Had two great days of salsa dancing around philly. connected with some rare people in strange ways.
Yesterday the live music stood out, did not feel that much in van, but this one in the casino just got me going, sad that the floor got too crowded for me to try more dancing.
Got to dance a very good bachata with nicol, it was very flattering after that to have her come ask me to dance a few times. And she is so sweet with a sense of humor. Just her body piercings freaking me out a bit. Other than that, she is so pretty, cute and seems to have the softest body.....hmmmm, never knew anyone who is so soft.
Genuine respect will come about if we have more contact with one another and come to understand each other’s values. This is how we will develop admiration and appreciation for each other. - Dalai Lama
VALUES, that is the core. Some people are not lucky to have had good role models in their parents and probably were neglected during the growing phases (eg Eva). Well all I can do is pity her and hope she does not end up doing the same to her kids or worse case not end up giving her kids the same sick, crooked, lying, cheating values she developed and seemes to think is fine.
Hmmmm it was funny, I kept repeating that we have very different values of morality as human beings and yet was hoping like every fool in love that she would be able to realize what I was telling her about her dark side. Good lesson learnt in human behavior and not to confuse reality with hope. :)
Same is true with Malini, she seem to have the values of the french queen, let the peasants eat cake. Well again the same case of growing up with misplaced values of selfishness of the sick snobbish rich. Its surely not her mistake that she was born very rich, with servants and people to do all her things and not care about the poor hard working people. She just assumes that poor people are lazy and are people who do not like to work and hence they need to be treated bady, arrogantly and dis-respectfully. How could someone think so lowly about a whole class of working people is something I am not even able to imagine.
IT was funny to hear her say, even her mom does not know to cook. And her inability to be able to live a simple life. Always wanting only first class hotels and stuff. Tooooo much of a princess.
And I have cousins who are much richer than her and who love to cook for the family. The most surprising fact, they know to cook all kinds of world food, even thou they never traveled to those countries. Just from reading books and talking with their friends.
So I guess good parents are hard to come by who would teach their kids Values and hard, honest working ethics. Which in turn teaches them about respecting other creatures in our world.
Two examples of extreme life styles but united in common low Values of lying and cheating.
Thank god and the universe for giving me parents and grand parents who guided me with good values. Hopefully I will be able to practice it to the full extend of their teaching.
