For some it is a self-centered world of pleasure and carelessness. For others it is service to the poor. For others it is deep thinking about death. And for others, it is some of everything - read some, laugh some, learn some. Reading your blog satisfies all three today, given my ignorance of Mahabharata, Maya, and dharma. As Ramesh says, we can only do so much.Anne in Salemnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27946614.post-55303738489508421622015-08-03T21:57:01.849-07:002015-08-03T21:57:01.849-07:00I am glad you like the meandering through, which I...I am glad you like the meandering through, which I view as making connections. One of my favorite TV shows from decades ago was a science-history program called "Connections" ... in my classes too I try to show students the connections ...<br /><br />Yes, if we humans could divert a little bit of energy and emotion from the war machine, our roads, air, water, minds will all be so much safer and cleaner ... if only ...<br /><br />You don't care about the sardines in the Pacific??? tsk, tsk, tsk ... :(Sriram Khéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06724218458246880137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27946614.post-62467015039702685622015-08-03T18:11:01.663-07:002015-08-03T18:11:01.663-07:00I especially like your posts when you meander thro...I especially like your posts when you meander through more than one issue, lightly touching them here or there. After all if you put all your energy and emotion into one, its not a great idea as you yourself are espousing in this post !<br /><br />As I repeat ad nauseum, there are more people killed on Indian roads every year than in all the wars and troubles in the world put together. If only a fraction of the effort that goes into wars goes into making Indian roads just a bit more safer .........<br /><br />Give us humans a break. We can only deal with a few things at a time. And so if we "do the right thing" in at least a few matters, give us a pat on the back. So, you must excuse me, if I cared two hoots about sardines off the coast of Oregon !!Rameshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11782192840421019943noreply@blogger.com
