PS
In the 1960s as medical students in the Medical Faculty in Colombo, Ceylon it was drilled into us that an examination of a patient presenting with an abdominal lump was never complete till an examination of the external genitals was done. An undescended testis leading to an intra-abdominal malignancy and a tumour in either testis was thus never  missed at a clinical examination.

Comment by Bernie:-

Be very careful such claims via myths , cults , man created gods and sages, with miracles etc
Have fooled humans in the past. Depression cannot be cured by a cream all pied or any other older claims.
First eliminate placebo effect
Then false claims ,by any man created myths.
Spells portions chants south sayings , mantras? 
Japa, tho bil, offerings , cash for gods and spirits who can supposedly create anything but must have cash gold jewellery and food from humans ( even blood thirsty gods and devils
Need human cash collected for dysfunctional gods and hoarded by religious and cult promoters.
Some holy guys even say sex with then , invokes gods or heavens , to grant more blessings and many fall for this too,

But before applying a cream and pray for cure
Remember depression has no cure
It can and will recur
It kills
BPD poorly treated( like creams, other cult based tricks ) assures 15% death rate
And in a galaxy of billions of suns,
We have no identifiable hell or heaven or swarga or any such thing
Many hope we can be reborn , but evidence is inconclusive( except blind faith that blinds reason, logic and science)

Read on mythology of past 3000/4000 yrs 
It's replete with display of human stupidity
While we developed our intellect.
Human do a lot for themselves and others
But still pay till tax or poll tax to invisible , mythical  beings, that never manifested, unless one is inebriated or psychotic,
Though many claims are made, and believed with no basis.

But such is life
Even creams, fire, torture, human sacrifice, killings, mass murder, via wars
Is always justified by many, jihad is justified by many cults and faiths, and the list of contradictions, violations of human rights and denial of facts, creates a living for many, they communicate with mythical spirits demons gods devils Avathars spirits etc
Take money and pockets them in the name of gods and heavens.

The list of violations of human intellect by cults and via cult related creations 
Are many
Maybe one day humans will totally emancipate!

Couples shunning traditional wedding gifts in favour of cold hard CASH.


Financial contributions are considered useful because most brides and grooms don't need 'start up' presents. Many write poems in invitations asking for money.

PS
In the 1940/50s in the Northern Province of Sri Lanka, presenting gold coins 1/4 or 1/2 Sovereigns to newly married couples was standard practice. Giving cash in sealed envelopes with the name of the donor is standard practice in Sri Lanka nowadays.

Accomodating cultural differences.

:

"In a multicultural society such as Singapore, there are bound to be
differences of opinion"


"Accommodate differences of opinion in society, urges Dr Yaacob
Minister-In-Charge of Muslim Affairs Yaacob Ibrahim." File photo: MediaCorp

"Consultation and accommodation important in multicultural society" such as
Singapore, he says.


My tangential comment on unsolvable racial issues-countries in Asia. Susiri

History.

Well, in 1947 huge India split off Pakistan, with much blood shed,  yet
today having more Muslims within than in Pakistan. Subject to the same
problems.
Even Bangladesh split off 1972.

In 1965, far smaller Singapore with a predominant Chinese population split
off but continue to control the others.
While Malaysia the bigger chunk with its considerable Chinese population
(though contained now) yet hast its big racial problems that simmers. All
yet  subject to outside influence any day any year.

Breaking up into even smaller units as a country is self annihilation,
finally.
Subject by then two even control by even a few individuals from richer
countries(- George Soros was possibly one such man whose efforts near
destabilised Malaysia by suddenly withdrawing his invested billions.)

'Getting Smaller is beautiful' has its inevitable limitations.

Sri Lanka can consider itself  lucky with  clear tight boundary of sea right
round.
 This cultured ( now  2014) country is  peaceful  including the north,
northeast and the east.
 All provinces  are economically  dependent on the dominant  western
province which produces 50 %  of the GDP.

One has to only note the ongoing population mix demographic changes in the
last decades, including during war, of the western province which draws in
all races  for economic reasons, with high degree of rapport among them. 
Barring the  occasional, sporadic issues, perhaps less common than in most
other places.
