Sri Lankan Sayings
Whilst living and traveling in Sri Lanka I found there was one question that all Sri Lankans loved to ask when faced with problems and challenges, "What is the Life?"Okay so it's not grammatically correct but everyone can understand the meaning of the question. I have often debated this topic with my fellow expat Professor Jo and until today I had no real clarity on the subject.
Today, I finally have the answer to the question asked by so many Sri Lankans and the answer is.......
The Purpose of Life
Life is a Chinese Take Away! It's sweet and sour, sometimes it's amazing, tangy, sweet delicious and when you crunch into it and really fully enjoy it, you feel warm and fuzzy inside and glad to be alive. Sometimes it's crap and you realise you've ordered from a really bad food store and as a result you suffer for days with terrible vomiting and diarrhoea. Until all the bad food has been removed and purged from your system, there's no way you can face another take away. It takes a while before you are ready to try more sweet and sour and even then there are no guarantees it will always be good.Get To Know Sri Lanka
