If you can hack it over there and have the contacts, go for it! 

I'm going home this year since it's been so long now. I will most likely travel to villages and all to see the condition since everything I know for now is mostly through what people from back home post on social media. Let's see how bad the condition is.

You're still trapped in the stage where life follows the 3-act Hollywoodisation / dramatisation of reality. Where someone's serious deficiencies and flaws can be explained due to a "tragic" origin story. That's not reality. That's a big cope we cling to when we're unwilling to accept certain truths that have the potential to rock our foundations to the core.

There are a lot of what you mention here too. It's true many sociopaths/narcissists come from privileged backgrounds.  But a lot are products of harsh, tough upbringings. Sustained brutal experiences can exacerbate genetic predilections. It's not hollywood. It's how some brains respond to brutality and cold upbringings.

It's probably a dysfunction or genetic condition which makes their amygdala and prefrontal cortex areas of their brain (or other areas that process emotions/empathy) not fully functioning. So they mimic grief because they can see they are supposed to, without feeling any.   

So how come so many of our people back home are like this? Like what is the reason? Or is it that most people in the world are this way?

Maybe, natural selection? Maybe most spiritual/empathetic Singhs achieved shaheedi, and in the harsh conditions of our past, a certain wily selfish, sociopathic type was most likely to survive and even thrive? They passed their genes down, and then the harsh conditions of recent Panjab activates genetic dispositions? 

So a culture developed around this too. Dog eat dog. You see similar in lots of ghettos around the world.

From family relatives few remaining and most gone, and others stories, advice given to me was no matter what never never trust anyone. Don't expect anything in return if you do something goodwill for someone. Keep your guards up, don't get too emotionally attached but bottom line, never trust anyone. Majority don't have the same heart, good intentions as you might have so have 0 expectations from ppl..blood or not.

This makes a lot of sense. No wonder all Sikh politicians are this way and a majority of people act in this way too. The good sikhs have become shaheed and are long gone. Isnt this why its important to do parchaar now? To get good people into sikhi.

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
