{Division: 2 - Wealth; Section: 05 - Politics; Chapter: 053 - Impact of Relationship; Kural Number: 0521}

பற்றற்ற கண்ணும் பழைமைபா ராட்டுதல்
சுற்றத்தார் கண்ணே உள

Neighbors have the habit of appreciating the past,
even with someone who has nothing

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: The neighbors have the speciality of appreciating the past life of someone and strengthen them, even when they have lost everything.

(Likewise…)

The people have the nature of recalling the great regime of a leader and wonder it, even when the leader is not alive.
