[QUOTE="Harry Haller, post: 162159, member: 14641"] Openmindedji, I suffer from the same problem that plagues you, but in reverse, allow me to explain, I did cut my hair in my twenties, but more from a need of not muddying the image of a Sardar whilst I went on a voyage of trying everything one should not, I would like to state that now at my current age, I feel like I have lost 15 years, those 15 years, mired in addictions, women, bankruptcy and heart problems, they did not lead me anywhere, please allow me to comment. [COLOR="blue"]Life is cyclical my young friend, for every man like yourself there is a man like me, for every man that is in anguish over his life, there is a man at peace with the same life, for every man that wishes to lose something, there is another who wishes to gain it, I am not going to tell you to cut your hair, or not cut your hair, it is your decision, and only you will reap the consequences, they may be minimal, they may be huge, but they are nothing to do with being judged by society, or your parents, or your peers, it is what is in your heart, it is how true to yourself you wish to be, it is knowing who you are, if you know who you are, and in your heart, you are a mona, they be a mona, when you get fed up of being a mona, you will come back with 10 times the conviction you have now, or you may stay a mona, and prove the point that you can be a mona, and a good Sikh, however I will say one thing, men and women died so that they could keep their hair, I know you will not understand this, any more than I did at your age, but they did not do this out of blind faith, they did it because they realised something I am only just realising, that faith is not blind, nor is it lip service, that faith is a very real contentment and kindness, love, satisfaction, yearning for nothing other than the hand of God on your head, looking out for you, guiding you, consoling you, wiping away your tears, encouraging you to stand up when you want to sit down, it is Creator deep within you, and although I sense that even as a mona, it is stronger when I look like an extra from the 'wolfman', I just wish, like you I had the courage to take that step, however, I am confident that when my time comes to give my head back to Guruji, I will stand proudly and embrace what I had 20 years ago, what you have now. Do what you have to do, but accept that certain actions will have physically more pleasing results, but may mentally devastate you Good Luck, even if you do cut your hair, you will still learn, but the hard way, or worse, not at all. peacesignkaur [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
