Simply a statement of fact, I don't have the time to read through volumes of Indian mythology, some of us work for a living.

Ahhhhh, the myopic ivory tower view of the conceited. "I'm right and everyone else is wrong". I'm beginning to see why Rifty became frustrated with you, you'd never make a philosopher, as that would require an open mind that can learn as opposed to a closed mind that has already decided "how things are" and rejects any possible alternative.

Read as "I've already decided how everything works, and I'm better than anyone else, and no-one else could possibly know more than me" ?????? That's rather sad, it means you'll not ever be able to learn anything.

Considering drug abuse is rampant in India and has been for quite some time through numerous leaderships what does that say of the "relativistic mindset" of the Hindu people??? No, it's just the way things are. People are people, and sadly some people do this to themselves, nothing to do with "leaders of society".

The people that will "never get it" are myopic one-sided fools that think they know all the answers and are completely closed to any suggestion of anything different or any alternative way of thinking.

Allegorical meaning is exactly what I was talking about, and much of mythology does have that entwined in the fiction of the mythology. It's a very simple-minded point of view not to recognise that.

Life can do that all on its' own. Some of us don't need to cling to ego and scream from the top of the hill "I know better than any European" or whatever else it takes for you to feel speshul, we just observe and learn. Ego is the mind person, as you are discovering without even realising it.

No, my mind is adaptive and capable of learning. Yours appears to be a closed stagnant box. Not a great way to live or learn, you need to open that box and let the air back in!

Ahhhh, you don't think that fairy-tales have their very own messages to deliver in many cases??? Seems a tad myopic to me. Religion, mythology, fairy tales, etc. have more in common with each other than many are willing to admit. The messages are what matter, not the packaging they come in.

Trying to pretend the real world does not exist does not prevent it from existing. EVERYTHING has bearing on us, the messages in myth, the car-crash down the road, and everything in between. It is a tad insular and naive to believe that you can just hold to one reality and ignore the greater reality around you merely because it doesn't fit in with your view on things.

Don't worry, the Drunken Jedi will save your soul!
