2) When I say why marriage is nothing but a choice, do not look at me as if I am crazy. There are some marriages where the woman stands by her man despite being beaten to a pulp, raped or even having her kids raped; but she still stupidly stands by her man. And there are others that divorce over toothpaste. Whether its arranged or "love", its just a choice. There is no such thing as a romance or love. Best example, the Reverend Moon marriages in Korea, where people marry the person that this pastor chooses; some "couples" do not even speak the same language. Some find this romantic or right; to me its just crock.
3) Just because you are not good in the small picture; it does not mean that you do not look at the big picture. If we can overlook extramarital affairs of a CEO as long as he rakes in the cash, I see why we cannot get the man in the street to start talking about politics, economy and so on. Its with discussion that we improve. Listen, but never heed right-away.
4) " The strong in the community are men, the strength is in the women of the community." (For Sikhs) I feel that this is the single biggest drawback that we have in our religion. If we do not go out and reach out the women, still forcing them to carry out abortions, practice dowry, not inculcate Sikhi in them, then we would be in the trouble.
5) Even if you do something that another loved one does not approve of, please do not just ignore the person outright or intentionally block the person from communicating with you. That hurts more. Its as if the action that you took changes you and the relationship that you have with that person. And to that person, if in the one in a million chance you are reading this, I still love you too bro.
