Mannequin was more of symbolic , if you will. I might have used an animal but was little skeptical 'bout it. Isnt a wooden dummy slightly better than a psychopath or wife beater ?
I am sorry but I think you're really not understanding my point. It could be because I am not being clear enough. My point is that it is utter hypocrisy to learn by rote ancient scriptures on jyotish and then selectively forget what other ancient scriptures say about hate/malevolence and what they say about forgiveness/grace.
I do not endorse being a martyr by placing my head on the guillotine and mutely suffering injustice is WRONG. But of all these people flooding the
relationship and marriage section with tales of trouble, do we really know how many are actually suffering gravely and how many are crying because they have microscopic levels of tolerance?
I would really like to know how many of these people have faced psychopaths or wife beaters?
I am sure the selflessness, forgiveness and whatever other qualities you mentioned dont dissipate with time, inspite of an abusive partner...obviously the 'Power of Love' will change him/her one day...and Vola ! Sun rises from the west ?
It is indeed sad that you do not know how to talk about someone else's viewpoint without mocking them.
And it is also sad that maybe you never experienced a change based on the power of goodness and love, neither in yourself or in the subject of your love or in the people around you.
We get so blown away with tales of woe that we forget about randomness. There will always be a mix of everything in a population. People around the world die being convoluted as they were and people around the world also die changed men and women. You really think every criminal, evil-doer in this world dies without changing or redeeming themselves?
AND Yes LOVE...I agree, me and few others here might not be able to acknowledge the 'POWER OF LOVE', but I am sure you have experienced it ... and you seem to endorse it. All the best with it !
Love - See I am not trying to use the 'WE' factor here but may be you have witnessed and experienced 'Love' that most of us are not blessed with...thats why the complains and all the frustration. I feel its the dasha and planetary transits we go through that pollutes our minds and the 'Power of Love' eventually gets so foggy to us. I tend to store LOVA charts and just had a quick glance at your chart, Please dont get me wrong on this but would you mind reiterating 'LOVE and its POWERS' back on this forum... say in Dec 2012 ? I will love to hear back from ya...

Wow! How toxic!
I am sorry if I hadn't known you were older than I, I would have kind of understood the way you let your reply go wayward.
It makes me smile because you assumed I endorse love since I have had such a good run with it. Without going into explanations I would just say that had you known about my experiences you wouldn't have written that.
The difference is not that I got the more colorful, the bigger, the better present in the birthday party. The difference is in our perspectives.
That was an extremely below the belt attack. Using someone else's chart, stored from before, in an unrelated conversation and trying to intimidate them by saying terrible times lie ahead of them.
Dear sinecurve I lost my father when I was fourteen years old. Did it occur to you that my comments were not based on a smooth, candyfloss life so far? Maybe they were based on having seen and surmounted a lot already and knowing
now that no matter what happens I can take it, and be with God?
