Interesting reading,doc. Bombardment of a molten ball by external meteors. We could extrapolate the future face of Goa if we take this model and apply the impact of migrants from the neighbouring states. The molten matter leaving the ball to impact on other molten balls would have to be factored in too.
However,relative scale and the human tribe must also be taken into account. A small number of Goans would not cause a major change in the face of say the United States. But a relatively larger number of migrants settling in the tiny state of Goa has the potential to change the scenario drastically. As a people presently populating Goa as Goans, we, irrespective of our ancient origins, will resist the discomfort and sometimes anguish that comes with such an upheaval. Of course, the correct way to go about controlling adverse effects like the proliferation of slums,crime rate increase,etc is to tighten law and order and maintain a strict civil discipline. It is easy to fall into a xenophobic state of mind, but Goans must resist that feeling. But resist we must, the negative energies that come from the outside. A meteor can seed a planet with life or it can bring in a deadly virus. To continue with your metaphor, a lukewarm ball with indifferent energy will not withstand the impact of foreign meteors. Only if the ball itself is burning bright, through a Renaissance of social, cultural and political activity , will it melt the incoming meteors and symbiotically use their energies to grow. ---- Regards, Jose Lourenco __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
