gHari Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 That was a good lesson in bad communication. So many words to say "Get them married". I wonder how many people will actually lose interest in the article in frustration before really finding out what it tried to say. I skipped past a zillion huge mountains of words, searching for the answer to their introductory teasing riddle, only fortunate to spot it near the end. If I hadn't caught it on the first pass, I was out of there in total frustration. They shouldn't presume that their readers are interested enough in their speclations that they will wait that long. I also think it will benefit to financially support the sane clerics of Islam. We now hear of billions being ear-marked for defence. It has to be much cheaper and more humanitarian to make real Islam more accessible to the lamer-brained folks. But yes, give those losers a life; a life they will think twice about losing. Islam herself must now take action against these renegade jihad ministers, before the entire world completely writes off Islam as totally demoniac.<font color="#f7f7f7"> [This message has been edited by gHari (edited 12-15-2001).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dharma Posted December 16, 2001 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 If it got some readers in touch with their lack of concentration, frustration, impatience and complaining nature then it served an even greater purpose I suppose.

gHari Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 Too much mundane info for me. I will be satisfied with only the communication effectiveness lesson. And the insightful bit about marriage. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarun Posted December 17, 2001 Report Share Posted December 17, 2001 Good idea. Vedik base. When his passion's quieted, he's freed of sin. All 4 varNas marry - gRhastha. 1) Zudras can only experience one azram - gRhastha. 2) Vaizyas 2 - brahmacari, gRhastha 3) Xatriyas 3 - brahmacari, gRhastha, vanaprastha 4) BrAhmaNas - all 4... Or if they opt, only 2: 1st => 4th ~ brahmacari bypass. It's now 2am in NYC. I'm watching PBS Channel 13. Well done documentary interviewing Israeli & Palestinian kids. Much hate on both sides till they met each other face to face. Then all hate subsided, friendship grew, parting brought tears. pov@pbs.org or search 'pov' with aol.
