The most complex script is Japanese. It consists of a long series of tricky picture characters, ideograms, which symbolize ideas and objects derived from Japanese life and culture. In ancient times the writing was practised as an skill from, studied and guarded by selected scholars. It is beautiful, hard to learn, and represents the discipline of scholarship and the delightful dedication of Japanese writers to this day. Japanese children learn to write their languages all the time they are in school, but very few of them are able to complete the task before they leave. Yet some literacy scholars are persuaded that no one system is more difficult to learn to read and write than any other. Whether or not this is the case, to learn to write always involves practice with a tool which has to be brought under control so that the writer can concentrate on putting together the message rather than on the creation of the sign.

I do not appreciate of forbiddance by law. According to me, it is a worthless attempt at a self-arrogated virtue. Wine is as old as gods and it has come down to us through ages and scriptures as the supreme soothe for the human agony. It is our legacy of an age when gods were mortal and men were divine, and though wine has been accursed as an hateful evil since its first sip by man, he has not stopped drinking at its bubbling fountain of vice and forgetfulness. A nation that needs legislation to maintain the virtue of its people is really unfortunate. Saints have preached great sermons on the immoral of drinking but this Christian scriptures of the saints has always remained a bad sermon in the world of sinners. It is good for the saints to preach but stupid for the state to enforce that preaching, for what is enforced by law ceases to be moral. A virtue is a virtue only when it is acquired through self-realisation, not when is is pushed on the lives of the people. Every new law creates a new group of law-breakers and one more sin is added to the sum-total of human crimes. As Goldsmith says that virtue which requires, to be ever guarded is scarcely worth, the sentinel.
