hmm, I seem to hav forgotten what i wrote there....been a while since i went to those communities...lots of nonsense on those forums these days.
Just for the record, i hav studied sanskrit[ at least passed sanskrit exams] for 8 years right from middle school till end of 12th grade;-) So considering the duration that i have been associated with the language, i can understand it a bit. But cant speak much now a days- have lost touch big time.
s/w Engineers hardly get time to do anything interesting...except coding, ofcourse.
I just wonder whether both the body and mind dont play a part in deciding the object of love.... Don't we all like/ love something/some1 from our own perspective? And this perspective very much depends upon each and every individual...So isnt it person-specific??
Like u say if it is universal,we could say it is all the goodness of the world.. but isnt this goodness relative to every person?
im very glad that in this fast generation ,im coming across a person who says parents decide the "ideal match".i should say i never across a boy who views match mine.i found u some having similar views.im very happy.be like that.dont ever change.hahah
@Bril, Like u say if it is universal,we could say it is all the goodness of the world.. but isnt this goodness relative to every person?
Naive,as this might sound, I believe that everyone/everything in this world has an innate goodness- goodness is universal.
I do agree, that there are shades of grey too,in everyone.But the "greyness" depends on perspective. It is just circumstances and our perspective which paints a person/thing as bad.I might think of someone as being a "good" person today, but that opinion might change tomorrow. We could attribute it to the "that person has changed, he is no longer the person that he was"-phenomenon. But i feel that in most cases, it is our perspective that has changed, our view of looking at the person/thing has changed.
To reiterate, goodness is universal, and so is love, in its universal sense ;-)
