 108.2 Unscrupulousness

(108.2 கயமை)

Question:

                Is there anything in common between the unscrupulous people and the Gods?

Answer:

The unscrupulous people are like the Gods because

they can act as they please.                                                 (Couplet – 1073)

 

தேவர் அனையர் கயவர் அவருந்தாம்

மேவன செய்தொழுக லான்.                                      (குறள் – 1073)

 

Explanation:

                There is no code of conduct for the Gods. They decide what is right and wrong and act accordingly. Similarly, the unscrupulous act as they please, even if there are codes of conduct. The Gods do not have to answer to anyone. In the same manner, the unscrupulous do not answer to anyone. The independent nature of behavior is common between the unscrupulous and the Gods.
