Guest guest Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Not sure who your message was directed at Ms. Sharma, but let me hazard a response :-) Neither the message nor the words are important, but the need to understand and the effort made therefore to understand! This is so true for something like jyotish even more so. The texts were nearly all written in flowery verse, not prose (!) and were pithy, at times convoluted, subject to variable interpretation and certainly were not written for grade 7 or 8 level as most modern magazines require their authors to aim at! Surely jyotish can be written that way too, and the literature is replete with books, booklets, pamphlets and articles and many messages too. How well those 'work' would be something individuals would need to examine. Perhaps jyotish and obfuscation go hand in hand, some peanut gallery critics would say, perhaps natural selection is at work <guffaw!> RR , Shailla Sharma <shaillasharma wrote: > > > > Try saying things in simple language. Your message is hidden, behind the reams of flowery words, and lost. The most effective prose is that which is direct, simple and to the point. Is it the message or the words which are the point of it all? > > > Need a vacation?
