I Love You

If I say I love you it is not just words. It is coming out of my heart. It was love at first sight. I don’t know about you. But it was for me. I went out for shopping. In one of the shops you were also there at the same time and I fell in love with you.

There you were sitting along with many of your friends. Each one of them had different personality. But when I saw you I fell in love. It was so easy to love you. It felt natural, normal, and even nice. I slowly came near you and started to have small conversation to get to know you. You were calm and quite. You were more wonderful and lovely in my eyes.

The shopkeeper was eyeing you and me with suspicion. But I was not afraid of him. I told him I love you a lot and would like to get to know you. He did not want to lose a good customer like me so he looked the other way.

On that day you were so beautiful and sexy. Not only your outside physical appearance but your inner self also. You did not mind the fact that I am much older than you. I was extremely happy that you are Japanese. I know Japanese do not complain and take care of their men very well.

Finally you agreed to come home with me. I took you home. I was the happiest person. I did not leave you out of my sight day and night for the first few days. Perhaps you might have thought I was coming on strong. If you resented that, you did not show it outside. I respect you for that.

Every time I touch you I feel very happy. I become very emotional. Do you know before I touch you every time I pray God for our happiness and safety? You are my constant companion whether it is rain or shine. You are always there for me whether it is day or night. You stand by me whether I am in a good mood or bad mood. You always accompany me whether I go to a restaurant in happiness or hospital with pain and sorrow.

I love you. I love every little thing about you. I love the warmth I feel when I’m by your side. I can't stop thinking about you when we are apart. You mean the world to me. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. You are the one I've always wished for. I never thought that I would ever meet someone as special as you. I love each and every moment I share with you

Thank you for coming home with me. Thank you for agreeing to live with me. I love you my favorite Honda Pilot SUV.

Commandamendments

There is a news item that Rev. Tim Jones of England told his congregation that it is sometimes acceptable for desperate people to shoplift – as long as they do it at large national chain stores, rather than small family businesses. There goes the Eighth Commandment: Neither shalt thou steal.

If there is an exception to one commandment, there should be exception to other commandments also. Rev. SG termed them as “command amendments”. Therefore, here is Rev. SG’s sermon to his blogging congregation.

The Fifth Commandment – Honor thy father and thy mother

Rev. SG says: You have to honor your parents even if you put them in a Senior Citizens Home. Make sure to send this note on Mother’s Day.

“I love you mom. I will always love you. I wish there was a way I could repay all the things you have done for me. Therefore, I have already tipped the messenger who is bringing you this Mother’s Day card and flowers. You do not have to tip him”.

Rev. SG also says: There are no commandments that teach us how to treat our brothers and sisters. If some one wants to know, I would refer them to the Sixth Commandment.

The Sixth Commandment – Thou shalt not kill

Rev SG says: You should not kill anyone, even in war. But I will allow an exception to this commandment. If there is a riot initiated by a political party, it is alright to kill innocent ordinary people. The best would be to lock a bus with full of people and set it on fire.

I have a question. Why do we kill people who kill people to show that killing people is wrong?

The Seventh Commandment – Neither shalt thou commit adultery

Rev SG says: Do not commit adultery. If you commit adultery, do not get caught. Do not go after it. But if it comes in your way do not leave it. But pretend as if you are resisting. Remember Bill Clinton. He is an excellent example of how not to do it. The bottom line is “thou shalt not admit adultery”.

I have to tell a story here. In a village a priest was annoyed that so many people committed adultery. He hated the word “adultery”. He told the people to use the word “fallen” when they commit adultery and come to church for confession. This practice was going on for some years. Then a new priest came. He did not know this code word. He heard so many people fell. So he told the mayor of the village to repair the roads so that people may not fall. The mayor just laughed realizing no one told the new priest regarding this code word. The priest got angry and he asked the mayor: How come you can laugh at this time? Even your wife fell three times last week.

The Eighth Commandment – Neither shalt thou steal

Rev SG says: I fully support Rev. Tim Jones’ view on this amendment. I would also go one step further. If you think you are just taking it from another person it will not be considered as stealing.

If you steal ideas from one person it is called plagiarism. If you steal ideas from many people it is called research. Therefore, if you steal from many people it is not considered as breaking the Eighth Commandment.

The Ninth Commandment - Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbor

Rev SG says: This is a fancy phrase for simply saying “Don’t Lie”. But you can camouflage it by other words. If you classify a lie as an excuse, it is not a lie. It is very easy to lie. Most lies go undetected. But keep it short. “Sorry” “Traffic jam” “I do not remember”.

If you are lying do not provide more details than necessary to answer the question. If you provide detailed explanation and even if it is true, the listener will think you are lying.

In addition, if you lie to your children it will not be considered as breaking the Ninth Commandment. Same goes to lying to your spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend. To your boss? Ok Ok by the powers vested in me by the State of California, I pronounce it is not a lie.

Google (Continuation)

I wrote a post on Google in which I said Google is considering closing their operations in China rather than cooperating with that government’s directive. I also wrote about obeying the local law or disobeying the local law if they consider that as illegal in their own country.

All the comments were unanimous in saying that they should obey the local law.

This morning I read that France is considering banning Islamic dress (including full Muslim veil) anywhere in public. There are some countries that ban sikhs wearing a turban.

I would like to ask the opinion of the readers.

Do they obey the local law?

Do they stay in that country and protest?

Do they just leave that country?
