Subject: [Goanet] Gold Box
The story goes that some time ago, a man punished his
3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold
wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became
infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to
put under the Christmas tree.
Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her
father the next morning and said, "This is for you,
Daddy." He was embarrassed by his earlier over
reaction, but his anger flared again when he found the
box was empty. He yelled at her, "Don't you know when
you give someone a present, there's supposed to be
something inside it?
The little girl looked up at him with tears in her
eyes and said, "Oh, daddy, it's not empty, I blew
kisses into the box. All for you, daddy." The father
was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl,
and he begged for her forgiveness.
An accident took the life of the child only a
short time later and it is told that the man kept
that gold box by his bed for many years and whenever
he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary
kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it
there.
In a very real sense, each of us as humans, have been
given a gold container filled with unconditional love
and kisses from our children, friends and family.
There is no possession more precious.

Speak for yourself if you like. To generalise with all Goans is to insult
their sensibilities terribly. Additionally, please note that the North West
of Pakistan actually follows organised religion to the T and are famous for
jungle rule or tribal law. Incidentally it is believed that "the evil one" -
Osama is currently in hiding there. And the current barbarism we see
emanating out of Pakistan is also a product of organised religion.
And Buddha actually went to the jungles to meditate and get enlightened. If
all were like Buddha then violence would not have any place in the
world.....so jungles are not that bad after all. :-)
And don't forget that it is in the name of organised religion that the the
Church murdered millions and rendered thousands homeless in their quest to
convert Goans to Christianity.
And it is the efforts of the VHP to actually make Hinduism into an organised
religion which is resulting in the current Hindu militancy and violence.
And how can I forget to mention the current ogre of Islamic terrorism...I
won't bother with details.
Incidentally if you think religion made anyone civilized there is enough
proof to link it with the worst barbarism in the world. It is education,
culture, human values, and society which makes one civilised. Simply going
to a church or temple and following priests blindly (even though they may be
paedophiles or drug addicts) does not make one civilized or get one out of
the "jungle" mentality.
In fact, it is the other way round. If you actually look at the custodians
of organised religion you will find a whole horde of perverts ranging from
paedophiles and child/female abusers to drug addicts to violence
recommenders to revenge fanatics to racists to basic cheats and liars and
egoistic chauvinists. And most people actually follow them blindly in the
name of Jesus, Allah, Ram and whoever. I tell you people have forgotten
Jesus, Allah and Ram. Instead, Satan and the devil reigns supreme with
current religious bodies with the horns showing prominently.
>I would like to initiate a survey of all Goanetters on the following

>Are you "for" or "against" religion?
And what's that going to achieve other than prove that religion is popular
or not among the goanetters ? That does not mean it is good or bad. After
all alchohol is also popular and so is smoking. But whether it is good or
bad is another question. Incidentally, if organised religion was not popular
I would not have to write so many yarns against it. ;- )

Here's my vote : against organised religion of course. Now why did I even
bother ? ;-)
Cheers,
Sunila
