On bigger questions of life, Valluvar says; “I am sorry, I don’t know. This needs to be investigated"

Looking around we see in the case of persons of ordinary talent being catapulted to power and wealth, flourishing in terms of riches and recognition with all their scant or little intelligence and capabilities and rolling in luxuries and enjoying all kinds of the best of everything, we are sometimes bemused and blindfolded. It appears that they walk off with life’s prizes seemingly without putting any extra or extraordinary effort.

With all shallowness and crookedness in hearts they are being showerd with favors and fortunes breaking through roof. Is it pure luck? Or sheer manipulative politics? How is that those who are good and reasonably honest and show lot of commitment in their work, suffer silently and meet all kinds of adversities in life?.

Thiruvalluvar, the author of famous Thirukural is asked about this anomaly in life. “I am sorry, I don’t know. This has to be researched; I think this needs to be investigated thoroughly.” he says .
