A Write-up from Honored Singaporean Writer " Derwent " |
Food for Thought |
Few people in Singapore are willing to pay money for the real genuine
amulets, unless exaggerated sales pitch are involved, or when buyers are shown newspaper
cutting in regard the efficacy of amulets. Collectors have their own small circles for
talk. My observation is that people here responded to sales talk more than genuine and
factual presentation of amulets, whilst many responded significantly to magazine cutting,
etc. Many, for some misguided reasons, expect immediate results after wearing the amulets. You are quite right to point out that few people really appreciate real goody amulets in Singapore. Another observation here is that many have paid unnecessary exorbitant price for common-place amulets Then there is also a handful of veterans who spent great old time in Thailand but only to find them avoiding the amulet mainstream gossips for the right reasons. Like anywhere else in this world, the amulet fraternity here has its fair share of amulet politicking. So my advice to our net readers is that we should get
ourselves involved in productive dialogue with the experts and avoid those amulet gossips;
it does not help us in our spiritual development and it is very unproductive. My old time
friend is one such example. He feels embarrassed and sadden when he joined people in the
dialogue in the past. It is unproductive insofar as our spiritual development is
concerned. Singapore is small such that it is not difficult to know who are good and
genuine collectors here. Very sadly, some genuine and well-meaning people paid unnecessary
high price for fake amulets, or amulets which price are artificially and unreasonably
inflated. |
