ஆணுக்குத் தனியாக சில குணாதிசயங்கள் உள்ளன. பொறுப்புகளும் உள்ளன. அவன் ஒரு நல்ல ஆணாக இருக்க வேண்டும். ஆனால் பெண்களை மதிக்கிறேன் என்று பெண்ணாகிவிடக் கூடாது. அப்படி ஆகிறவனை பெண்களே மதிப்பதில்லை.
Dutch commander about Jaffna Tamils
16ஆம் நூற்றாண்டிலயே நாங்கள் ஒரு ஊழல் நிறைந்த சமூகமாக இருந்து இருக்கிறோம் போல் தெரிகிறது.
“…யாழ்பாணத்தார் தற்பெருமையும்,செருக்கும், சோம்பேறிதனமும், பிடிவாதமும், பிடித்தவர்கள் எனவும், பொய்சொல்லி ஏமாற்றும் தந்திரம் படைத்த இந்த இனத்துடன் மிகவும் முன்னெச்சரிக்கையாக நடந்து கொள்ள வேண்டும் எனவும் தமக்கு நன்மை கிடைக்குமென்றால் பொய்ச் சத்தியம் செய்யவும் பொய்ச்சாட்சியம் சொல்லவும் தயங்க மாட்டார்கள் எனவும்
ஒருவர் மீது ஒருவர் வன்மம் கொண்டு வல்லடி வழக்குத் தொடுத்து வெல்லும் வரை வழக்காடி மகிழ்வார்கள் அதற்காக போத்துக்கேயர் காலத்தில் தீர்க்கப்பட்ட வழக்குகளையே புதுப்பிப்பார்கள் எனவும் கூறியுள்ளார்
முன்னர் அஞ்ஞான மன்னர்களும் போத்துக்கேயர்களும் ஆண்ட காலத்தில் இவர்கள் சாதி சாதியாகப் பிரிந்து வாழ்ந்து பழகிய படியால்
சாதிப் பிரிவுகளில் நாம் (ஒல்லாந்தர்) தலையிடக் கூடாது என அறிவுரையும் கூறியுள்ளார்
40 சாதிப் பிரிவுகள் உள்ளதாக குறிப்பட்டுள்ளார்
எண்ணிக்கையில் அதிகமான வேளான் தொழிலில் ஈடுபட்ட வெள்ளாளரின் ஆதிக்கம் பற்றியும் எச்சரிக்கை பண்ணியுள்ளார்
வெள்ளாளரின் சாதித் திமிருக்கு இடம் கொடுத்தால் மாத்திரமே மற்ற எல்லா வேலைகளிலும் கூனிக் குறுகி கெஞ்சிக் கூத்தாடி வேலை செய்வார்கள் எனவும்
சிங்களவர்களை மக்கள் என்றும் அப்பாவிகள் என்றும் மலபார்களால் ஏமாற்றப்பட்டவர்கள் என்றும் இங்கே கூறியுள்ளார்…” 😢
This is very well explained why we as Thamilan continuously failed as a society
At least I witnessed this in my Jaffna life around 4-5 years between 1977-1982
I agree by this Dutch commander’s writing as he put forward many
Interesting facts as he is referring Yaalpaanies as Malabar
So he definitely find commonalities among பனங்கொட்டைகள் with மலையாளிகள்
As both are self centered people promote self interest rather bigger community’ well being which they belongs to
We still can wittiness these among Kerala and Eezham Tamils as both communities with high literacy rate
such analysis could have definitely influence the policy makers across the world in dealing with Thamils’ issue as they continue to promote Sinhalese interests to this day 😢
எமது தலையிலேயே மண்ணை அள்ளி வாரிப் போட்டு எமது சமூக அழிவிற்கே வித்திட்ட ஜாம்பவான்கள் நாம்
Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a Lutheran
pastor and theologian in Germany during World War II. He was hanged in a
concentration camp at Flossen burg because of his opposition to the Nazis and
for that part, he played in an assassination plot against Hitler.
In prison, he began to try to understand how good, intelligent,
and peaceful people could become supporters of such an evil regime. That led to
his theory that the greatest opponent to truth and reason was not evil, but
stupidity.
“If we want to know how to get the better
of stupidity, we must seek to understand its nature.” — Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“If we want to know how to get the better
of stupidity, we must seek to understand its nature,” wrote Bonhoeffer in his
treatise. And the nature of stupidity has its roots deep in the subconscious. The
fundamental mechanics of the human experience drives it. As ancient
philosophers noted, humans are social animals. It is this very sociability that
is at the base of stupidity.
“We note further that people who have isolated
themselves from others or live in solitude manifest this defect less frequently
than individuals or groups inclined or condemned to sociability. And so it
would seem that stupidity is perhaps less psychological than a sociological problem.”
— Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Stupidity is a group phenomenon. An
individual can act stupidly, but that does not affect the whole. However, when
a group works stupidly, that dramatically impacts the individual, compounding
the entire effect. In many ways, something with initially positive
ramifications stabbed humanity in the back.
Human nature doesn’t change as the years
pass by. The inner workings of individual people are the same as those of their
remote ancestors living on the savannas of Africa 50 thousand years ago. Some
of these internal processes stretch even further back, millions of years into
the past, when primitive brains started to develop.
When you speak with a stupid person, it does not seem like that
person is speaking from their own heart or mind but in catchphrases and slogans
adopted from others. Stupidity, to Bonhoeffer, originates when people give up
their independent thinking and parrot the words and phrases of the rising power
movement. They “jumped on the bandwagon” and ceased thinking independently. He
observed that stupidity was found less among isolated people and more in social
groups. As you reflect on the evening news and its daily presentation of people
doing crazy things to others, consider that they may not be evil or malicious,
but rather, stupid.
Italian economic historian Carlo M. Cipolla believes so. In his book 'The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity', Cipolla identifies four different kinds of people – stupid people, helpless people, intelligent people, and bandits.
As a group, stupid people are far more powerful than the Mafia and the Military-Industrial Complex because they actually drive and influence social outcomes.
Cipolla found that the same proportion of people in any group tended to be stupid, even within the group of Nobel laureates or professors, or even blue-collar workers. The reality is that we have to face the same proportion of stupid people, no matter where we go or travel.
Everyone underestimates the effects of stupid people in action because it is not apparent. As a result, non-stupid people underestimate the damaging power of stupid people.
Intelligent people benefit themselves and society; bandits steal from others to benefit themselves; helpless people are exploited for their naivety despite contributing positively to society. However, stupid people are counterproductive to both their own individual and society's overall interests.
Cipolla says that a stupid person is far more dangerous, especially if the individual was born into the elite class. Their total damage capacity is infinite within their potential position as bureaucrats, generals, and even politicians.
As stated by Yuval Harari, history teaches us that people must never underestimate the role of stupidity in human history. It is one of the most powerful forces around the world.
We cannot trust human decency and supposedly good human leadership to do what is best for humanity. We can only hope that is the case, but stupid humans could win at the end of the day.
பண்டைய சீனர்கள் பாதுகாப்புடன் வாழ்வதற்காக சீனப் பெருஞ்சுவரை நிர்மாணித்தனர். அதன் அதிகபட்ச உயரத்தின் காரணத்தினால் யாருமே அதன் மீது தாவி, ஏறி உள்நுழைய முடியாது என அவர்கள் உறுதியாக நம்பினர்.
Ageing is inevitable, but that does not mean you can’t slow down the process. Premature ageing can be effectively controlled with a proper diet. Dull and lifeless looking skin can be rejuvenated by consuming the correct supplements and following a healthy, nutritious diet. A good diet will boost cell growth and give you glowing skin. While it is essential to turn back the clock once the damage has been done, nonetheless, it is crucial to follow good eating habits from a young age. No matter what drinking ample water throughout the day can help you attain flawless skin!
Similarly, a good sleep cycle plays a crucial role in skin-related issues and maintaining a healthy weight. You don’t have to search far and wide to incorporate anti-ageing foods in your meal; they are present in your kitchen! Make sure to get eight hours of undisturbed sleep every single night.
We've all grown up listening to the following phrases almost every day of our lives - “age is just a number”, “age doesn't determine your capabilities”, etc. While it is true that age is limited to being just a number, age does not conceal its arrival when it dawns upon someone. It is easily visible unless the person might have resorted to alternatives such as plastic surgery to conceal signs of ageing of skin and hair. Growing old is often accompanied by wrinkles, dry skin, blemishes or darkened skin. However, these issues are not restricted to old age; younger people are also susceptible to these problems if a proper lifestyle is not followed and the body is subjected to harsh chemical products. While ageing may be inevitable, one can definitely slow down the process, especially with premature ageing. Dull and lifeless looking skin can be rejuvenated by feeding your body with correct supplements and following a healthy, nutritious diet which can boost cell growth and provide you glowing skin. While it may be difficult to turn back the clock once the damage has been done, it becomes crucial to inculcate good eating habits from a young age. Drinking efficiently large quantities of water has the potential to help you attain flawless skin, which remains a dream for most of us. Consciously making an effort to drink water irrespective of thirst is deemed to have a positive influence on the skin.
