Katha 03 – Man, pen and his sayings - B

One man had something to tell. He remembered it by hard. But only he remembered it. The ‘something he wanted to tell’ died with him.

So another man taught ‘the something he wanted to tell’ to his son. After his death his son remembered. And he taught it to his son so he also remembered. But by that time it was outdated.

Still he taught it to his son. … And it continued for generations. And it continued to be more and more outdated.

After all, everything that everyone wants to tell is not “Vedas” or “Bhagwat-Geeta”.

And in the process, many generations forgot to tell something that they wanted to tell. Or didn’t they want to tell? Or had they nothing to tell?

What’s the use of telling something that evaporates, looses meaning, becomes outdated, becomes incomprehensible and nobody wants to hear?
