I read with interest the article on the British vote to leave the EU and make some observations. Chanakyaji advises that this is an ugly divorce and his sentiments seem to suggest that it is the British government who are making it messy. From the comments I hear from the EU, they want to make it hard or certainly not making it easy for Britain to go, smoothly.
The UK is not trading unchartered waters. It had traded with the world for centuries, it has only been in the last few decades of mainly the EU squeezing the world out of the UK; do remember that. This is the reason why the people of the UK have revolted! The French may have other ideas too. Who else thereafter? It is noted that the UK's trade with the EU is 40%plus and this could be rather damaging. Well it could be but this is a two way street. Will the EU countries want to jeopardise their economy? I do not think so.
Everyone wants growth. What are we growing? It seems it is our pockets and bellies but not our minds and souls. We are not at peace. Chanakyaji finds it sensible to know the devil we know. Really? So the EU is the devil also. Sitting in my ivory castle, I am able to see the Wembley Stadium arch and feel the anticipation and hopes. Sri Alpesh Patel is no doubt flying off somewhere again, matchmaking. So why worry. As someone a few years ago said....Yes We Can.
As the Rg Veda advises, there is change, always; and this may not be a bad thing.
