A Conversation in Apathy

If words truly wove the fabric of reality, Maldivians have been passengers on vessels headed to fictitious egalitarian lands. The nation has stood witness to omnipotent declarations of surety and been party to governance that undeniably records more similarly to that of a monarchy than a republic. In short, this small populace has seemingly heard it all, and perhaps even seen it all - or not enough, depending on your personal stance.

The political rhetoric in the Maldives, so to speak, has waxed and waned from one colorful icon to the other, apparently leading to a point of disillusion; where an artfully raised eyebrow has become the most complex reaction alluded to the juiciest of political controversies.
