Answers
Answer:
The Cold Within’ conveys a useful message. It points out that we must have tolerance and love for one another. We should be kind and generous towards our fellow human beings.
‘The Cold Within’ gives us a useful message through a little story. Six human beings found themselves trapped together in extreme cold. Their fire – their only hope of survival in the cold – was fast dying. Each one of them held a stick of wood. If any one of them gave up his or her stick to feed the dying fire, all of them had the chance to survive. But sadly, none of them was ready to oblige for one reason or the other. It was not the cold without but cold within which was sure to perish them.
This ‘cold within’ refers to lack of feelings for others — cruelty, indifference, hatred, so on and so forth. Like a good parable, the poem coveys the idea that we must tolerate, if not love, one another. We should be kind and generous towards our fellow human beings. We should not allow religion, colour or any other prejudice to become mean, selfish and even self-destructive.
