A persons LSD hallucination can tell a lot about that person, it's really like a mirror into your soul.<br><br>It has a high success rate are you kidding me? I guess that may be due to the fact those who do go into such arrangements don't have any freedom whatsoever in the first place and hence dissent is unlikely from them.

You see Vibhash you're confusing the symptom with the disease, the thing with arranged marriages is that they point to something; a society with no respect for an individuals identity. If they did understand and respected it, then they wouldn't be violating the choice of an individual by using the will of the majority. What standards allow this? Isn’t this after all a form of bullying?<br><br>My point is that when two <i>individuals</i> love each other, they aren't going to violate each other in anyway, emotional or physical. After all the words "I love you" are meant for those who understand the concept of <i>I</i>. <br><br>I wish the same could be said for those who have been forced to live for the rest of their lives with a complete stranger, would they respect each other in the same manner? Don't those crimes, in fact any crime, happen due to the failure to respect the sovereignty an individual? If you connect the dots then you will see that these collectivists are the reason why you find the moral fabric of this society rupturing; they have no ethics to speak of because ethics require a standard against which you measure the world, what standard do they have? How can they, the people who apply double standards in life, have any standard at all? <br><br>Do you understand what I am trying to say?Stevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-351069863973132986.post-49248535997645892042008-06-05T04:07:00.000-07:002008-06-05T04:07:00.000-07:00as per ur logic societies whr culture of arrange m...as per ur logic societies whr culture of arrange marriages is not so prevelant shud have lesser of crimes because they give respect to individuals choice more than we do? am i correct?Vibhash Prakash Awasthihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10560503953678264848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-351069863973132986.post-23101245613718008582008-06-05T10:00:00.000-07:002008-06-05T10:00:00.000-07:00"culture of arranged marriages" is not p..."culture of arranged marriages" is not prevelant doesnt imply that everything is hunky dory.<br>its just that society, ANY society, has to respect the "individual". <br>And in doing so respect themeselves. that, in any case, is what steve said. its very important to have a certain amt of integrity, and self-respect. which ppl seem to lack here. like mr mishra, who didnt get his silencer repaired.<br><br>nice post eve. i'll read more of this. :)blythenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-351069863973132986.post-74139491444381716702008-06-05T10:21:00.000-07:002008-06-05T10:21:00.000-07:00"its very important to have a certain amt of ..."its very important to have a certain amt of integrity, and self-respect. which ppl seem to lack here."....tell me whr ppl have it more?? and tell me abt tht society also...btw who said tht ""culture of arranged marriages" is not prevelant doesnt imply that everything is hunky dory."Vibhash Prakash Awasthihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10560503953678264848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-351069863973132986.post-89174477294877971632008-06-05T21:59:00.000-07:002008-06-05T21:59:00.000-07:00Blythe --> Thank you too!

Marriage is not equivalent to love. Which is why the whole concept of live-in relations came up. There are people who use that as a softer option than marriage. And there are those who look at it like it's marriage without the legal hassles.<br>It's an arrangement, where, you stay an individual. You share what you want to share. You don't what you don't want to.<br><br>You know, marriage is a deeper relation than, say being friends, because you're living your life together. But, while you may not "love" a lot of your acquaintances, I can surely hope you're not going to rape them either. What I mean is, respect for the individual has to come with/without love. Love might be one way. But that doesn't mean that if you don't love your wife, you are allowed to beat her up!Espèrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00312759044190536243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-351069863973132986.post-34966975701677283112008-07-26T06:53:00.000-07:002008-07-26T06:53:00.000-07:00He addresses Mrs Kohli as Mrs Kohliji.
