Title: Suicide!!!
Post by: on August 16, 2006, 01:10:39 PM
Suicide!!!

This human life is very rare. Next human birth is still rare. The ignorance of real aim of the life leads to thoughts of suicide due to tensions created in this unreal drama. Will any body kill himself or herself really on the stage while acting a drama? Is he or she not a fool? Is he or she not mad? Suppose a student is defeated in cricket game and commits suicide. Is he or she not mad? Suppose a student is defeated in cricket game and commits suicide. Is he not a fool? The game itself is a side activity meant for a change. This worldly life is just a side activity and one should not get even tension in this worldly life, not to speak of suicide!

Suppose anyone who plays Cricket is a dork. Is that not madness?

Cricket matches takes days to finish. No wonder that people are bored  to death.

Human life is not rare, there are milliards of humans and more of them are born every day. This makes a single life look rather insignificant, doesn't it? So I think it is better to make the best out of life, especially since you have only one of it. My "real aim" to life is thereore to live a happy life. Since I'm succeeding in that goal pretty well, I have no intentions to end it. What goals people that commited suicide should have had, is not for me (not for anyone else) to decide or judge.

I don't respect people who use multiple exclamation points.

Hey it kind of sucks China didn't fully invade India. Maybe we'd have a world majority of Atheists.

This guy is nuts, here's his "bio" page:

http://www.universal-spirituality.org/swamiwho.htm

He envisions himself as some sort of prophet with special "divine" knowledge...one of the marks of a type of schizophrenia or some other disorders might fit the bill as well.

It's hard for me to understand boobly boobly talk.  I pride myself on being able to decipher the thickest of Indian accents after years in engineering studies, but I still scratch my head when I read what they write...I have an easier time reading Japanese warning signs.

You have my admiration if you were actually able to read through the entire page, Squid, but of course you don't need to read much of it to get a flavour of this guy.

I have to quote one small section:

"The people who do not want to accept this extra item, which is beyond this world, are called as atheists. From their angle I am a trickish human being cheating humanity through My speeches. Such atheists will not even touch this website and they are not My readers."

Well, he's not often right, but he's wrong again!  

Initially I thought this guy was just misguided, but after further consideration I think he's probably certifiably crazy. He claims to have a Ph.D in chemistry, as well as being a "spiritual genius".  I think maybe he's been playing around with the chemicals just a little too often.

I think the only thing he is cheating humanity out of is brain cells.  He'd have to be clever in order to trick anyone who thinks for themselves.
