We (no) quarrel over NO Corals

1 i like to dedicate this essay for the people who die for conserving coral and staying away from quarrels


Back in 1995, in the third year of the University of Peradeniya, we were taken to a few specific locations of the southern part of our country, for a field trip. One of the places that we went through was Hikkaduwa and we were given chances to view ‘Coral Reef’. I did not get in to the boat because I was afraid but others had no such Phobia, I saw, were enjoying happily. Even after, I remember they discussing it with smiles and amazement
Hikkaduwa is one of the tourists attract places known globally. And in every season Hikkaduwa is full of visitors and travelers of local and international. The side businesses apart from the main businesses related to tourism brings additional notes and currencies to the livelihoods of the people of that area.
What is the most beautiful word coral or quarrel?  who supports corals and who oppose quarrels? interesting to know. this essay is not a psychological analysis or scientific analysis. i thought it is good to talk about something that i have not tried to learn reading materials available. i know that OCEAN is a wealth for this universe, many depends on its resources and Sailors bring things in and take things out, Travelers and Traders fond of exploring Ocean and its routes not only today but also in the history of entire expeditions and travels    
How corals bring money, I guess I do not have to explain. Corals, not like quarrels give pleasure and happiness to the eyes of those who fond of diving or observing the corals as a hobby or as a person who loves this universe we live.
Corals not like quarrels, there are plenty of things to learn, not only for ocean scientists or any other non scientists or young scientists.
did i say that you can not learn things from quarrels. i am wrong. we all can learn things from corals but you lose more than you earn from quarrels and the percentage of what you gain from quarrels are comparatively very very less. and i guess you do not have to quarrel and learn because this universe is full of lessons of all types. what is lacking in this universe if you think of learning something. can't you learn something from the quarrels and battles of history here or there , in any part of the globe?
we live in a country where you read and write very well meaning, literacy rate high compared to some of the communities of the globe. so i am sure that all who live in this big society called Sri Lanka knows the difference between corals and quarrels, a woman like me do not have to write anything about it.  i am extremely sorry if i have written anything to hurt anyone i like to analyze things keeping my head and brain in a moderate position rather than going in to any of the extreme corners. 
Do not forget Deshaya ( mother land ) is different and opposite to the literal meaning of the word dweshaya (Hate / Anger) any Deshaya which has Coral reefs is beautiful according to my knowledge others do not look at coral reefs in a anger way or Dweshayen other than out friends visit Sri Lanka to see coral reefs because they value them. 
to gain a single dose of calmness, dear friends i suggest you all to visit Hikkaduwa and other places. please view the map to get an idea.           
Quarrels bring no peace but corals no need to say bring not only peace and harmony to ones inner sides psychologically and some currencies economically. Continuous research would help to protect corals reefs of the ocean in any part of the continents and to conserve bio diversities of the complex and decaying ( sorry to write) universe we live. compare things of past and now. what are we having now? what percentage is remaining and of what. do you think that all the corals that were there about a decade ago still exists there? No     
Corals are also subject to decay, though it is very sad to know.  The corals die, obeying the rule of the universe;
‘Every born and created, crafted or manufactured are subject to decay’
Not only the ones who quarrel over nothing mostly, often for silly things. And rest in what peace, finally with empty minds and empty hands, in a six feet or less sized coffin. what bag or container can we carry on the days of the farewells of human beings  
Thank goodness that quarrels are also subject to this reality of ‘dying’ not sustaining or long lasting for ever. i.e. all wars in Germany or in Sri Lanka or in any part of the world, in Vietnam, in Burma, Afghanistan had a beginning and an End. View history of these countries. Do not worry if you find any minor or big disputes in any parts of the world, will vanish (lets pray) like bubbles but what last is peace not like corals but like good hearts ( lets pray) 
Corals bring some extra income to those who manufacture ‘Jewelries’ using corals. And my question is what garland can be made or crafted of a quarrel other than from a beautiful coral that is harvested without harming.
Replanting corals are excellent but not quarrels, thank goodness!
Replanting or sawing seeds we do in cultivation ‘NO quarrel cultivation is required in this universe we live. cultivate good wills and harvest good hearts. i know nothing is easier because we have to deal with a huge society with various mind sets and values and attitudes. you find all sort of people some may adjust your mind and brain while some others trying to harm it or trying to include poisons in to your mind. 
carefully analyze what i say. we do not have to hurry and come to conclusions. we need to understand 'people's objectives and aims in the public arenas sometimes to understand their wants and needs in a broader sense.  those who spoil and try discard corals should be punished  
For some quarrels bring additional income in to the pockets and accounts of personal but them also subject to decay and die ‘who knows how’? Perhaps God Knows.
How to earn and lose money from quarrels is easy.  (please give no importance to ‘how the sentences are structured )
You quarrel while others steal your corals

You quarrel while others destroying your corals and then you have to invest all your money to restore corals if you think of protecting corals 
You quarrel while others make necklaces from corals and catch the markets, global
Some burn corals stupidly while some others adding something to worsen any discarding of corals  
What colour that you can not find within a reef or communities of corals? You find all colour ranges of all parties and old parties

Can you observe any isolated corals though you can find slight distances between each coral. The quarreled are normally distanced and should get no awards but let’s rehabilitate those who involved like we replant corals. Actually, the individuals and groups or institutions those who fight against the people who are polluting and discarding the corals should be awarded and appreciated not prosecuted.

let's save this universe for the children of this universe , for the children yet to be born
