    I mean when the government is involved, we know who the bureaucrat is. I mean when it no longer matters like in east Ukraine for the government thing, do we trust that the man's got a good deal for eventually VOTING IN THAT MUSHARRIF/BHOTTA type regime.THis should be a philosophical question, I believe.

    Caste belongings involved too, hmmm.

    Musharrif and Bhota were nothing at all to do with Hinduism. That was all in Pakistan, which is an Islamic country.

    The Bhagavad Gita, one of the principal texts of Indian philosophy, says that anger is a great enemy of the soul, and of all who aspire to consciousness. Anger, born of passion, which comes from desire of the ego. The teaching of Sri Krishna is that one should strive for a state of dis-passion, free from both desire and anger, it's eternal concomitant.

    The caste system is altogether an evil thing, and most of the prominent spiritual personalities of modern India have spoken out against it.

    i would certainly second the gita as to anger being the enimy of the soul. i just wish i didn't ever have to permit myself to look angry, to convince some people i was real.

    i suppose i have too much desire for a world people didn't mess up for each other to not be angered by aggressiveness.
