My Thought for This Friday (12/16/2016) - Brevity

Brevity is Twitter's defining virtue.

By that definition, Thiruvalluvar, author of Thirukural, might be world's first tweeter (Twitterer) and each Kural, made of only 7 words, is likely the first tweet.

{ps. Thirukural is an ancient Tamil literature written by Thiruvalluvar (picture below) in the 3-1 BC. It consists of 1330 couplets on virtues and morals and is non-denominational. Each couplet has only 7 words. It is the most translated non-religious book in the world - in nearly 82 languages}.
