Strange indeed is the complete physical
resemblance of the unscrupulous to the human species. It is the best example of mimesis we
know of.
Oppaari, mimesis is close external
resemblance of one animal species to another though of an entirely different nature
amounting almost to mockery.
Blessed indeed are the unscrupulous, for
they do not suffer from the anxieties and troubles of those who have scruples.
The unscrupulous resemble the gods, for,
like gods, they do what they please and are bound by no restraints of conduct.
These three couple's illustrate
Tiru-Valluvar's irony.
Fear of punishment is the only code for
unscrupulous men. They observe restraints only under the pressure of fear. Sometimes a
little good may be got out of them by operating on their greed.
