If fighting is the only way of life... I think we do not think beyond a certain realm (society) in life. Fighting in business. etc... we defined these in terms of the society!
My point is: 'Money is man-made. Society is man-made.' so, do not fall for anything that is man-made. Because, man made things have always been rooted in exploiting others.
is business success the only thing in the world? what about honesty? etc. ================================ what do I want to say?
Fighting may give temporary solution... Temporary == 50 years or 100 years. But the real solution lies in LOVE. Loving and caring and being affectionate.
Why the Mother loves her son? why not the parents fight with their children?
we apply "some other logic" there. why not extend that 'different logic' to all other things?
if not, whatever we call "Development" is NOT development.
in the past, we killed with bows and arrows. now, with nukes. Whites fight with Blacks and we term it as apartheid. why? we could allow that 'fight' go on forever and 'let the fittest survive.'
we could allow casteism to decide everything and we can wipe out masses of people -- by following the "Societal nature..." That is what Hitler did. Genocide was/is there in Sudan. and we exploit many in our day to day life.
In Iraq. people are killed based on their ethnicity. Do we accept all this based on what we see? 'Fighting is human nature. a brutal law everyone should follow.'
Why not we accept it? what is the need for peace-keeping forces?
why do we do it?
=========================
all scientists wanted to find the nuclear bomb. later, after finding what they wanted -- they all talked against it. you find modern ways to fight. and then hate that you found something like that.
Definitely Ponniyinselvan does not have a plot of killings and cheatings, nor is it a raw-thriller. And your statement that PS showcases human situation in itself is general, after all what can be a novel sans showcasing human situation?
I guess you are 22, right? ;-)
Of course Tamils and human beings do have love in general, I am sure you will get to know it as the days/years pass. For example, you worry about fellow human beings, you care about others...you feel for others? Dont you think this means you love others?
Same way, everyone is like you. All of us love others, all of us think twice before decision that would affect others.
