Love and Hate Online
Posted by PhoenixRising Oct 10, 2000 02:00 am
Hi Zeenat.

I liked your site but there`s just so much there to read, i just hope I can find the time. *smile *

I see that your personal site is on the same server as mine. 8m.com

Keep up the good work, and I`ll try not to upstage you with my replies. It`s just that the net thingy was something I have been through and felt ``qualified`` to respond to it.

From Karachi,

Phoenix

Awakening Hopeful,

Being Christian, I can help you out with that quote from the Bible.

A woman who had committed a sin was cast out and to be stoned. Jesus intervened and stopped them saying, ``Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.`` It was meant to be a lesson to all that if someone is willing to honestly repent for their sins then they should be forgiven and that all are equal in the eyes of God.

As for the Sufi`ism, I`m sure there are a number of ways in which to interpret it. Hoewvere, I see no parallel between the two.

If you want to discuss this further, I`m all ears. Or eyes as the case may be. *smile *

Phoenix.

Interesting article.

Men and women are poles apart. We berate the opposite sex for the way they are and say we just don`t understand them. How many of us have actually tried?

Men, most men anyway, when they look at women other than the one whose live they happen to be sharing at the time, do so for the moment itself. A man may admire Kate Moss, personally,I find her TOO thin, but he remains with the one he has because he knows Kate will never be his. Women don`t seem to understand that, do they? They get all antsy and hysterical, yet they look at guys other than their own with a lusting that men can only dream of.

I don`t see anything wrong in the way you described yourself, Ayesha. But self-loathing is something people have to get over on their own. Somtimes ``the blade`` seems to be the answer but we all know it`s not. If people can`t expect you for the way you are, find someone who will. Or change their way of thinking. Just don`t kill yourself in the process.

Awakening hopeful [#61]

The nickname, yes, is in reference to Phoenix, the legendary bird that arises from it’s own ashes. There is somewhat of a parallel. No, it’s not literal but, in a sense, I have risen from the ashes of my past. Thanks for the appreciation.

Yes, whenever I can, I will offer my clean and fresh insights. Though, I am not from the West Coast. It shouldn’t really surprise you that I am in Karachi and have been since the day I was born. There are a few of us here with some intellect and emotional capacity. As for the way I write... I have a few books in the works... all I need is to complete them and find a publisher. *smile *
