glasses.

"The Nature of Jade"
The unsuccessful person falls for the ritualistic hypocrisies of religion. Such
hypocrisies give birth to false hopes, and false hopes lead to performing wrong
deeds. Wrong karma induces more sorrows; and more the miseries, more the
person falls for religious hypocrisies. Such a sorry state of human beings is
solely owed to being trapped in this vicious circle.
-Deep Trivedi
Don't know why religious people and their religious sentiments are so weak that
they get hurt every now and then... As such it is understandable, the slightest
tremor is enough to cause the debilitated structures to collapse.
-Deep Trivedi
Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy the mad daughter of a wise mother. These daughters have too long dominated the earth.
