"Ahhhhh, LION! LIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON. RUN!!!!!1!" *Oh wait - It's just a picture of a lion. Never mind. False alarm.* "Everyone back to their places."Welcome.
Hola, wilkommen. Войдите.
Well, the place I frequent the most is just the journal section to get my thoughts out. Philosophy is nice, though!
Hello and welcome!
"Singh" means lion. Most Sikhs have the surname Singh.
I take it you're not a Sikh, then?

Ooooh, multi-language (Spanish, German/Dutch, Russian). Nice. Do you fluently speak all three (four, English)?

What do you like about the philosophy section the most?
I am not one much for journaling, though I do write quite a bit.

I am not Sikh, though I have seen a few in my life, and have known a few converts from Sikh to Christianity. Good people, as I knew them. Loving, kind, always a smile.

Heya.
I noticed you are Hindu, and saw your avatar pic, and pondered, "Why, blue?" Some interesting things came to be realized, but if I may offer another thought for you, in exchange for the great welcome and thought?
A thought: Look up into the depth of the heavens ('space' if you will, though that term is rather 'empty' sounding) at night, and what do you see? Mostly what with a little bit of what scattered here and there? Now if you said 'black', with a little bit of 'light' (stars), I want you to think a little more deeply. If you were to look even more closely (zoom in) at the 'black' between what you can presently see as 'light', what would you then see? Now, do this a few times, and what do you now "see"? Are you surrounded by 'black' or ...?
If this made sense, let me know.

In some reading I've been doing, the 'blue' skin of Krishna is compared to the sky. Why blue? When you look at the sky, there it is. Blue as can be(considering the weather doesn't interfere). But, the closer you get to the 'sky', the less blue it appears... indeed, you find the sky is everywhere.
The same can be said for the blackness of space and Mother Kali...

That's what I also have read about in Hindu literature. There is a certain logic about the blue/black in regards representing infiniteness, which is why I wanted to give you the additional thought about the 'light'. Perhaps we can speak more elsewhere in the forums. Where do you post most frequently, perhaps there might be better, on another day.

I post here, there, and everywhere. I'm sure we'll cross paths again.
Interesting thoughts!

Oh, great. Another one of those verbose people who won't shut up.

Welcome. Did you use the correct smiley? The smiley for RealSighentists is this:
Grandpa's colleague in the neighborhood had this, so sometimes grandpa was called to attend phone calls. I suppose the voice got lower if it was not cranked up. We did like the ringing of the bells.
