I C and I R weddings!

That is only one way of looking at it.

Now let us look at it again from another drishtikone:

Happiness is a slippery term.

Her parents are not happy obviously. His parents were not happy either.They are suffering the pain and the pain is going to remain there for ever. When we cause pain to others the happiness we get is not happiness as it is tinged with sorrow. Period.

She has just introduced confusion in her child's mind. And not values. A child does not understand higher philosophy. Does not know how to sublimate things. It perhaps silently suffers when compared to another child which is moving ahead even casting religion aside because it is sure that it belongs to a certain religion.

Religious faith is not about tastes which affect the taste buds and nor is it about fancies as to the color of a dress which looks good on a person. It is about belief and principles at a far higher plane. You can have true love and yet have strong differences. There is no need to paper over the differences this way.

Yes. There is no difference with this wish for this drishtikone. May God bless you and your family with real happiness, peace, health and prosperity.

If this sounds harsh, please excuse. That was not the intention. The intention is to speak truth and truth only even amidst swaying minds carried away by the need to appear to be good. But at what cost??
