My Online Writings - 2004 - '07 MyOnlineAnchor VED from VICTORIA INSTITUTIONS Part 3 It is foretold! The torrential flow of inexorable destiny! Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Previous Next Running out of breath, The British exit Drowning in air The last few years were a period of intense work, involving both extreme mental concentration and physical strain. It led to a sort of breakdown of health; I experienced a sort of breathlessness. As if enough oxygen was not reaching the brain. It was a most curious and also scary experience. There was air all around, yet, a feeling of drowning in air. I mention this experience for it comes back to my memory, when I think about the current environmental situation of our bio-system. The bemused culprits Before going ahead, I need to speak of another curious incident to which I was witness. It took place in the south Indian city of Madras many years ago. I was walking on a very crowded road with a most unruly traffic and pedestrian rush. The traffic line was long and slow. One auto-rickshaw (3-wheeler) was in front, followed by a car, which itself was followed by a heavy Jeep. Suddenly the traffic stopped and the auto-rickshaw applied sudden brake. The car behind also did the same. But the jeep behind was a wee bit late, and rammed right into the car, which jumped and hit the auto-rickshaw and damaged the auto-rickshaw’s rear. The auto-rickshaw driver immediately jumped out and examined the damaged and went for a verbal fight with the car driver, who was an upper class man. Both of them started a heavy fight, with the latter slowly gaining upper hand due to the deft use of feudal indicant words. At the same time, the real culprits were in the jeep behind and seemed to view the whole incident in a mood of, at first, uneasy expectancy, and then of bemused coyness. The denuding This incident I relate here when I see the huge debate on climate change. Actually, this was a theme that was in my mind and my continuous observation from my childhood. In my childhood, I lived occasionally near to the lower parts of the mountain system in south India called the Western Ghats (Sahyadris). The whole valley areas and the mountains and the hillocks were fully green. So much so, that even around 10am in the morning, the roads to the mountains were fully covered with mist. Now the whole area lies denuded of its vegetation and the place is burning hot. It has severely affected the temperature and other physical attributes of the climate. The machines Now what is the problem here? Even though I am not sure if the proper machinery that continually replenishes the oxygen content of the atmosphere is only plants, it is almost certain that the plant world does have a very significant role in this work. That is, this is the machinery that should do the work of removing the Carbon-dioxide content in the air. This much I say, for I heard on the BBC, talks about installing machines all around the world that should do this work. The so-called freedom to loot Now what happened to all the trees and vegetation in this area? The same that has happened to all forest areas all around India, since India got its so-called freedom. When I was in my Plus-Two class, I remember reading that only around 20% of the total forest areas that were in India during the 1947 is still intact. The rest having been fully cleared during the looting of the forest wealth, mainly timber. The plunder and the connivance How it happens is like this: Persons who have bureaucratic and political contacts, create documents that claim that a particular area is actually private forest land; or officials of the electricity board (and such) collude with the timber business and certify that a particular stretch of land has to be cleared to protect the electric lines; during this clearing a lot of other trees are also stolen. Then there is actual plunder with or without official connivance. Plunder with official connivance is a fact of life; for in the early years, the evidence was very much there in the very houses of the forest officials; now, I don’t think they would dare keep such evidence of public plunder right inside their houses in full public glare. Yet, it is a fact that no one really can speak with daring against any public officials, for the huge might of the whole Indian government would fall on his fragile head. Dacoits on the route Now, when the fact remains that less than 20% of the forest wealth protected and bequeathed by the British colonial rulers remains here, it is a matter for deep concern. For, what has been destroyed is the machinery that regenerates the oxygen in the world. It is not a matter of national concern alone, but also of international consternation. The question remains of who gave these persons the right to cut down the trees, which has travelled through immense centuries, and should have still travelled through much more time periods. None of these persons do have any right over these trees; it is like a group of bandits plundering a train whenever it passes through their terrain. Sharing the spoils It is a scary right these people have claimed to and exerted. In many ways it is like the way and manner of modern Indian administrators changing the names of place in this geographical area currently called India. Names like Bombay, Calicut, Calcutta, Madras and much more have evolved over time, and have been in the records of immense historical records all around the world for a long time. For example, the name Calicut may have mention in Roman records; and there comes a silly politician who has run out ideas to befool his followers. All such names are simply chopped down and names that cater to the delight of a few are placed in stead. Wasting celestial energy A lot of concrete buildings have been built in the nation since 1947. Each building has taken part in the destruction of vegetation, either in the clearing or in the wooden furniture. This has led to heat accumulation in the place. At the same time, it is the vegetation that garners the energy from the Sun and assimilates it into the bio-system. More and more Sun energy is simply being radiated back into the outer space. Ideas that bemuses Many years ago, in a class in Bangalore, which I was attending, I mentioned to the teacher that growing plants on all concrete structures in the nation would go a long way in reducing the affect of extreme deforestation, and of the heat islands formed between the building; it will cool down the towns and cities and also cool down the interior of the buildings. Moreover immense bio-fuel energy and also animal fodder would be created. It was heard by the teacher in a most bemused manner, as the whole theme was outside anything she had read in her textbooks. The dark future of the Dark Continent Now, it is a fact that all over the world, especially in Asian, African and South American nations, the same scenario is being enacted. I am sure in some of the East European nations also, this might be the scene. I tremble when I think of what is going to happen to the Amazon forests in the near future. When it becomes a clear place full of concrete roads and buildings, will the world experience what I did; a lot of air around, but no oxygen to fill the lungs? What about Africa? Won’t it be a huge stretch of desert land in the near future? What a change from when it was the Dark Continent, full of intimidating forestry! A world government Here we reach the frontiers of British Colonialism and its connection to current day problems all around the world. At the heights of the British Colonial days, British administration was in charge of a huge part of the world, Africa, Asia, and North America. In many ways, this administration was the best that most of these places ever had in their whole history. The British left; they had their own reasons to leave; otherwise the huge weaknesses in British Jurisprudence would have left this tiny island nation inundated with the whole crowds from all over the world (actually it has not escaped this disastrous outcome). The criminal exit It was not exactly in their leaving that they did the crime; but the ways and manner of how they did it. They left, leaving the deftly crafted administrative, social communication and police and armed systems right in the hands of persons who existed right outside the English social strings; right into the hands of persons who have had nothing to offer other than rambling rhetoric. It was a most irresponsible thing to do. Imagine leaving not only the vulnerable people, but also the vegetation, the animals and the other creatures, right into the hands of persons who stood for most selfish reasons. Efficient police and armed forces crafted into supreme efficiency and then handed to brutes. It was a deed, which even the gods would find hard to find excuse for. The others who stood with the English systems simply stood in a bewildered mess; having no one at the far ends of the strings on which they stood. It was like orphaning a lot of sub forums pages when a main forum is deleted. I think Forum administrators will understand this allegory. The explosion and its simple reason There is need to think about the explosion in world population. It is seen that in all poor nations population is expanding; inexplicably, sort of. The answer may lie in the language systems there; wherein healthcare to poor people is there, but poor people hesitate to make use of it, unless in dire situations. For example, during child delivery, the poor will accept the same and bear the lower indicant words and usages of the hospital staff in the public hospitals. Yet, in other times, who would go near a public servant when they use lower level indicant words with perfect equanimity? The government servants are at ease; no one can dare to use it back on them and get away with it. Look at India. I think the total population of British India, which included present day India, Pakistan and Bangladesh was less than that of current day India. Wrongs notions in Political Science Now, there is another aspect to this population problem. The British (not the concepts of Hogges, Locke, Rousseau and others as mentioned in the subject called Political Science) brought in the concept of Democracy into these nations, where the language systems have no correlation with the concepts of democracy. It simply stirred up a new political weapon in the minds of the people here. That of gaining power by exploding their population. Not only political groups like the Communist parties, but also religious groups including both the Hindus as well as the Muslims openly went in for spirited campaigns towards this end. A nonsensical ANC and a pragmatic China In South Africa, the nonsensical group called the ANC also gave call towards the same ends. Now look at the results. When talking about population control, one needs to mention China. China is most probably a feudal language nation; yet, when in a feudal language nation, when the top person decides to move on a positive track, there is huge movement towards the positive direction. China went in for a single child national programme. It was a policy that needed much courage as well as political will and capacity. This policy was criticised by the West, even the English West. Yet, it must be admitted that it was a most pragmatic policy, and should have been given accolade. During the Earthquake scenes in China, one saw an immensity of healthy looking, well fed, and well clothed persons. Maybe there are others who don’t don such looks; in what one saw can be an evidence of every family putting their concentration on a single child, instead of a multitude. The scene is in sharp contrast from that of many other Asian and African social scenes. Begging children can be a rarity in China; look at nations like India, where children literally beg on the streets and are shooed off as urchins. Dismantling English social systems Now what about America filling the air with Carbon dioxide? Maybe if there are enough machines (trees and plants) to regenerate oxygen; then it might not be a problem; but with the world slowly turning into a desert, it is a big problem. The second issue is that of America being filled up with people who speak two languages; one a most feudal language at home and English outside. They simply do not live up to the tranquillity of English mental moods. They get constantly irked into outlandish competitiveness and callousness that exist in feudal language nations. The same industrial competitiveness that exists in China and spoils the biosphere. 81. The Moon and Sixpence and A Thing of Beauty 82. Do I miss the old comics? 83. The varied reading 84.

- The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran
ProphetAnchor ഖലീല് ഗിബ്രാൻ (Kahlil Gibran) എഴുതിയ The Prophet (പ്രവാചകൻ) എന്ന ഗ്രന്ഥത്തിന്റെ മലയാളം പരിഭാഷ CONTENTS On Time സമയത്തിനെക്കുറിച്ച് Previous Next And an astronomer said, "Master, what of Time?" ഒരു വാനനിരീക്ഷകന് പറഞ്ഞു, 'ഗുരോ, സമയത്തിനെക്കുറിച്ചോ?' And he answered: അപ്പോള് അയാൾ മറുപടി പറഞ്ഞു: You would measure time the measureless and the immeasurable. അളവില്ലാത്തതും, അളക്കാനാകാത്തതുമായ സമയത്തെ നിങ്ങള് അളക്കും. You would adjust your conduct and even direct the course of your spirit according to hours and seasons. മണിക്കൂറുകള്ക്കും, ഋതുക്കള്ക്കും അനുയോജ്യമായി നിങ്ങൾ നിങ്ങളുടെ പെരുമാറ്റത്തെ ക്രമീകരിക്കുകയും, ചിലപ്പോള് നിങ്ങളുടെ ആത്മാവിന്റെ ഗതിയെപ്പോലും, നിങ്ങള് നിയന്ത്രിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യും. Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing. സമയത്താല് നിങ്ങള് ഒരു അരുവിയെ ഉണ്ടാക്കുകയും, അതിന്റെ തീരത്ത് ഇരുന്നുകൊണ്ട് നിങ്ങള് അതിന്റെ ഒഴുക്കിനെ വീക്ഷിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യും. Yet the timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness, എന്നിരുന്നാലും, നിങ്ങളില് നിതാന്തമായതിന്, ജീവന്റെ നിതാന്തതയെക്കുറിച്ച് അവബോധം ഉണ്ടെന്ന് മാത്രമല്ല, And knows that yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream. ഇന്നലെ എന്നത് ഇന്നിന്റെ ഓര്മ്മ മാത്രമെന്നും, നാളെയെന്നത് ഇന്നിന്റെ സ്വപ്നവും ആണ് എന്നും അറിയുന്നു. And that that which sings and contemplates in you is still dwelling within the bounds of that first moment which scattered the stars into space. നിങ്ങളില് പാടുകയും ചിന്തിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുന്ന ആ അത്, നക്ഷത്രങ്ങളെ ശൂന്യതയിലേക്ക് ചിതറിച്ച ആ ആദ്യ നിമിഷത്തിന്റെ വരമ്പുകള്ക്കുള്ളിൽ ഇന്നും വസിക്കുന്നു എന്നും. Who among you does not feel that his power to love is boundless? ആ അവന് സ്നേഹിക്കുവാനുള്ള കരുത്ത് പരിമിതികളില്ലാത്തതാണ് എന്ന് നിങ്ങളില് ആര്ക്കാണ് തോന്നാത്തത്? And yet who does not feel that very love, though boundless, encompassed within the centre of his being, and moving not from love thought to love thought, nor from love deeds to other love deeds? എന്നിരുന്നാലും, പിരിമിതികളില്ലാത്തതെങ്കിലും, സ്വന്തം സത്തയുടെ മദ്ധ്യബിന്ദുവില് വ്യാപിച്ചിരിക്കുകയും, പ്രണയ ചിന്തയില്നിന്നും പ്രണയചിന്തയിലേക്ക് നീങ്ങാതെയും, പ്രണയകൃത്യത്തില് നിന്നും പ്രണയകൃത്യത്തിലേക്ക് നീങ്ങാതെയും ഇരിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യവെ, ആര്ക്കാണ് ആ സൂചിപ്പിക്കപ്പെട്ട സ്നേഹത്തിന്റെ സ്പര്ശനഅറിവ് ലഭിക്കാത്തത്? And is not time even as love is, undivided and placeless? സ്നേഹം പോലെതന്നെ, സമയവും വിഭജിക്കാനാവാത്തതും, സ്ഥലദേശങ്ങളില്ലത്തതും അല്ലെ? But if in your thought you must measure time into seasons, let each season encircle all the other seasons, എന്നാല്, നിങ്ങളുടെ ചിന്തകളിൽ, കാലഗതിയെ ഋതുക്കളായി നിങ്ങള്ക്ക് അളക്കണമെന്നുണ്ടെങ്കില്, ഓരോ ഋതുവും മറ്റെല്ലാ ഋറുക്കളേയും വലയം ചെയ്യട്ടെ. And let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing. കഴിഞ്ഞകാലങ്ങളെ സ്മരണകളാലും, വരുംകാലങ്ങളെ അഭിലാഷങ്ങളാലും, ഇന്ന് എന്ന ദിവസം ആലിംഗനം ചെയ്യട്ടെ.

An impressionistic history of the SAengAnchor South Asian Subcontinent VED from VICTORIA INSTITUTIONS It is foretold! The torrential flow of inexorable destiny! Vol 1 - An ephemeral glance at feudal languages! Chapter Twelve Who should be kept at a distance? There are some other things that might need to be mentioned from the earlier hinted story of James Scurry. And that is about ‘ayitham’, or caste-based repulsion. In the earlier days, the Nairs used to exhibit very obvious ‘respect’ to the Brahmins. If the Nairs refuse to extend this ‘respect’ to the Brahmins, it would be a major cause for consternation for the Brahmins. It would be like the Indian police constables addressing the IPS officers with a ‘Nee’ (lowest form of YOU) and referring to them as ‘Avan’ / ‘Aval’ (lowest form of Him/Her). Such Nairs would be disliked and seen as repulsive elements. They are not fit for being allowed to come near. However, in the ordinary course of events, the Nairs would not dare to do this. For, if they dare to do this, it would be like placing an axe on the very same social structure which gives them superiority over a lot of other castes. At the same time, the populations who are in the lower strata would have no interest in upholding a social design wherein they are low. They would definitely refuse to extend ‘respect’ the moment they get a leeway to get away with it. The codes of feudal languages insist that such impertinent lower castes should be kept at a distance. Moreover, they should be physically and mentally drained, continually. Another item for noting is that there is no word corresponding to the concept of ‘respect’ found in feudal languages, in pristine-English. The word ‘Respect’ found in English has very little area of correspondence in the concept of ‘respect’ encoded in feudal languages. The ‘respect’ found in feudal languages is something that needs to be compulsorily extracted from another person by means of terrorising, intimidation, exhibition of physical prowess, enforcing subservience and such other sinister means. The concept of ‘Respect’ found in English is just a very simple and soft feeling that arrives in the mind due to seeing something good and admirable in another person or institution. It might be subtle and restrained, and also even divine in its softness. Previous Next 0. Book profile 1. The introduction 2. Subjective or objective? 3. The personal deficiencies 4.

March of the Evil Empires! English versus the feudal languages!! VED from VICTORIA INSTITUTIONS Anchor 1 First drafted in 1989. First online edition around 2000 PDF digital book version It is foretold! The torrential flow of inexorable destiny! Part 4 - A fast-paced contemplative glance Previous Next Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Contents Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Notes 1. The Mystical Powers of Language Now it is time to think of what all changes can come about in the USA, with the coming of a so-called global village. I would start the debate from the premises of my earlier postulate, and theory that language and words do have a sort of mystical power, which can be understood with no need to recourse to supernatural themes, but by just going through their running social communication software. Again there are a few themes to be borne in mind. First of all, America is an English nation, a creation of the British. It is prosperous because it is English. All around the world there are a large number of non-English nations, ruled and also under the thraldom of strong socially prominent groups, where the general population is not rich, and are living lives of high exploitation. A hundred dollars would be roughly equal to Rupees 5000/- in India. It may be understood that the vast majority of Indians have a monthly wage less than Rs.1000/-. An Ironworker in the construction industry would get around Rs.3000/- to Rs.6000/-, depending on his skills, and also provided he works on all days of the month. That is, a skilled Ironworker from India can displace any native-American skilled Iron worker if he is paid around 40 to 50 dollars per month. NOTE : The above paragraph was written circa 2000 AD. The American Heritage : America seemed to be a very intelligent nation, from its very infancy. However, this is a very wrong and incorrectly understood theme. For, even though USA seems a new nation, it came with centuries of British experience in nation running, military training, international trade, jurisprudence, administration, policing, town-planning and many other things, and also with the most wonderful of communication software, namely English. It is easy to treat this dialogue with a callous disdain. However, I know what difference it makes if a person or society knows English. For, I have had the opportunity to study at close quarters the difference in many personal attributes, there are between persons who are at ease in English and those who do not know English. Persons who were lucky enough to have been born in English nations do not really understand this factor, and many could even think that English is just like any other language, like say Spanish, French, German, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Chinese etc. They are making a very deep mistake, which can have very deep negative affects for the whole nation, if they come into decision-making positions, of their nations. The desperate attempts : Now before going further with the philosophical aspects of this theme, let me recount one incident in my life. It was the year 1987. I was in Madras city in Tamil Nadu state in India. Even then, I was very much concerned about the imminent crowding of English nations by non-English nationalities. Why I was deeply concerned about it does have a definite answer, but being a slightly complicated, yet lucid reason, cannot be dealt with here. One day a Management consultation firm, with which I was having a certain level of connection at that time, called me. When I went there, I saw two Sikh youths. I was told that they wanted to go to USA for permanent residence. Due to some reasons, they feared that their visa application for visit could be rejected. They were bent on going, for they said that their relatives were there and are eagerly awaiting them. Now, both of them did not know much English, and whatever they conveyed to me, was in a mixture of Hindi and broken English. They had presented two workable options to the consultants, who were not much experienced in this type of activities. The Sikh youth said that money was not an issue, if the ends could be achieved. The first option they presented was to contact the ISKON, that is the International Sri. Krishna Consciousness movement. IKSON was having periodic US tours for visiting their temples over there. The plan was to go with this tour, and once they reach US, their relatives would come and take them, and they could easily vanish. Though I was not intimately involved with this consultant firm, as a person who could do smooth communications, I did at times take up some part-time assignments. So, I went to the ISKON office in Madras. They informed me that one group of visitors would be presently going to USA, and my friends can also join them. The US tour was ostensibly for seeing the American ISKON temples. However, when I informed them that my friends were Sikhs, then they said it won’t be possible, as for one thing at that time, due to believed terrorist connections, it would not be possible to get visas. Moreover the visa officials tend to understand that Sikhs would not return, once they reach US. Now, the youths took out their second option. They wanted a visa to go to Mexico. Why? Because they said that once they reach Mexico, they can literally walk through the border to US, using money as a serviceable tool in Mexico. Their relatives in US would also be at hand to lend a hand. I don’t know what ultimately happened after that. For I met them only twice and then I moved out, and had no more contact with them and the consultant firm. I have narrated this incident just to bring into sharp focus the danger America is facing. For, when I did mention about the whole illegality of the whole process to the consultant firm’s senior person, he, with cynical brevity, told me that the present-day citizens of US are also immigrants, and the land is not theirs . So, anybody can go there, with no qualms. If the present-day natives of US do not get perturbed by this story, I can only pity them. For, they do not know what it is that is converging on all English nations, from all directions. I am saying this because all around me are persons with very contemptuous attitude to English citizens, and very egoistic about their own capabilities, and with a very feudal language software running in their minds. Yet they are in continuous and sincere planning to reach the English shores, as fast as possible. The underlying paradox : Before going on with the main theme, I want to tell another small incident. This was told to me by a person who is now in the US. Her one cousin was residing in the UK. He was in a sound and well-established business. The year was around 1986. This man wanted to marry. Though he was a citizen of UK, he wanted to marry a girl who was domiciled in his native nation only, that is India. Why? He told his cousin something to the effect that all English girls were, more or less, morally loose. With some allusion to the fact that he has had many of them. Naturally, he was not impressed with Indian girls living in England. He wants a homely girl, who has studied classical dances, and had imbibed the highly idolised Indian culture. Now, one may note this theme. Recently, that is around six months back, a man who is now residing in the USA came back for a few weeks. He lives with his wife over there in the US. Both are computer professionals. He told his friend that the White men are not good. For, if they come and invite them for any party, then they invariably look at his wife also, and invite her also for the party. At the party, they try to dance with her. It may not be easy to discern the paradox when both the stories are compared. In the first one, the hero wants to and does dance with English girls, and comes back with loud disdain for them. Yet he wants a wife who he can keep in isolation, and who cannot be induced to party with his English companions. In the second theme, the protagonist also, if he were alone, would hunger to dance with White girls and women, yet his own wife should be at a touch-me-not distance. I personally do not think that one needs to party and dance, if one is not at ease in such settings. For, in a free, country there would be immense other things to do, if one has the social calibre enough inside the brain. The stories that I have inserted here are just what I heard, and naturally I thought I would add them here. However, do not make me responsible for any uncomfortable feelings it may evoke. Mentally I do not have any affinity with both the groups involved.

- March of the evil empires!
March of the Evil Empires! English versus the feudal languages!! VED from VICTORIA INSTITUTIONS Anchor 1 First drafted in 1989. First online edition around 2000 PDF digital book version It is foretold! The torrential flow of inexorable destiny! Part 3 - the ramifications Previous Next Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Contents Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Notes 21. A case study Enron When the American Electric Company, Enron came to India, and tried to start an electricity-generating project, I was engulfed by a feeling of extreme uneasiness. Because of the fact that they were in a project, wherein a lot of government departments, political parties and public opinion would play a part. My foreboding was: Oh, my god, these persons would be sent from pillar to post, and made to wipe their nose in the feudal, bureaucratic gutters, and along with that they would have to shield themselves from the Indian social climate of open warmth, and behind-the-back derision . The greatest matter of concern would be that every solitary individual would have a feel of the vulnerability of himself or herself, when confronting the maddening mess of the feudal structure enforced by feudal languages. They would also see and accustom themselves to the techniques to override the effects of this insecurity. That of going for corrupt practices. Once a person practices this and enjoys it, or believes that this is the right path of salvation, then there are no limits of misdemeanour, it can take one to. Also the terrible feeling of being in the communication gutter if one does not have enough money can take a real hold on one, as one slowly gets used to the ways of feudal degrading thinking. The experience of Enron would have been one of moral degeneration, caused by association with persons of mean standards. And it has been their undoing. They are not the first to be stained by the feudal, corrupting influence of the subcontinent. Many early officials of the erstwhile East India Company did go through the same route. And they also did bring in its affects into Britain. One may remember the corruption, the connection with the feudal language nations has brought into the world of sports. When gentlemen take part in sports with a spirit of pure sportsmanship, then sports serve a purpose. Otherwise, all games with feudal language nations are a route to get corrupted, and also to spoil the game. One may remember the comments made by Maradona on the English football team (that the English team always sticks to the rules even when they are losing). It was a comment that never can come about a team from a feudal language nation; and one, which will not be even noticed by them. For, in these areas the concept of spirit of the game does not exist. They find no enjoyment in running a thing with a perfection of sublime rules and emotions. Their countrymen also cannot understand the pure rapture that can grip a man of refinement, when he see glory of flawless adhering to rules and conventions in the face of daunting impediments. But an exposure to people, who throw these things to the wind to catch a brief moment of glory, can make the person of refinement be at a loss, as to his right course of action. See this QUOTE 1: Even in Europe, one of Italy’s greatest ever strikers Silvio Piola felt that all was fair in love and war, saying that he too had scored with his hand against England, whilst representing Italy, and celebrated the goal. Piola suggested that Italian fans should remember this when Maradona returned to Italy after the World Cup. END OF QUOTE QUOTE2 : The common belief that a sense of fairness is an innate characteristic unique to the Corinthian spirit of the English, which other nations are unable to comprehend, is one that surely holds us back. END OF QUOTE From: http://www.worldsoccer.com/blogs/diego-maradona-the-hand-of-god-and-why-it-means-to-much-to-beat-england-343343 [ Note the terrible falsehood that has been inserted in the above sentence. English spirit is not Corinthian. What a lie!] One of the terrible affects of association with superior persons with feudal bearing is that one gets mentally subdued by their commanding personality, even though their sense of refinement may be lacking in various details. One sees and gets affected by the very obvious obsequiousness respect and awe they do command over persons who flock to them to pay homage, and enjoy being in their shadow. The sharp, tingling lower indicant words that they utter on their followers with splendid self-confidence can really impress many an Englishman, or any man interacting in English. For, such regimentation can never be achieved in English. Some persons may indeed feel their own unworthiness, in the presence of such majestic human beings. However, I would caution persons, who no doubt have been in such mental mood, including those from Britain, to refrain from going for an immediate self-depreciating mental mood. For, this grandiose posture is actually a very dangerous social component that can very easily kill an easygoing, yet efficient English social structure, if imbibed and transferred to any English nation. All impressions of effectiveness of this majestic feudal posture, is defective. For this social software is a very tedious and unmanageable one. One which may not function so easily in the long run or in the immediate absence of the essential motivating factor, which is the feudal personage.
