bump

I'm sure talikhaak has a reason for bumping this article.....

I ended up reading all of it cos everyone seemed really pleased with it. Now this will probably sound rude but I did not like this article as I found it very whishy washy.

Also I barely noticed the women point and even now have no idea what that means. All in all I was disappointed as I was expecting something more.

bhainjee, what don't you understand, and whats so wishy washy about it?

[sitargirl]

Veerji I wrote a reply and when I pressed post the website logged me out. Incidently I lost that reply so I am gonna keep this short. Also I am very stressed at the moment so I am sorry if this sounds rude.

The article for me merely a piece of flowerly language. I was expecting something different.

Let me illustrate what I mean by this. PINK=FLOWERY

Every beautiful flake of snow, has a structure different to the next. Infinity plays its tune in everything, that is the hand of the infinite that created and creates all, ceaselessly. We confine this endlessness into a narrow alley way, that only the elite can squeeze into.

We cannot see the flood, the torrent that cleanses the dirt away. All we see is the stagnant pool of our thoughts, ever producing an odour that only the cannibals, ghosts and ghouls enjoy bathing in.

Now lets read the whole post taking out flowery things like snowflakes or metaphors of cannibals...if u remove this throughout the ENTIRE article u have nothing left...its all flowery and any comments are subjective...

I feel this article is highly subjective and it is nothing more than a diplomatic rant.

Just to point out I don't mind flowery stuff or diplomacy unless its actually got some factual basis. For me this piece is so subjective that I feel I could take the same examples and put another perspective on them. Basically I expected something amazing but I felt it wasn't. Other people may disagree.. but my own take was that there was very little for me to learn once I took the flowery out.

It basically does not have an eternal quality which means I cannot repeat the same article 3000 or 4000 years later. In that sense its not exactly a teaching piece..also for me already bits don't make sense. I'm sorry but that was my take on it. Feel free to disagree but I'm just saying it was too flowery, so wishy washy and subjective that I did not think it was great.

sitar girls made the best point so far

This article is BEATUIFULLY written a real piece of poetry

But really it's a political rant.....

beautiful..............when "self-proclaimed" intelligence tries to make sense of purity, the result will always result in anarchy and confusion.......

This article has a strange colour combination

I personally believe that the amount of truth in a piece of writing is judged by how much it hurts. The more it hurts the more truth it is.

i don't know who kamalroop singh is but i agree with sitagirl, the flowery text reduces the impact of the article.

if you want to have a look at a proper written piece about the truth. Have a look at the zafarnama written by guru gobind singh ji.

A masterpiece written with skills above common knowledge, to strike one of the greatest emperors at the time; in a place where it really hurts.

Guru ji totally destroyed Aurangzeb mind and instantly brang fear to him.....

anyways

this article has inspired me to attempt to write something too, so i can face the critical responses of the knowledgeble sangat

i will get word to check my spellings, worry not :upid:
