meaning of two Tamil words...'Kalvi'....'Kalavi'....

Dear all...there are two words in Tamil...1. 'Kalvi'...meaning 'Learning'...2. 'Kalavi'....means 'Sex'...it is just a 'dot' that makes these words different when we write the words in Tamil...so, a dot makes a world of difference in meaning!!

There are again two sets of words in Tamil...1. 'Vaazhum murai' (means 'the way we live'....2. 'Vaazhkkai neri' (means 'the way we are supposed to live')...

in fact both are supposed to be same...the vaazhkkai murai is supposed to be as per the vaazhkkai neri...i.e our way of living every day and every moment should be as per the way we are supposed to live...
vaazhkkai neri...i.e the way we are supposed to live is given in books...the books say let 'kalvi' be the basic of life and living...i.e 'Life is a process of Learning...i.e Life is a process of reading books, reading Nature (i.e sciences), reading people, their life experiences, our own experiences, learning lessons from them, also enjoying these processes with relationships and emotions, applying our sixth sense (thinking...cognition...) in all these processes...and evolving-growing-maturing-developing based on the results of all this learning!'....this is how the books define the Life as...Living as...!!!

whereas if we analyse our actual living...i.e our culture...i.e vaazhkkai murai...is based on 'Kalavi'...i.e get born-grow playing-attain age (i.e maturing physically)-get married-produce children-enjoy playing-become old-die'...here 'kalvi' i.e 'education' (note...not Learning!!) is for getting food, wealth, money required for enjoying the kalavi processes i listed above...

Which is required?...Kalvi?....or kalavi?....or both?...Which one should form the core of life and living?...which forms the necessary condition?...which forms the sufficient condition?...

A professor says 'the money i get from Kalvi (education!!) goes for Kalavi (sex)!'....a sex worker says 'the money i get from Kalavi (sex) goes for my Kalvi (education)!'....whose life is better?....

Are we on track?...Are we on the track of good health, happiness, peace, contentment and self-trancending?...Any changes required?...What are the changes?

Let us think.....probably it will help at least for grooming our children in the right direction, who will make and redefine the culture of future!!

peacefully yours...rams...health psychologist....
