Xi kultant ma naghtix tort lill-poplu Malti li jkun mifxul ma jafx x’se jaqbad jemmen, meta jghidulu affarijiet li huma litterament l-oppost ta’ xulxin. Li l-bnedmin ma jaqblux kollha bejniethom hija normali u kif jghidu, “mitt bniedem mitt fehma”. Imma lil’hinn mill-fehmiet personali tal-individwu, hemm il-fatti. Suppost fatt huwa uniku u ma tistax iddawru. Jekk cirku hu tond, ma jistax jigi wiehed u jghid li hu kwadru. Jekk persuna mietet, ma jista jigi hadd u jghid li ghadha mimlija bl-ghomor. Imma sfortunatament f’Malta dan it-tahwid jezisti wkoll. F’din il-pagna hawn diversi dikjarazzjonijiet li huma migburin tnejn tnejn u li jidhru b’mod car li jikkontradixxu lil xulxin. Inhalli f’idejn il-qarrejja biex jiggudikaw huma liema dikjarazzjoni hija korretta. Jekk thossukom imhawdin b’dawn il-konflitti … nikkumpatikom!!
