G *All members refrain from making any response to your points. Why
waste your energy?*
*KR: * If I may say so, you have a couple of clans who back scratch
mutually. However hard you try, people who have swallowed the crowbars and
are waiting for sukku kashayam to digest, will not speak. At the same time,
your knowledge of reciprocation is shallow as you have not seen why values
are increasing in the exchange of thoughts in the groups in itself. Had
there been erroneous data, it shall be corrected , by those who are really
interested, and who do not care to read, may not notice all of them at all.
And you are naive enough to believe , many are awaiting for the email of G
like "sathaka-bird" for the rain drops. Many do not have time; some do not
read immediately; many reads and place in folders; and we do not respond
unless we are not clear. Except yourself, all weigh their content to write
before they dip in. You are sliding too many without even an iota of
verification into the pool, just to fill pages. Had you read well before
assimilating ,many things that interest only you , for the first time, may
not be any unknown factors at all. Your yardstick is not any measuring
panel. And where you intend to peck equally like others, is KANA
MAYILADA"(SEEING THE PEACOCK DANCE) which is not the nature of a normal
person. You are emotional; you speak ill of others at the same tone, as you
goad over them, initially, revealing your true colour. You assume a lot of
wow factors, in your imagination, and dramatically , write against; for
example ENGLISH VERB GRAMMAR ETC; while you commit a lot of mistakes; you
know it, all of them; but your pleasure of inability point blank exposure,
unsettled you. So the sentence you framed in the first line above , suits
only you. WHY WASTE ENERGY?. wHEN YOU START THE BATTLE WITH WORDS AND
DEEDS, YOU SHIFT IT TO OTHERS AS IF THEY WERE THE STARTERS; IT IS BECAUSE,
YOU THINK YOU FORCED ALL TO BELIEVE YOU ARE TOO INNOCENT; BUT YOU ARE NOT
AWARE, EVERYONE IS WATCHING YOU ONLY AND LAUGH WITHIN THEIR SLEEVES. IT IS
A KIND OF MANIA. Don't waste your energy. Run the machine you are capable
of that will be original yourself.
First of all see here also your basic English; *"which I
have impressed";* and your false-ego character too. *"I have never wrote
anything negative" *is a bundle of contradictory characters. { forget about
your english *wrote). *First of all, you presume you are a king and you
must be impressed; that is funny. Your impressions do matter but your
expectations of as if, you are the King and so all must , impress you , is
a false-belief, childish. You only start the skirmish, writing , words of
bossing over and then when hit, switch to next front line attacks and
surrender like this finally. This is the Vadivel joke I always refer to.
That is your shallow intellect. No one has any duty to impress you; the
impressions that are created, alone, are expressed in finery words later.
On the contrary, as if you are the chancellor of the exchequer, sitting on
the throne, write in one word GOOD. Who are you to pat someone?; so
elderly than the rest?. Enjoying content is an art; when your wife does a
jalebi and you place it in your mouth, and taste it, extolling her talent
is positive and revealing your taste; instead if you say GOOD , you show
her, you are a chief-cook that is all. You always do the latter. You are
living in an imaginary world of highly intelligent-presumptor. So many
write after you and for you , it is not hitting your brain, that others (
other than us) are negative at all!!. It is your blind vision, the
perception.
Wherever there are matters, right or wrong, appropriate ,
additional data will arise; the good gets enhanced; the bad ones like
yours, is exposed; then you call that as negative; abuse of drugs in your
view is negative and the opposites enhance your color-blindness. You have
the confidence of writing, to boldly say, all these people wrote, wrongly;
that is the writing content. Supported by facts and science; unsupported by
your freewill pleasures. KR IRS 13 5 23
