Today · Thirukkural · verse 327 · Mindset

தன்னுயிர் நீப்பினும் செய்யற்க தான்பிறிது இன்னுயிர் நீக்கும் வினை.

Tannuyir nīppinun seyyarkal tānpirittu / Innuyir nīkkum vinai.

Even if your own life be forfeit, do not commit an act that harms another's life.

The preservation of another's wellbeing stands above your own survival; this is not sacrifice but the recognition that virtue cannot be ransomed by existence itself. When you abandon this principle to save your skin, you have already forfeited what makes life worth living.
