We all take ourselves way too seriously.

If I could but laugh at my own follies... what burdens would be lifted from my mind...
if I could but eliminate the heaviness from the challenges I face in life.... how much lighter my steps would be in overcoming my moments of character building
if I could but engage more and more in unadulterated laughter...
I would certainly find... my own fountain of youth.

Dr. Chopra
I saw that episode of Iconoclasts and I think I watched it two or three times.
It was extremely moving. I will never forget the child, I believe his name was Jorge, asking you about Religion and what it meant and you told him it was about love - at the end of the phone call he said I love you - the light in your eyes and the smile on your face was as bright and big as any I'd every seen - I was so touched I cried.
I am looking forward to seeing the movie.

Ah ha and ha ha.

Chopra is a great guy with charm and a sense of humor. As an atheist, I was skeptical at first about his guru-ness, but he is actually one of the more insightful of today's so called spiritual commentators.

And religions do really need to chill. There is nothing that screams out lunacy than thinking one is blasphemed against. If God exists, s/he surely can take a joke, otherwise s/he's pretty unappealing as a deity. the same goes for cultures. Now if the movie showed Hindus who are mostly vegetarians eating all sorts of nasty critters and acting in starkly orientalist caricatures like in Temple of Doom which is indeed a racist and colonialist movie, then I would be first on the barricades. That offense is inexcusable.
