did. All I mean is incidences in life doesn't have enough strength to change the majority of people. Leaders! You have been saying that you have done mistakes in last 14 years and you will not repeat those mistakes again. However I know from my own experience that it is really difficult to change oneself. Yogis wouldn't be leaving for jungle if they could easily change themselves. Aforementioned story of the beggar applies to majority of the people of the world and how can Nepalese politician be exceptional? How will you overcome your greed when suitcase of millions is opened in front of you? How will you get new ideas, and new techniques, and effective new plans that you couldn't get for last 14 years? How will you overcome your lifelong lying habit? Is this mistake strong enough to change you from immoral to moral? Is this mistake has caliber to tackle with your selfishness, your pride, your superiority complex? The mistake you have admitted doesn't have any strength. You admitted the mistake just for formality and to adapt the situation. I will give you one example. Mr. Deuba said once, Pajero privilege was a mistake. His wife was interviewed next, and she said he didn?t mean that. He was tired of giving explanations that's why he admitted. Who else can know Mr. Deuba better than Ms. Deuba? He is not really sorry for that. He lied to the people and said that he is sorry, just to close the chapter. Can anyone of you claim that you are better than Deuba? If yes, under what ground? You always speak to adapt the situation but you do only the things of your interest. (This is just an example Deuba Ji shouldn't take personally) In the story, beggar was tortured by cold so he regretted for his mistake. Here you are tortured by nothing. You are among the most privileged people of the country. What can make me to believe that you are regretting for your mistake? Do you want me to believe that your heart get melted for more than 11000 people who have died in the silly war, and that is causing you to be changed? Be shameful to say so, many people have died when you were in charge. If you are not exceptional human being, you won't be regretting. People regret only when they lose something, you lost nothing to regret about. Confession is just a tear of crocodile. All you lost was the power and this drama of confession of mistake is motivated by the greed to get it back. Let me see whether you can make fool of Nepalese people this time too. Cont......
