[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 122681, member: 138"] Atheist ji, Guru Fateh. You write: Somehow, it seems from your post that you tend to jump to conclusions about what others may think about you for the reasons only known to you.Rather than giving people the benefit of the doubt, you start doubting them. I am not a psychologist but I know you are a physician in training as you mentioned but I have no idea where this insecurity or lack of trust in others come from. I agree with you. That is why Sikhi is not an external imposition ( too bad it was demonstrated in your own household), but an internal manifestation. As mentioned in my earlier posts, Sikhi is about pragmatism, not about any dogma. SGGS is the proof of that which has beautiful poetry from people who had the similar thought process but belonged to different religions. I wrote a small piece about it which can be found in this forum" Dogmas versus the Science of Guru Nanak". Let me know your views on that. Sikhi breeds open mindedness. So when you say you were raised by very strict , traditional, Indian Sikh parents, it baffles me a bit because I was also raised in a devout Sikh family but nothing was shoved down our throats. Goodness, helping the needy was instilled in us since we were very young. We were not forced to memorise any paath. We, as kids waited for the days of the Gurpurab so we could do seva for 3 days. It was a blast.I am sorry to know that in your own household it seems there were more man made dogmas enforced than the the true value of Sikhi but who am I to judge! I totally agree with you. If you go through some of my own threads and posts in this forum, you will find out that for me a Sikh can also be an Atheist because Ik Ong Kaar is not the deity God that the Atheists have the disbelief in. My kids, Jaskeerat who is 19 is a Sophomore at LMU, a Catholic Univeristy in Los Angeles and is doing double major- International Business, European History and minor in Theology. In fact she is one of the very few who was chosen to present her studies: "March 01, 2010 Dear Jaskeerat Malik, Congratulations! You have been selected to present your work, Roman Apology: Non-Christian Romans vs. Christian Romans in the first three centuries of the Roman Empire, at the second LMU Undergraduate Research Symposium on Saturday, March 20 in University Hall. Your research project was chosen by a faculty committee in recognition of the project’s clarity and as a contribution of significant work in your field." She was offered the Book of Mormons by one of her class mates in high school to read and she read part of it and gave up because she decided it was not her cup of tea. My son, Trimaan who is 14 and a freshman in a magnet program wrote an essay in which he mentioned about studying Islam. He posted it here in the forum. In fact he has been the only visible Sikh in all his schools since the age of 3 when we moved to Henderson from California [URL]http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/inspirational-stories/28767-unfair-discrimination.html[/URL] No criticisms, just lively interaction which is the best way to learn.:-) Regards Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
