I was listening to a radio program in the evening where the DJ asked this question and asked the listeners to respond with their answer in one sentence.
The responses were varied. Some that caught my attention:
- Someone said "பொறுமை"
- Another called said சகிப்புதன்மை - the RJ said the words were kinda alike but not exactly the same. True, the first means patience while the 2nd word means tolerance.
- A third person called and said "எதையும் தாங்கும் இதயம் இருந்தால் இறுதி வரை அமைதி இருக்கும்" meaning if one has the ability to accept anything, one has peace always.
- Yet another caller said "to be a good person / good citizen.
I looked at (heard!) all these responses and wondered.. Can we say anything about the nature of the persons who gave these responses? Do these responses typically identify a person's nature - assuming each caller was truthful? Meaning the people who list as the most important things: patience / tolerance / acceptance etc would be a different set compared to the people who list: hard work / integrity etc.
Is this a right hypothesis?
