On HH the Dalai Lama

and~ the HH in "HH the Dalai Lama" stands for??
"His Holiness." so, HH the Dalai Lama is
His Holiness, the Dalai Lama

obviously it's not just korean churchgoers who use acronyms like JDSN, but i don't know why i find this so.. well. amusing, i guess. actually i find a lot of things amusing about human beings in general. like the gesture of clapping. i mean.. you hit parts of your body together when you approve of something or when you're happy? i remember having this kind of shift in thinking from reading Vonnegut.

i deeply respect the dalai lama.
i just think it's interesting that the "HH" is so important that it has to be there, but not so important that it doesn't have to be written out.

anyway.. so i guess, then, that i deeply respect HH the dalai lama.
