Literates become illiterates if they fail
to match the world

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Those who fail to travel along with the current trend of world are considered illiterates, despite the fact that they have learnt a lot.

(Likewise...)

The relationships, which fail to debate only the current issues are concluded weaker, irrespective of the years of bonding they have.
