And valid too.<br />However I'd still like to think that since the roof is more about comfort and the foundation stone is about solidity or roots, it is about not pulling out the roots to decorate your house or indulge in passing comforts at the risk of bringing it all down.Harimohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17080410333580185917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700197548299305500.post-85808225447622127022014-03-13T01:03:26.193+05:302014-03-13T01:03:26.193+05:30Hari/Suresh

The reasoning being foundation stones can never repair roof. <br /><br />Foundation stones could be a metaphor for having best solution for solidity (while we know it is only at the structure stage). We may start to believe that it is a cure-all for all solidity related problems. I feel, the statement is less to do with what happens when the foundation stones are removed as opposed to roof not getting repaired using foundation stones.<br /><br />In essence, we try to solve new problems with old techniques. Foundation stones worked well during structure preparation. But at the roof level, it is a new problem. We cannot use old solutions. <br /><br />Am open to understand whether my interpretation makes sense.<br /><br />AP SrinivasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700197548299305500.post-83622204066468670032014-03-10T15:26:03.971+05:302014-03-10T15:26:03.971+05:30very interesting view; My take was similar in that...very interesting view; My take was similar in that, do not shake up the foundations (values) for any urgent need or emergency that comes along.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700197548299305500.post-28594430160244906322014-03-06T19:15:57.612+05:302014-03-06T19:15:57.612+05:30Oh yes, Suresh, this is another of my favorites. I...Oh yes, Suresh, this is another of my favorites. I'd interpret it as not taking foolish shortcuts to achieve temporary reprieve/comfort and disturb solid foundations. It's probably akin to using long term funds to finance working capital needs in banking parlance. It is better to take the long term route of searching for the ideal roofing material (though it may be uncomfortable for a short while) and then building your roof than to sacrifice your safety by pulling out the foundations for short term comfort. And short term it will be! I was thinking of putting in my interpretations for all those lines just today. Will do it over the weekend and we can discuss again.Harimohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17080410333580185917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700197548299305500.post-15877966673910994072014-03-06T12:23:45.118+05:302014-03-06T12:23:45.118+05:30Hari,
