I think I might of fallen in love
I think I might of fallen in love with an Indian woman. Her name is Arundhati Roy and she is absolutely wonderful. Such a good writter so passionate and articulate. And beautiful too
I am going to share two quotes from her book “The algebra of infinate justice”.
“The only dream worth having is to dream that you will live while your alive and die only when you are dead”
In response to what the above quote means she writes:
“To love. To be loved. To never forget your insignificance. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget.”

They’re good quotes.
But that’s the second time you’ve announced being in love when you’re not really. You’re like the boy who cried wolf. Please refrain from announcing your love for things or people you can’t marry. You’re blog audience will lose trust.

Sorry Tom. OK I won’t announce my love again until it’s a romantic love with some chance of me marrying the person.

I like her lots. Thanks for sharing the quotes because I like them but I haven’t read that book, or even know it existed. She is lovely.

Can I be in love with her since it won’t confuse anybody?

Ms. Roy is a cheerleader for the fascists, both religious and secular, who would like to take over the country of Iraq despite being vast minorities in the population. The same ones who set off bombs with the intent of killing as many civilians as possible.
Were you in love with Eva Braun, too?

Hmmm.. Scott you intrigue me. From my reading of Ms Roy I have found her to be a supporter of non-violence.
I am interested to know who you think should administer Iraq? And whether the American’s are justly there.
I think what you may be refering to is an interview where she supported non-violent resistance to the occupying forces.

I think you may by mentioning Eva Braun have invoked Godwin’s Law. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwins_law).
