Sat Nam,
You did not come across as flippant to me.
I think that you have an understanding of life that others may not have,
thus to them may come across as smarmy or self satisfied.
I too believe as you do. Maybe their view is skewed?
One of the beautiful things about life is that we each have different ways
and beliefs. This is our gift that may be shared, and if others want to
learn about us, then even the better.
Best,
Karamleen Kaur
