[QUOTE="AngloSikhPeace, post: 199337, member: 19790"] Hmm... This is a nasty state of affairs. Just how things go on the internet, I have come to realise. The internet only brings out the worst in good people. I've tried to stop using forums before as well. But they're too addictive. You get sucked in, wanting to be right, feeling this urge to correct and contradict and dispute. But in the end it's meaningless. Advice for Akasha and the others: do not assume that the attitude you see on the internet is the real one. If people seem rude or arrogant or off-putting, then this is because they are communicating by little messages and are separated by thousands of miles. In real life, they're not bad people. You will find Sangat, true Sangat, in the Gurdwaras, with your families, in your neighbourhood. You won't find that online. Years ago, when I first came furtively and hesitantly to the Gurdwara, like a refugee from my old faith, I wanted to find a teacher. Someone to explain to me everything about Sikhi and guide me into a new life. I was told that instead I should just study Guruji by myself, and use the internet to find out everything that I didn't understand. I did this, but it just led to more and more torment. I didn't understand what Sikhi really meant, I just became more and more attached to things, got filled up with pride. And when I couldn't fulfil that pride, when I couldn't live up to the ridiculous fantasy standard of what I should be like, it came crashing down. I began to become mentally-ill, eventually it was very serious. I lost everything. My education, my friends, my physical health. On and off, this kept happening for the next few years. And yet, when I turned away, when I learned to actually read Gurbani instead of what people said about it, things got better. I began to understand. So, here is my advice. Don't trust the internet. Read and understand yourself, and learn from proper real life Sangat, not people like me or Harry or Tejwant. We are just bits of writing. If you have truly been given the gift by Waheguru, then understanding will flow like refreshing water. It liberates everything from the cycle of confusion and doubt. True, that's just the first step, it won't make you perfect. But it's necessary. That'll be it from me. I'm going to try to go away for good now. The internet ruins my personality here too, it's time that I stop taking the antisocial ways of more 'aggressive' forums over into this one. I leave you in peace. Waheguru ji ka khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh. [/QUOTE]
