Vishontar, After having read your posts, my conclusion is you are a man with great spiritual intelligence. Definitely you have a good philosophy to lead a life. However, your remarks on some of the political issues are somehow I think not time-appropriate and not universal. I am not much of a religious person so I dare not share any ideas on it, but I think today’s world seeks a man of intelligence and sensibility than spirituality and (I hate to say but) peace loving. Everyday, starting from the morning, you hear news of violence all over the world. CNN and BBC preach peace by saying that what the Arab terrorists are doing is violent and US and company is there in the middle-east to maintain peace while, even a dog in the street knows that they are there for oil and Israel. Now tell me who is violent, the one who preach peace or the one who is shown being violent? Nepal became a country in 1768 AD by means of violence; Ranas got the power in 1854 AD by means of violence. These two events rooted the system of feudalism in every village and corners of Nepal that you can clearly see till today. Now tell me who taught those villagers that you can obtain power by scaring people? It was just a moment of somebody throwing a matchstick in a haystack, Maoists did it. Imagine what US would be like if they hadn’t picked up guns to fight the Brits. Do you think that the western world would be as rich and developed had they not advanced their weapon technologies in the 17th and 18th centuries. Having said that, I didn’t mean to support their ideas at all but it is essential to mention this in order to prove that if you want to achieve what you deserve, you try to get it one way or the other. And in Nepal, Prachanda and Baburam started the fight not for competition or development and richness; they started for the right to fight. Gandhi, :-p, is there any other example in this world left for these so called supporter of non-violence? 400 people were killed in a single day by British army on one of those non-cooperative protest launched by him. Can I not hold him responsible for the killing of those 400 people? Had he gone Subash Chandra Bose way, India would have been definitely happier today. Our society is dog-bite-dog, people have to fight for their everyday need, you fight, bI*tch, conspire to ride the ladder of success, your rights get violated everyday and you are telling people to launch a sit and protest or hunger strike program to have it back? For me it is more important to be sensible rather than religious or spiritual and to be able to choose whether or not to use violence than go Buddha or Gandhi way. Of course religious teachings make you more sensible but sensibility is even more important because it gives you knowledge to decide the time-appropriateness of using your power.
