Richard, as you say, people who have dark skin strive for lighter skin; while the ones who have natural white skin continuously desire darker skin. I wonder if this is a recent shift in the perception of society? With the advent of global TV and air travel, the world has "opened up" and people see different peoples and cultures and constant advertising which tells them that they should have and they can have more! The average person is lead to believe that tomorrow will bring more and better things and that everyday things will get better, easier and more perfect.
It appears that the huge effort made by great saintly people like Guru Nanak has not had a proportionately significant mark on the planet; for the majority, their message does not exist; they continue to live without much spiritual knowledge or awareness; going from one emotional upheaval to the next; or from one emotional peak to the next. Most in the world are living just like simple animals live; just dealing day to day with their immediate needs and instinct; there is no thought for others; there is no effort to help the under privileged; etc. In fact some have gone in the reverse direction and kill anyone who does not "fit in" with their ideas. How do we relate that with the fact that humans have the biggest IQ?
Either, we do not use this IQ at all and it is dormant or that we use it mainly for destructive purposes; in which case, should we even call it IQ in the first place; may be "DI", "destructive intelligence" would be more appropriate.

My Grandfather

Brother, i think you took it in wrong way. My Grandfather tells us about their war. About his experiance, tells us what bravery is, tells us how they fought, what problems they face, in what conditions he was and he is proud that still he is alive after facing them. He was in infantry. He is retired captain. and enjoying the life and pension he is getting from Government. He fought for british but for india.

but he always says one thing, nobody like war, but if you have to face to then think that you will never see the world again. He have positive attitude towards everything.

Casteism, etc. Part 1

Dear Bhai Richard ji, Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh

Unfortunately, the beautiful eye photo is not my work but found on the net. However, I agree that it is a most wonderful eye; with an amazing spectrum of colours and something that a typical Indian would love to have in duplicate.

Many thanks for a most informative message and the compliment of calling me "a true Gursikh"; that I believe is a first on the net! I have had the pleasure of receiving that pleasure personally but I think this is a first time on the net. I hope I continue to maintain that threshold into the future. Many thanks again.

Richard, as you say, people who have dark skin strive for lighter skin; while the ones who have natural white skin continuously desire darker skin. I wonder if this is a recent shift in the perception of society? With the advent of global TV and air travel, the world has "opened up" and people see different peoples and cultures and constant advertising which tells them that they should have and they can have more! The average person is lead to believe that tomorrow will bring more and better things and that everyday things will get better, easier and more perfect.

It appears that the huge effort made by great saintly people like Guru Nanak has not had a proportionately significant mark on the planet; for the majority, their message does not exist; they continue to live without much spiritual knowledge or awareness; going from one emotional upheaval to the next; or from one emotional peak to the next. Most in the world are living just like simple animals live; just dealing day to day with their immediate needs and instinct; there is no thought for others; there is no effort to help the under privileged; etc. In fact some have gone in the reverse direction and kill anyone who does not "fit in" with their ideas. How do we relate that with the fact that humans have the biggest IQ?

Either, we do not use this IQ at all and it is dormant or that we use it mainly for destructive purposes; in which case, should we even call it IQ in the first place; may be "DI", "destructive intelligence" would be more appropriate. It appears that when folks are allowed complete freedom, they abuse it - consider the CEO like Sir Allen Stanford ($7b??), Bernard Madoff ($50b), CEOs of Enron ($31b) and other financial controllers like Jerome Kerviel of French bank Societe Generale($7b), Nick Leeson, who bankrupted British bank Barings ($1.38b), etc. (See the full World corruption timeline).

This apparent human "weakness" is not limited to CEO's and financial personnel, in the UK, we have had many British politicians "publicly charged" for exaggerating their expenses; many had grossly "over-claimed" money from the UK treasury. This inability of intelligent people to act wisely and with restraint is becoming a common occurrence; not only is crime on the increase, we have many so called "innocent" people engaged in small scale corruption in their daily lives. Self control and individual standards appear to have disappeared altogether.
