उत्तर
The author has tried to make a point that how people living by age-old impractical values weave their own fall and create unnecessary disturbance in society. One should evolve as time advances and society grows. Sticking to false pride is not what will bring prosperity to one. One must be cautious and keep a wide eye to see if one is taking advantage of their virtues.
