We are too much taken up with words

People are more offended when I call an Idiot an Idiot, than they are when they see a poor woman molested.

Here, the 'word' pundit would immediately latch on to the word, 'poor,' and might say, a Diplomat is not a poor person.

Idiocy. Let us learn to stick to the Main things, Getting Offended by words, than by a Molestation.

Let us come to this particular case:

If You call me an Idiot, I do not know how many would laugh at me.

But, (DO Excuse me), if somebody had lifted Your Sister's skirt, and I had seen it, and I tell it to the World, tell me the World would NOT be Snickering at Your Sister.

Authors, Speakers, Gurus, have a veritable Responsibility to see that the message Reaches Home.

One Very famous example that comes to my mind is that of the Zen Master telling somebody, who had kept ON enquiring as to Just what the Buddha was , with these words: "The Buddha is a Toilet Stick." (Those being things they used in place of 'toilet paper.') Zen is Complicated, (and at the Same time Simple!). The Master's answer meant: Stop asking such questions, and pay attention to what 'you' really 'need.'

So let us Stop Acting Shocked over Words, and BURN over Issues. The Sacred Heart of Jesus is doing JUST THAT.
