Dondu: (Sipping a cup of coffee and getting philosophical) What is the meaning of life?
Pandu: (in half a second) What is the meaning of hammer?
Dondu: What?
Pandu: What is the meaning of hammer?
Dondu: I heard it the first time, I mean, what is the relationship between life and hammer?
Pandu: Full meaning hai boss... If you can explain to me the meaning of hammer, I promise I'll give you the meaning of life.
Dondu: (Ordering an expresso grande) Lets do this one... I've got all evening...
Pandu: Alright then... tell me the meaning of Hammer
Dondu: A hammer is a tool for making items of furniture.
Pandu: That's it?
Dondu: Yep
Pandu: Does the hammer do work by itself?
Dondu: No, someone has to use it.
Pandu: Can a 3 year old use the hammer to make furniture?
Dondu: No way... a 3 year old will probably drop it at the first opportunity and maybe end up with a broken foot. Someone grown up has to use the hammer
Pandu: Ok. 14 years is grown enough... Can a mischievous 14 year old use a hammer to make furniture?
Dondu: Obviously not, he'll probably use it to break things and do more bad than good.
Pandu: So?
Dondu: Alright, I get it... Only a person who knows how to use a hammer properly can use it to create something. Anyone else will only use it for destruction...
Pandu: This sounds better... So lets see if we can define a hammer in a better way?
A hammer can't do anything by itself. All of us get one hammer. What a hammer can do depends entirely on the person holding it. One person uses his hammer to create beauty, to create value, to create something that someone can have and use even after the person is gone. Another person could use it to destroy anothers' creation. How you use your hammer will define you and the way you use it could be an inspiration for another few people.
With the right knowledge, anybody can learn to use the hammer well. We can either learn to use the hammer ourselves... or find a teacher who could train us to use a hammer...
Either ways, our objective is to make the best use of the hammer we have... Are we constantly improving the way we use our hammer?
Still want to know the meaning of life?
