hi

The devil is a sharp guy, because he doesn't have the psychological
inhibitions of principles / codes of conduct ! But, only pitfall is that he
has tons of ego ! Even anger is ok - ego is worse - Kill ego first - u will
find a lot of other evils vanishing, automatically, including anger, mostly
! Most cases of anger are due to ego, the illegitimate, trivial cause.
Anger is just an instantaneous annoyance - and absolutely legitimate !

Most of us follow principles and codes of conduct, not to lead a better life
or actualise self - rather, to satisfy ego - fix an identify ! Raghu will be
better known as a man of principles than as someone without, whether or not
I follow the same consciously ! I claim to be patient and am pseudo
patient - why - just for the heck of gaining the recognition - Raghu, the
man of patience. Some are even desperate to prove that they have no ego -
ain't that ego ? It is merely a gesture to establish an identity for his
self that he is a man of nil ego ! The real non egotist will go cool,
irrespective of what this world might say. (not thick skinned, exactly -
they do a lot of self introspection and will be on the right track most
times, that the others are) & they keep unto themselves.

Youngsters start fixing their identity, from their teens ! My name, my
school, my pen, my handwriting, my signature, my identity, my language... &
in this pursuit, lose sight of their core duty ! Most of their positive
energy gets negative.

And, Respect is demanded, by elders(so called), unfortunately - simply,
because they are not able to command the same. The criterion? Well, age,
buddy - that is what they have aplenty, ain't it?
Take it straight, buddy - Age / Birth certificate cannot be a criterion for
respect ! The unstoppable process of time, makes everyone on planet older
irrespective of whether they are good or bad, whether they are worthwhile /
worthless, helpful / helpless - irrespective of even whether they are humans
or animals !!! Ain't it ??

Keep it simple - No conscious mistake - that's it !

Raghu
