Jewish Faith
What is hateful to you, do not to your fellow men. That is the entire Law; all the rest is commentary.
The Talmud
Tzu-kung asked, 'Is there a single word which can be a guide to conduct throughout one's life?' The Master said, 'It is perhaps the word shu. Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire.'
Analects, 15.24

Its spiritual week here at Ruman's Blog.
The Golden Rule
The Golden Rule or the ethic of reciprocity is found in the scriptures of nearly every religion. It is often regarded as the most concise and general principle of ethics. It is a condensation in one principle of all longer lists of ordinances such as the Decalogue.
Day 1.
Bahá'í Faith
And if thine eyes be turned towards justice, choose thou for thy neighbour that which thou choosest for thyself.
_Epistle to the Son of the Wolf_, 30
Do not do unto others what angers you if done to you by others.
Isocrates 436-338 BCE

You are The Cap'n!
What's Yer Inner Pirate?
brought to you by The Official Talk Like A Pirate Web Site. Arrrrr!
Some men are born great, some achieve greatness and some slit the throats of any man that stands between them and the mantle of power. You never met a man you couldn't eviscerate. Not that mindless violence is the only avenue open to you - but why take an avenue when you have complete freeway access? You are the definitive Man of Action. You are James Bond in a blousy shirt and drawstring-fly pants. Your swash was buckled long ago and you have never been so sure of anything in your life as in your ability to bend everyone to your will. You will call anyone out and cut off their head if they show any sign of taking you on or backing down. You cannot be saddled with tedious underlings, but if one of your lieutenants shows an overly developed sense of ambition he may find more suitable accommodations in Davy Jones' locker. That is, of course, IF you notice him. You tend to be self absorbed - a weakness that may keep you from seeing enemies where they are and imagining them where they are not.

Its time for the joke of the day.....ta-da.....(trumpets sound in a distance)
A man left his cat with his brother while he went on vacation for a week. When he came back, the man called his brother to see when he could pick the cat up. The brother hesitated, then said, ''I'm so sorry, but while you were away, the cat died."
The man was very upset and yelled, ''You know, you could have broken the news to me better than that. When I called today, you could have said he was on the roof and wouldn't come down. Then when I called the next day, you could have said that he had fallen off and the vet was working on patching him up. Then when I called the third day, you could have said he had passed away.''
The brother thought about it and apologized.
"So how's Mom?" asked the man.
"She's on the roof and won't come down."
Post more soon.

My Greek Civ. Professor finally solved the issue that had taxed me for a long time.....Why are animal's named so rough while their meat is named very stylish.
Here is an example.
No one says, I'll have a pig...they say pork
No one says I'll have a swine...they say ham.
Similarly people call cow..beef
deer...veal
lamb..mutton.
Well, that is because German is a low level language while french is a hig class language.
All the farmers and meat herders spoke german, while meat eaters spoke french.
Therefore it was in the evolution of the Indo-Europeans that the language classification was formed.

........damm; I could not update for a couple of days despite having lots of things to say. That I belive is one of the most frustrating things.
Did anyone catch the MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) two days ago?
DID YOU ALL SEE BRITNEY OPEN MOUTH KISS MADONNA and then MADONNA KISS CRISTINA AUGUILIRA.
I bet every guy on the planet who saw that must have had the same expression I did. I doubt anything can ever recreate that expression.
Anyway on other notes, I finally started my new job at the dorm food court downstairs.
Had fun . Made $102.50 in 3 days. Today is the third day.
They made me scrub the entire main kitchen. And lets not forget all the dishes.....but it was good training.
Post more soon. My fingers hurt like crazy. I have cleaned more stuff in the last two days than I have in my lifetime.

Well Well, I felt it was my moral duty as a seeker of information and wisdom over the internet to post a link so that people who did not see mars could view some pretty pictures.
So here is the link....(Finally. Sorry to make you wait dad.)

P.S Today was the first day I wore my new lenses...Woo-Hoo. 3 cheers to corrective vision

After the bomb blasts I felt it was necessary to post something worthwhile...now that I re-read the post I made earlier this morning, I feel that my post was out of anger and not rational.
So here is my new blog....
Lyrics of a song by Black Eyed Peas...called Where is the love
...Note only certain sections have been posted:::
What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate
People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek
Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)
It just ain't the same, always unchanged
New days are strange, is the world insane
If love and peace is so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With the ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin' in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the love, y'all
People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek
Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love
The love, the love
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' our own direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids act like what they see in the cinema
Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Instead in spreading love we spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive to lovers bound
People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek
Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love
The love, the love
Peace.

Damm you terrorists...
Another bomb blasts in BOMBay.........or Mumbai...sounds better.
I hope the people responsible are caught and then I would pay to see each one of them tortured and killed.
The attacks are a repeat of 10 years ago...just hope riots do NOT follow the pattern as well....

Hanging out in NY with my cousin.
He sure has a NICE setup going here. Huge speakers, nice dvd collection, a fast computer with an even fast net conncetion.
GOing to Manhattan tonight to check out my sisters new apartment. I'll stay there overnight and check out some of the best haunts in the 'village'.
Should be a fun week.

Attended the Indian Independance Day celebrations in the temple in Getzville,Buffalo. NY
It was fun. Lots of stalls with Indian food and Indian music and dance.
There were some raffles and I happened to win a 1930 Caddilac....yeah
Not a car (as I thought) but a picture (Its really awesome) of the car.
Got the Indian flag tatooed on my biceps.......kiddin maa. I got it painted.
But the clear highlight was when my aunt gave ME the keys to her beemer and said I could drive it home. AND I DID.......nuff said me thinks
