Vannakkam: I didn't really know where to post this, but since the Kural is on ethics, and that's dharma, here it is.
I'm not sure if it was Tiruvalluvar himself, or the translator embellishing, but I often find sweet touches if humour in a couplet.
Take this one for example from Chapter 82 on 'Harmful Friendship'
"Though unscrupulous men may seem to consume you in friendship, their companionship grows more delightful as it declines."
or this one on 'Ignorance' Chapter 85
"The suffering that ignorant men inflict upon themselves can hardly be contrived by their enemies."
I'll try to post more in the upcoming days.
Aum Namasivaya
