Hi!

The world has shrunk...ethier through travel or through colonial conquest...as in the Muslim times....and that brings me to the same problems posed to Guru Nanak Dev jee...the problem of human realtions...not that they havenot been expounded before in history..it`s just tha wen born people have to work things out themselves and experiment..reinvent the wheel ..because the solutions are buried in ritual or not easily accesible knowledge...sorry to ramble on...oh the answer to the question...

People are what they are where they are...and they are good or bad or nice looking or pain ugly...that said..no one is ugly...since beauty is in the eye of the beholder..you know..people say.."I don`t know what he/she sees in him/her"

Get to the point!....ok..it`s like this:

1.  Poeple attracted to different people does not mean love...it may be mere curiosity..hormonal stuff.

2.  People who have mutip[le cultures are well suited...if they have the resources to bring up the children well educated in all aspect of both cultures...and there is live all the way between the two.

3.  I think it cruel to convert people to relegion and culture...they will grow if they will grow as they will grow as they will learn...the person in conversion is not the one you liked!

4. Since their is only One God..he is the one and the same of..who ever you feel is right for you...but being this earth and animal model on earth we live in...exploitation and using people acroos culture is somethihng to gaurd agains..there the...

5. Values and behaviior of the intrested parites to consider...just as in a monoculture..there are goldiggers....you get my drift...

6.  Culture and values seperate people..so you might like someone..but note..the culture that allows serial realtionships all the way....and it`s the norm..this may happen in indian society..but it is not the norm....however..there are genuine beatiful people every where.

7.  Boiolgy inbuilt by the creator or evolution...ensures diversity.....!..that is a fact..

8. And finally parental concern is for your well being and stability in the long term..so their opinin is to be valued....it`s hard work trying to learn two laguages, ...cultures ok..be honest to each other..and the children have to be taught two languages...cultureof love of God..any relegion...and trust..should cross all barriers..

sorry ..no direct answers..it,s your life!  but coversions are cruel!
