Q7    "Gut feeling"  has no virtue; it is as good or as bad as jumping into
the river without the knowledge of swimming. Self-motivation is required.
But blind-folded gut is a suicide. There are two things in a human as well
as the 5senses. One is thinking brain; second is pumping heart; former is
practicality; latter is emotional without reason; if one is using the
former and getting into a self motivation that is a good choice; but the
latter blind fold is suicide. If one suffers without others knowing or
sharing it well that is different. But self-suffering is invited; but why
would impose on others; getting a Govt job is not that easier if you are
even so highly qualified.  Hence Tiruvalluar said, THINK WELL BEFORE YOU
ACT; ONCE DECIDED ,RECAPITULATING AGAIN LATER IS A SHAME. (eNNITH THUNIGA
KARUMAM). KR IRS   8421
