Dear Sapthajihva and Similar Friends,
My criticizing friends, do you honestly think that there is anything positive in the words that you speak against me? Do you think that by continuously scoffing at my words that you will dimish their glory? Just because you cannot understand them does not mean that they are ambiguous, false, or otherwise.
This is suppose to be an "intelligent" forum filled with holy brahmins, but as I see it it is filled with much ignorance.
Correct yourselves, my friends, if you wish to be seen as gentleman. Thus far, all your words have been barbaric, primitive, and uncivilized.
I am not your enemy.
Arthur
hi arthur,
it is my privilege to post this note to you. hope you don't mind.
maybe or maybenot that i come under your definition of 'Dear Sapthajihva and Similar Friends'. not sure about that, since saptha and me are most often at different ends of the spectrum re philosophical and social stands (no insult meant to saptha, i respect him.).
but, i feel an emotion in all your posts, and hence, inspite of myself, i am forced to pen this note. i hope you don't mind.
i wish to let you know that your words are enigmatic. the beauty of jesus, was that he spoke the language of the common man ie aramaic and not latin, the lingo of the ruling roman class. so did buddha, who opted for prakrit.
to me, your posts, resonate more of an higher english that i cannot decipher. they are too enigmatic, and i simply do not understand.
maybe other members do not understand them either. hence their reaction which you term as 'scoff'
re 'this formum of intelligent holy brahmins', i beg to differ. broadly speaking, we are neither intelligent, nor holy and our brahminism (whatever that means in your jargon) can be questioned by every streetwalker you know.
however, this part, is my sole opinion, as i am quite sure, many here fit to a 'T' your definition of holy and brahminism, though, maybe not together. this is something, i hope, will ravel, as this thread progresses through its own destined path.
re the words of members being, 'barbaric, primitive and uncivilized;, don't you think it is a little too extreme to describe 'ignorance, custom bound and perchance some impotence thrown in there' ?
i can assure you those members i know, are neither barbaric or primitive, though i could, in certain instances, concede to the 'uncivilized' part. some of us members, including myself on occassions can be termed as காட்டான்.
if you ever wish to challenge this, prior to doing so, there are some esteemed members, one of whom has specifically requested me not to utter his name in public here. but i could definitely p.m. you, if you so desire.
you, arthur, are an enigmatic delight to this forum. for in not knowing what you say, we revel in our cumulative imagination, and make a spectacle of fools before the wisdom of thyself.
i was not kidding in another post, when on a cold, rainy day, an upper is a glass of wine and some fresh hot onion/cashew pakodas. can i liken you to that? if you don't mind. to me, this is one of the ultimate complements.
may i, sincerely, on behalf of the forum, and myself (not sapthajiva, though as he can speak for himself), bow my head in shame as the precursor to the dulling of the mind on its route to senility, or somewhere its neighbourhood? you have awakened in me, the desire again, to search for the truth. i will do so rigorously from now on.
bless you sir for your frankness. there used to be an newroom adage, prior to the rightwing racists buying up all the major newspapers in the west - 'published and be damned'. in your case, i would retort, 'publish or be damned'.
may peace be with you.
