 is it necessary to comment at events, my previous comments holding good with slight revision to suit the news of history repeating.

i felt comments can be standardized to suit different themes of history—repeating with  change only in name, place, time, temperature, humidity, colour, quality, quantity, frequency, — a change —all like a huge tree sending out  the same leaf flower or fruit, seasonal.

the seed has not changed hence the same crop.

this leads to finalizing it in the form of a quote, an adage, a saying—this leading me to find that  the sayings endured times, and some became classic.—-mainly due to repetition of history, and people emoting correspondingly.—–this is at the level of history.

extending the logic to the level of legend, mythology, tradition, smrithies, puranas, —- we can find similarly how the ”reactions” have been standardised and getting used as they are –to emote in perfect fashion, without spending creative energies to write on trivialities of times and simply serving the contemporary purpose equally well.

the comment can be a huge book, an essay, an anecdote, a passage, a para, a sentence, and even a single word [brevity, the soul of wit], a sigh ,  a curse, a derision, a laugh , a smile or even a silence.

standard comments: sumathi says”kanakapu simhasanamuna shunakamu koorchunda betty…venukati guna mela maanu!” [a dog enthroned, cannot overcome its tendencies]

sankara says ”nahi nahi rakshathi ….” all the erudition cannot save you, fool, bhaja govindam, he only can if you care

that is how the wisdom is–sometimes elaborating into detailed upakhyanam, some other times, condensing itself in to pithy quotes–like a plant elaborating into all details of tree and the same condensing itself into a summary in the form of a seed.
