Oh Language ANOTHER FACET-5
Hopefully, our viewers sustain the enthusiasm to spend time
over the ‘Quotes’ that have been presented through blog posting on Sundays.
Without being too inquisitive or ‘take for granted’ attitude this column is
presented and at least a handful seems to evince interest. That is the scale of
participation.
As has the trend been, there is a progressive decline in the
number of respondents as also, the insight there in. Most of the respondents respect the formality of ‘responding’. I thank those who respond despite their other
priorities.
Nothing profits more than self-esteem, grounded
on what is just and right.
It is a quote from ‘Paradise lost’. The suggestion is to
understand the value of morality as a foundation for observing ‘just and fair’

Fame is the last infirmity of the human mind.
Though said in a few words, the statement is rather
powerful. The quote tells that humans
have a deep-liking for ‘praise’ / accolade. This is a weakness of the mind Even,
persons –intelligent, virtuous and
disciplined have this infirmity of mind

cease to be a virtue. In other words, the virtuous would never give in to
temptations. Any wavering on this is not virtuous.
This quote suggests that no faith or ideology or doctrine is
undeniably absolute ; So, it cannot justify harming or killing ‘others’.
Time is the subtle thief of youth
The quote reads simple
and plain. It means, time slowly but clearly robs our youth. It suggests that
well before one manages to achieve one’s aim, stages of youth are gone. [Time
moves faster than, what it appears to be].
