Olympics
As I lay on the chiropractor's pelvic adjustment table, I ask my doc
sca: So Rick are you following the Olympics ?
Rick: Naah. Not really.
sca: They dont seem to be that popular here.
Rick: Well thats because they are happening in Athens. We Americans dont much bother about whats going on in the rest of the world. You see we are very narrow minded (read stupid)

Now that can make an Indian person like me who seems to know a little more of whats happening outside of his city/country more feel good, but that raises one more question. Is your open mindedness really measured by how much you know about the outside world ? What if my mental eyes are filtered by narrow prisms of pre-concieved notions? Its like having this huge 1 m dia reflector telescope but the concave mirror at the end is cheap and covered with dust. So whats required for true perception, true insight ? Maybe Sant Kabir has the answer -

"Pothi Padh Padh Kar Jag Mua, Pandit Bhayo Na Koye
Dhai Aakhar Prem Ke, Jo Padhe so Pandit Hoye"


Translation
Reading books everyone died, none became any wise
One who reads the word of Love, only becomes wise
