However it is not pragmatic to announce it to people especially people close to us.

Good theory, but I guess its difficult to accept in the real life. I mean its one of those ideal kinda situations which you can only hope to be in but never quite achieve, simply becos it doesnt exist - how do i put it - its ideal but not realistic.<BR/><BR/>and whats more important is the consequence of such a theory - i think this theory can become dangerous, if its twisted n manipulated according to our convi=enience, then the outcome can be disastrous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
