Today is the International Day of Living Together in Peace According to Greek legend, Sisyphus has the wretched task of rolling a huge boulder up a hill. Just as he gets to the top, the boulder comes tumbling down and Sisyphus begins his labours all over again, continuing for eternity. But what if, as he climbs up that hill, Sisyphus actually believes that this time he can reach the top instead of having the boulder fall back down? Sri Lanka’s peace builders and activists striving for a pluralistic society where people accept, respect and appreciate each other’s differences must surely be like the Sisyphus who believes that this time he will succeed.
