QUESTIONABLE VALUE
Today morning I saw this phrase written by a questionable
identity seeker. Some years back, there used to be a comedy of errors; name
of the person will be KANNAYIRAM, but he might have a squinted eye or even
may be blind; Swarna Latha might be so fat and black even. So, on so forth
name does not identify the character of any person but the acts of one,
whose fairness, heroes should appreciate and not by the villains.
Everywhere, today, around the world, a name had created so much of impact
and worship, with millions following him whose Chaithra had created so many
followers; but because someone has such a name, it does not mean, he is
being creative at all. He might also be an Aviveki, who may not know how to
differentiate the chaff from the rice. And well frogs are always small in
numbers. And there are so many wells; but beyond them, vast tanks to seas
are there. Ignorance is not a crime; but one who knows not, that he knows
not, but presumes, he knows a lot. So as to judge values, is below par, so
shun him. When the poet Kamban was insulted by the King Kulothunga Chozhan,
he rendered a verse: MANNAVANUM NEEYO, VALANADUM UNADHO; UNAI ARINDA
TAMIZHAI ODHINAEN? Hence one who had made any questions so far, and one who
summarily qualify the act of Dharma, Droupathi and Duchadhanan, in terms of
low and high, is absolutely an Aviveki, wearing the mask of bias with zero
value of a knowhow; hence may not be taken seriously[RK1] <#_msocom_1> .
The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.
Albert Einstein once famously said, "The true sign of intelligence is not
knowledge but imagination." This quote highlights the value of creativity
and original thinking over rote memorization and accumulation of facts.
(Whereas facts accumulated appeared to be a non- questionable and the
opposite as questionable, it shows the level of brain to think.) *While
knowledge is certainly crucial in many aspects of life*, it is ultimately
imagination that pushes boundaries, fuels innovation, and opens up new
realms of understanding. Imagination allows us to connect dots in new ways,
see possibilities beyond the obvious, and envision a future that has yet to
be realized. It is the driving force behind scientific discoveries,
artistic creations, and technological advancements that shape our world. In
the context of education, this quote challenges traditional notions of
intelligence that often prioritize memorization and regurgitation of
information. Instead, it encourages students to think critically,
problem-solve creatively, and dream big. Imagination is what sets apart
great thinkers and visionaries from those who simply follow the status quo.
{There is a saying,” whether an ass can smell the camphor smell?”} It is
through imagination that we can ask questions that have never been asked
before, explore solutions that have never been considered, and inspire
change that has never been imagined. {Where the ignorant evaluates,
remaining in a small coterie, rendering the words questionable value, it
does reveal, what kind of coterie is that?) However, delving deeper into
this quote leads us to an unexpected philosophical concept - the
relationship between knowledge and imagination. While they may seem like
opposing forces, the truth is that they are intricately connected and
complementary. Knowledge provides us with a foundation to build upon, a
springboard for our imaginations to leap from. Without knowledge, our
imagination may lack direction or substance; without imagination, our
knowledge may remain stagnant and unapplied. {And where one lacks both, he
tenders to pass blind folded observations only, self-proclaiming as
“fairness} It is the interplay between the two that truly propels us
forward in our quest for understanding and discovery. In essence,
intelligence is not a fixed entity but a dynamic interplay between
knowledge and imagination. It is the ability to synthesize information,
think critically, and dream boldly. By cultivating both our knowledge base
and our imaginative capacities, we can unlock the full potential of our
intelligence and make a meaningful impact on the world around us. So let us
embrace the power of imagination, nurture our creativity, and dare to dream
beyond what we know to be possible. In doing so, we honour not only the
wisdom of Albert Einstein's words but also the limitless potential of the
human mind. (Thus, the negatives are does not fall under the human value at
all) K Rajaram IRS 6724
