One day Moses came down from Mount Arafat and gave the world the 10 Commandments.
Then some Mahatma of Christian faith gave us 8 deadly sins (Shoot.. did we not have enough of numbers and things to be scared of? Have you not seen books like 5 ways to riches, 7 things to do to avoid bankcruptcy, 9 things you must do before you kick the bucket, 6 lessons to learn about divorce, 11 reasons to kill your mother in law etc.,etc..)???.
A kind pope thought that 7 was a lucky number and concluded that avarice could be combined with another deadly sin. So, better make it 7 deadly sins instead of 8. Thanks to this Pope we have only 7 Deadly Sins...
As I understand life, there are only 3 deadly sins.
These are lack of education or knowledge, lack of compassion and then lack of drive or motivation.
These 3 deadly sins lead to all other sins that religions tells us about.
I am assuming that your cultural values are in place. So while Culture, Religion etc are in place, these are the three things (knowledge, compassion and drive) that you MAY be in control of..These will set you free...
What you are not in control of should not bother you anyway...right?
Today is 31st May of 2010., It is Baby Chachaji’s birthday (Ravi Saxena, my uncle and well loved one at that)..
I dedicate this post to him. Age is just a number. I pray that for Baby Chachaji and for all whom I know, age come slowly, gracefully and with health.
Those who give love to others, get it back in multiples.
Prayers and Best Wishes.
Namaskaar.

you hit it spot on. for a better part of the last 45 years or so, since i was first introduced to it, i have been waiting to put my knowledge of the pi into practice. i mean when am i going to ever get to use it? no woman ever asked me to measure her circumference as yet. and if it isn't bad enough trying to remember 22/7, some smart alec had gone and introduce 24/11 and 7/11.
ReplyDeleteDear Khun Somboon,
ReplyDeleteIn Malaysia, you know that Pi means a Sardar Ji or a Sikh (gentle???) Man. So I think you have enough experience with Pi(s).
On the issue of what ladies have offered you, well I think keep on trying...Who knows when you may hit the jackpot ???
Ciao...VK
