\"Dr.<\/a>

Dr. Jagath Asoka<\/p><\/div>\n

Now, almost everybody hates Hitler; when he was in power, almost everybody feared him. I was talking to my son about lies, and I said, \u201cSmall lies are essential for survival<\/b>.\u201d He asked, \u201cDo you know what Hitler said about lying; I said, \u201cNo.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cIf you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.<\/b>\u201d<\/p>\n

I am partially dyslexic: You see God and Temples, when I write about Dogs and Kennels.<\/p>\n

I like what Hitler said about himself and others: \u201cDo not compare yourself to others. If you do so, you are insulting yourself.<\/b>\u201d<\/p>\n

This article is not about Hitler or Einstein, but about Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and Obama. I am going to paraphrase one of my favorite quotes by Obama: When I walk into a room, you do not see my white mother; you see a black man. So, I am going to give what you want.<\/b><\/p>\n

I respect both Gandhi and Martin Luther King:\u00a0Gandhi liberated India from the British Empire; Martin Luther emancipated black Americans: Emancipation without violence.<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/b>Do not preach Buddhism to me: If you do, please protect your left and right cheeks, because I might kiss them.<\/p>\n

I agree with Gandhi about acid. Anger is like acid; it eats the vessel. If I were a physicist, I would also agree with him about electricity.<\/p>\n

But I think anger is also like nuclear energy:\u00a0 If you channel it properly, you can produce electricity; or turn into Hiroshima and Nagasaki.<\/p>\n

According to Gandhi, there are two types of anger: Physical and emotional<\/b>. On CT we see only emotional anger. There is a connection between these two types. When you get angry and insult people, they will kill you.<\/p>\n

Buddhism is just a part of what we call religion. Non-religion is when you borrow from all religions.<\/p>\n

Is \u201cPonnaya\u201d<\/b> a bad word, or a just a crude but effective way of describing abominable behavior?<\/p>\n

Compare yourself: Now and a second later; are you the same person?<\/p>\n

American Newspapers do not publish if your opinion is longer than a page. So, what is E = M2<\/sup>. Hint: E= Emancipation. I am tired of verbosity. Next week, I am going to enter an asylum; I will write to you from my cell.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you win, you need not have to explain; if you lose, you should not be there to explain!\u201d-Hitler<\/i>. Dilka Samanmali: Wow, a new Dilka.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
