Scriptures can't be followed blindly

Scriptures are also written by some hominoid or a human similar to us only but during the times our race was still primal, most likely of lesser intellect as the wisdom and the intellect have been linearly progressing since life began on planet. The newer you are the wiser you become. The ones who lived centuries back can’t be always more rational thinkers. Not everything written by someone 1200 years back be guiding us today when we are morally more evolved. Most fundamental driving force of Human progress has been adoption of community living which enabled our species become what we are today. Community and family require us to accept differing opinions and move along together. That made civilisation grow. Those who don’t learn this are failing to partner humanity and its progress.

Calling someone who differs with one’s opinion a Cobra is stagnantly primitive and reprehensibly avoidable view. Both who opined this 1200 years back or the one who accepts this in 2024 would be grossly wrong.


(this is in response to someone quoting following in our WhatsApp group:
"To partner with someone who is not in agreement (not compatible) is like living with a snake". This is taken from ancient scripture Thirukural supposedly written by philosopher Valluvar of Tamil origin.
