Rome Was Not Built in a Day Complete Topic

There were things in the world which take a considerably long time to mature. It is the nature of a task that determines the length of time it would take to be accomplished. Some people are in the habit of getting impatient, when a task takes a little too long to complete. They do not understand or rather conveniently forget the nature of the task and start losing heart. This idiom is used to tell the impatient people that great things are not done or accomplished overnight. Such things required long time, patience and continuous effort.

Rome is the name of city in Italy. At one time it was the capital of the Roman Empire. It was the citadel of the Roman Catholic Church. It was Roman Emperor Augustas who is considered to be the real builder of Rome. Rome consisted of only a few hamlets when Augustas came to the throne. It look about 40 years for him to transform the face of Rome into a metropolis, adorned with beautiful mansions, theaters, temples, public baths and many other public buildings. It took a long time for the city to develop into a grand city of the world. In the same way every important task takes some time to be completed. There are two aspects of the matter. First, all big or important things take time to be accomplished. Secondly, one should never grow impatient if some work takes a long time. What is required is perseverance and not haste.

Laugh and the world laughs with you: Weep and you Weep alone

This saying is based on the long and mature experience of the ways of the world. It points out to the social relationship in this materialistic world, where people conduct themselves in a manner that exposes their true nature. Human life is a mixture of success and failure, and happiness and sorrow, which we have to face. It is a stark reality of life. These ups and downs of life provide valuable opportunities to know what is what. In this axiom the word laugh refers to happiness and joy, while the word weep refers to sorrow and grief. Happiness and sorrow occur in everybody's life. Their impact on human beings is universal. Happiness manifests itself in laughing, singing and dancing etc. While grief makes one weep cry and moan.

In this era of internationalism people talk of high idealism. It is said that the poverty of one nation in the world is matter of great concern to all other nations. It is also sermonized that human grief in any part of the globe must be shared equally by the rest of the world. Such assertions have become fashionable slogans for great world leaders, politicians and thinkers. These appear to be only for the consumption of other, because they suffer from a basic contradiction as witnessed in human character all over the world.

This saying means that everybody shares you happiness, but nobody would share your grief. It is easy and rather pleasant to associate with and join those, who are laughing, eating and dancing. Happiness and laughter are usually associated with celebration of auspicious ceremonies and remarkable achievements. These celebrations mark a sort of collective social festivity, in which, if not all, most of your acquaintances participate with great enthusiasm. The guest participants are generally not required to spend anything for their rejoicing. If you have enough resources you can practically invite the whole world to laugh and make merry with you. Human nature is such that it is in constant search of occasions to amuse itself. It likes amusement. That is why it is said, 'laugh' the world laughs with you'. It means that you can find any number of people to give you company in your happiness and enjoyment.
