[QUOTE="JimRinX, post: 106408, member: 6872"] Mai Harinder Kaur ji I can see your point; for though I've never personally been through anything as traumatic as the Dehli Pogrom (I do have some Dutch Jewish roots, lost a lot of Cousins to the NAZI Camps, and famillies like mine generally teach their children to prepare for 'the next one' by teaching us about the 'previous ones'), I would have - no doubt - been waiving my 'Sikh Flag High' (No Pun Intended; though I do like to wave my 'Freak Flag High' myself - if only so that the Hippie Chicks, with Hairy Armpits and Legs, will know I'm one of them!). It saddens me to learn of your loses; just as it saddens me to have learned that the Mumbai Terrorists were retaliating against the BJP having destroyed a 15th C. Mosque - though it was only because of an open-minded Hindu (a Salon.com blogger) set up a posting about it, since CNN only wants WAR, WAR, WAR; and they're especially keen to leave out any details that might make Muslims look more 'Human' or, dare I say it, 'justified' in their actions. This brings me back to my original point, though. While you found - and find - Great Comfort in adhering to the 'Five K's'; it is both that adherence - and the adherence of those who attacked you (or the people of Mumbai) to a 'different' code of conduct/dress/ritual - that has set you at one anothers throats; because they so clearly define you as the 'hated other'. I strive for World Peace through Understanding a Mutual Respect; and though it would be OK with me if everyone joined the Sikhi - or adpoted any of the Dharmic Beliefs, for that matter - I know that that is as unlikely to happen, as it would be wrong to try to MAKE THEM do so. The more I, who started out a Catholic then became a Buddhist when I was 17, learn about Sikhism, the more respect I have for it's beautiful teachings - as they embody my own personal credo so well, that I will, from now on, always say that I, "Pave the Eightfold Path with bricks of Bodhi Dharma, Tao, Confucious,[COLOR=blue] [B][U]&[/U] [/B]The [B]Wisdom[/B] of [B]Guru[/B] [B]Nanak!!!"[/B][/COLOR] (Actually: I try to apply more wisdom to the task than just that - but then I'm such a bookworm!) Finally: though I do not seek to judge or criticize you for how you chose to live, believe, or feel - as I cannot know your Pain (and I hope I never do!); I would, nonetheless, stress that while you, Mai ji, continue to seek solace in your Proud adherence to the 'Five K's' - that you also avoid, at all costs, the same pitfall that led those who harmed you so to see you as the Hated Other! Actually, you being a Sikh, I probably didn't have to say that though; did I? If you knew what the Christians - particularly the 'White Supremacists' ones - had done to me (they actually DID kill two people - one of them a Jewish friend of mine) over the last few years; then you'd be Proud of how, despite being encited to Violence countless times, strictly I Adhered to the Four Noble Truths! But then nothing stymies a 'Bully' like the target who simply refuses to cooperate!:cool: [/QUOTE]
