Learn Humanities Too Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Humanities tell you the why of life.
Technologies tell you the how of life.
Humanities provide the meaning of life.
Technologies lend the means of life.

Learning science and technology grows up
And learning arts and literature is dropped.
The students are produced as race horses.
They lack consideration and compassion.

Study the Shakespeare or the Tagore;
Understand the emotion and commotion.
Expatiate on the reign of Buddha.
Understand the pathos and tolerance.

You must not transform yourself to a robot.
Then you will function in isolation.
Insecure feelings will engulf your life.
Learn humanities to be a human.
