Never changing history of two intellectual brahmins

If there are two Brahmins there exist two hundred contradictory opinions--- This is not because they are considered to be intellectuals but for the reason that they are egoist and each one think of one's own self is more intelligent than the other.Everybody has the right to think that they "RIGHT". BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO THINK OTHERS ARE ALWAYS WRONG. Pitiful learned people.

Shri yesmohan sir,

You are right, but the adage is "one hundred monks and hundred and one religions" or something like that; what I am trying to point out is that this argumentativeness is not special or peculiar to brahmins only.

Secondly, it has been said often, in our old books of worldly wisdom, that learning or vidyaa, automatically brings in "vidyaa garvam" or haughtiness of learning. It was perhaps due to this fact that many of our great religious Acharyas of the past had to "argue" out with their opponents and win the discussions, in order to establish their own theory, philosophy, etc. In our commentary books on various upanishads and so on, you will often find that the author states the "poorvapaksha" or the opposite view and then refutes it by valid logical arguments which were acceptable at least in those old times (may not be now, perhaps).

This forum, though a 'bulletin-board', survives because of the web traffic it generates; and for people to log in and see what bulletins are here, there must be some things which are attractive to them. There is nothing like a heated argument (the best is porn, but we cannot have that here, you see!) to induce people to come in and see. And, if you see carefully, arguments become efficacious only when some or all the parties to an argument uphold the noble motto of "I aline am right; all of you are wrong!"

For a person with enlightenment like you it was possibly easy to make a moniker with "yes" preceding the name and I think all of us should take a lesson from that and become "yes" people hereafter!

Dear Sir,

I think this happens in many situations and not solely a Brahmin issue.

Simple example..just let 2 women cook in a kitchen and see how both would start fighting..one cook would think she is better than the other one.

About Germans, it used to be said :

One German = Mad scientist
Two Germans = Beer parlour
Three Germans = War
 
Madam,
I could not argue with you; They may be Brahmin cooks; More over irrespective of caste No two women will ever agree and see eye to eye, a problem/situation.
