Hi,
My name is Arjun Menon, I study at RPI, and my email address
is menona@rpi.edu, I'm currently using someone elses log-in right now.
I just read,
There should be no outraging of faith by obscenity and slander
from ashokvc@giasbm01.vsnl.net.in
I'm not sure what kind of people you are, but I have a feeling that the
person missing the point is either you or me.
The question: Are there any limitations?
My answer: No there aren't any!! The fakeness and disillusionment of
the Indian culture today is that it has developed the rigidity of a
concrete block! Every little action of conformity taken by the Indian
culture is the building block-grain to the concreteness of
hinduism/indian culture itself. Everytime someone tries to take the
block to a new height and drops it on the people,.. what do you expect?
Of course its going to crack! Why should you all remain so rigid, just
waiting for your concrete minds to crack!
A good lesson in humanity and self-understanding is to realize that the
world doesn't come to anyone as a square, which you know has four edges,
and you know where each edge is. There are always new things being
created and new areas being explored. One should be open always to the
many variety of cultures and art that flow in and try to stand back and
consider the infinite possiblities of appreciation.
Are you so afraid that your kids might see some nude paintings....,
there are so many pornographics items in the world, do you seriously
think that a painting of draupadi nude is serious? Do you wish to
create future zombie children who won't learn to appreciate the beauty
of his or her own body? Just look at the KamaSutra, I mean... it was
created by the Indian culture,... we were probably the first to bring
about pornography?
Take a deep breath and loosen up. Don't be so rigid! Learn to learn
again! Take a chance and be a more rounded person, someone without an
edge or an angle, .. be one and all!
- Contemplate,
Arjun, OM, Peace and Love to all.
