OF RIGIDITY AND FLEXIBILITY
DIBAKAR PAL
Abstract
Flexible character may be rigid but rigid character may not be flexible. If under any circumstances the rigid man be flexible, he
regains his previous status whenever situation favours. But if a flexible man becomes rigid then he is found to be more than a
rigid character. Thus all flexible is rigid but all rigid is not flexible. The merit of a flexible mind lies in the fact that it can easily
be molded and simultaneously the demerit of a flexible mind is that it can easily be molded. They are just like liquid that takes
the shape of the container. As such it has no locus-standee at all due to its glorious uncertainty. These type of characters are
called floating voter. Only a shrewd politician reads their pulse and wins vote. Rigidity stands for tradition and flexibility
breaks tradition and welcomes modernism. As such goodness of both invites greatness.
