Hollywood Idols

This week David Letterman disclosed in his show that he secretly held sexual relationships with young female staff members, and most of these staff members eventually got promoted to higher positions in his show.

I live in a very liberal city , I asked the opinion of some of my male and female friends about David Letterman. They stated David Letterman is a "cool and chill dude", whatever he did was just between him and his wife to deal with and not for others to discuss. I was truly amazed with the liberal double standards. Here is a person that made jokes of Governor Palin and her daughters and now has taken advantage of young interns. I tried to speak about this man's transgression to my friends and that they should not look up to him. I told them why office sexual favors is inappropriate behavior and reflects on the organization's integrity,but all in vain my friends ostracized me for speaking against David Letterman.

Incidentally this month more Hollywood vice was on the news, from MacKenzie Philips to Polanski. Why is Hollywood speaking in favor of Polanski's transgressions, is it okay to sedate and rape a 13 year old? May be in Hollywood it is okay!

So if youth in America consider Hollywood celebrities to be role models. what about youth in the rest of the world? Hollywood widely releases its movies all over the world. Youth all over the world quickly pick up the lose morals of Hollywood such has drugs, sex and alcohol causing moral decadency in society.

What has happened to parents being good role models for their kids? Why isn't Jesus Christ a good role model? Why do most celebrities oppose movies based on Jesus Christ?

America is a world leader and the rest of the world looks up to us. If the best thing that comes out of America is Hollywood, what kind of role models are we to the rest of the world?

Peace and Salvation in this economy

This week Atma Nirvana and I met for breakfast to discuss some of life’s complex questions. We spoke about Peace  and Salvation. As we spoke about Peace in the journey of Life we came up with what we this is a way to attain peace. We believe that to attain peace one has to eliminate the want to attain more than what we require. We also need to remove jealousy from our life. We went a step further to connect peace with salvation ( मोक्ष ).

I have written a Poem that I would like to share with you all about life in these though times.  I personally know about my salvation and open to share it in person or upon request.

MS Hollywood

Millions like me

Come to thee

With dreams and not reality

Only to broken

For thee is a harsh mistress

Please be kind to me

Don’t break me

But mold me

Away from this reality

That leads to the recession

O the good old recession

That’s causing us to lead

In a vast depression

Where do I attain peace?

Is there salvation for me?

We first cut our memberships

To the places of luxury

Gyms and parlors

Close thy doors to us

For do we eat

Or do I look good starving

Do we keep our roof?

Or look at the stars

As we cry our self to sleep

We weep on our foolish past

Now we blame it on the recession

O the good old recession

That’s causing us to lead

In a vast depression

Where do I attain peace?

Is there salvation for me?

You took our dreams

Then our vanity

What next for thee

For the assurance of health

The insurance rises.

For they are a cruel system

That increases their rate

 Based on just a date

They don’t care for our health

All they do is raise their wealth

Even in the recession

O the good old recession

That’s causing us to lead

In a vast depression

Where do I attain peace?

Is there salvation for me?


P.S. Please share with us how you think one attains salvation.
