I am afraid perhaps the worm is witless not by choice but by its very creation. It does not know any better. Its ignorance stems from its sense of purpose which is to be a worm. <br />Similarly a vast majority have no clue of their purpose or rather the lack of it and hence choose to be worms tunnelling through others fruits of labor spreading their prejudices,ignorance and hatred on the way only to emerge dazed lost and clueless on the other end.<br />John locke who is considered father of european enlightenment defined two characteristics of enlightenment : One is human reason and rationality and the other is search for practical useful knowledge to control nature. <br />Our worms may perhaps be able to overcome and even outgrow this habit to get easily offended as self appointed vanguards of tradition only if they are in quest of practical knowledge in defiance of tradition and prejudice. It is happening and its important to wait and watch the outcome of every such incident to see if it was the worm or the wizard who walked away with the cake. In this case I think it was the wizard as I heard PK did 601 crore worth of business world wide.Suresh Radhakrishnanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02680798244373272341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5471037824071153336.post-18650209016822845812015-01-13T21:52:53.516-08:002015-01-13T21:52:53.516-08:00I so agree with you on this, the day every person ...I so agree with you on this, the day every person understand these simple yet important things our country will turn from developing to developed.Deepshikhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04684044576210604994noreply@blogger.com
