Guest guest Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 I'm just putting this up to introduce the new title of the thread. Use this email from now on for this thread. (Note: this is a joke I'm making) Reason: It's funny to watch someone with what I could call Christio-NewAgio idea of God to meet Hindus of the various types, and there are various types of Hindus when it comes to "God", so to watch Patty dear meet them is really funny, and vice versa...them deal with her....it's alot like tea parties the British had with their servants years ago on the lawns in India...very confused discussions, like two different planets meeting...

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Hi Patricia, Thanks for the clarification. While life is breathing and blowing and shining and filling, I would have pegged you as New Age, too. Go figure. Unfortunately, since most of us are so burdened with life's demands and our own universe with ourselves and our families as the bodies with the greatest gravitation pull, it is quite frequent that we "box" people. Or place them in the general vicinity of an identifiable box. Not much time, or interest usually, in being able to do much more than that. I can understand your desire not to be brushed off. Burns my blood when it's done to me. I hate being 'grouped' with others. I've got a thing about being special (though, sadly, in my case it is usually not deserved), so I understand. But perhaps one "lead by example" way of protesting being boxed, would be to not start your rant by boxing Das in the "undeep" box. You would be just as wrong as him, both in the doing and in the box you chose for him. It is completely acceptable to declare yourself deep without having to make any comparisons. Because you are either deep or you're not, irrespective of anyone or everyone else. ;-) --- Patricia Robinett <patricia wrote: > das is smart and funny and cute and entertaining but > not all that terribly deep. > i'm deep -- very deep -- but not skilled with > people. > > so das has put me in a box. he 'typecasts'. fine. > but i do not care to be typecast.
