Exactly however Guru Ji would not be crying about it but would be assertive, angry and disappointed in these Sikhs he would be urging Sikhs to fix up, get tough, help each other before you help those who do not believe in what you believe. 

Solutions and not self pitty is what Guru Ji would instruct us and is instructing us if we look back in our history and scriptures.

never said they were tears of sadness or self-pity ...but TRUE and Justifiable ROS  for us disregarding his order to support the garib sikhs as our own blood

We've become excessively docile and compliant. The aura of ankh and the fear-factor that was once our trademark has greatly diminished. Now, we play at those ideals; it's hollow posturing and a nostalgic harking back to those days, but there's nothing beneath the bluster. We're just so eager to please and disarm the other, even if it means putting ourselves on the backfoot and disregarding that which should never be compromised.

That figurative law of the jungle (that dictates the pecking order of various "tribes" in society) is fast becoming a system that is alien to us. Even with the janta back home there's very little of that edge to them that was ever present even as recently as a couple of decades ago. The problem is they're exposed -- via the connected digital world -- to the exact influences that have successfully done a number on the West, and when one observes them developing those same behavioural patterns and lax attitudes that have run roughshod over the western consciousness for the past 30 or 40 years, it brings it home how we're teetering on the edge of oblivion. Sikhs are great at fighting amongst ourselves, entrenching divisions, and pulling each other down for personal gain, but when a hostile outside force comes knocking, then our desire to accommodate knows no bounds.

Regarding your last point.

We have everything done inversely. 

How we can change that mentality, I do not know.

Things have to change externally as well as internally.

just have illustrate just how SInghs of old handled others  without giving up an inch of their own personality, ethics, character, or faith to fit into others agenda. Otherwise we going to see more of these scenes with apne not helping us but pushing us back into the maelstrom :

watch the two turbans in the left hand of the screen

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
