With reference to the poem, ‘The Cold Within', highlight some of the evils that dishonour the human race.
Answers
Answer:
ths poem Cold Within focuses on sins such as ill-will, jealousy, hatred, animosity, and lack of warmth and compassion in human relations. This lack exists at all levels: personal, family, social, etc. Most of the problems in the world exist because of this lack of warmth. In place of the warmth there is the cold of hatred, animosity, suspicion, and ill-will in every human's heart.
This world would have been a real paradise if this ill-will were not there. All the wars, holocausts, ethnic-cleansings, terrorist attacks, etc. were the outcome of this ill-will only. Ill-will is much more deadly than the deadliest nukes; for nukes are also the product of ill-will.
In the poem, The Cold Within, the poet has beautiful portrayed this ill-will in men trapped in bitter cold. None of them offered their wooden log to keep the fire burning because they harbored il-will against one another. This led to the death of all.
So, we see how dangerous and insidious ill-will is mankind.
