Alexander pope wrote a long poem which he c onlyed Dunciad. He had no patience with the half(prenominal) well-read and the ill-learned. He branded them all dunces and poe gustationrs and made them the theme of his Dunciad. Like Iliad, it was non an epic but a chaff wherein he verbalise A undersized learning is a dangerous social function Drink deep or taste non the Pierian Spring. The problem with such people, said pontiff, was not that they did not dwell a great deal but that they thought they knew everything. Therefore he advised them to master their subjects thoroughly or abjure them once for all.To think that nonpargonil sees everything is same(p) living in a fools paradise. It is a blowing thought as far as it goes, if champion washbasin stop with it. But curiously full one thought allows to an another(prenominal) and that sets things moving. blessedness leads to arrogance and that opens the Pandoras Box. Arrogance knows no fear, no second thoughts. Discrimin ation vanishes and with a jerky sense of confidence the arrogant get out venture to do anything. Surely, fools tread where angels fear. We know man falls by felicitate and therefore the moment he becomes swell compass pointed, his fall begins.But he volition not fall alone. He result apparent motion a disaster and many an desolate man will go refine with him. Like a drowning man he drags with him anyone he can lay custody upon. When you think that you are Mr. Know all, you will probably begin to act like a No all. Many an candid man will believe what you say. If they merely wonder like the rustics who stared at the hamlet pedagogue and wondered how a small head could carry so much, no evil is done. But if they also believe what you say, they are at once on the misuse side of the fence.Some of the religious fanatics are blameful of such a sin. They do not know what actually a pietism is for. They cannot realize that it is for mans good to bring treasure in moment s of sorrow and distress, to guide him in times of illusion and indecision and to lead him out from darkness and ignorance. They harangue closely the superiority of their god, decry the people of other faiths call them infidels and declare holy wars in the name of God and religion. The ignorant crowd who believe them take to arms and fell the throats of innocent people. eligion which is expected to bring comfort and sunshine in the lives of people will spread distress and darkness. bulk who cannot actualize that the essence of religion is understanding, tolerance, compassion and assistance will think that they are pundits and prophets. Pope rightly advises such false prophets to intoxication deep or else taste not the Pierian Spring. People who believe in racial superiority are no better. They talk of amobarbital sodium blood, azure eyes, blonde hair and middling come up and look down upon others.They in addition suffer from the limitations of little knowledge. They do no t realize that we all belong to one race the race of man, whether the colour of the skin is white or yellow, brown or black and that these variations are the ways of temper to add beauty and variety to its creation. both artist knows that he needs to falsify his colours, combine and recombine them, to produce the necessitate effect and make his creations look more(prenominal) and more beautiful. But these half learned people who do not know this much, practice racial discrimination and crack disaster.
