#Thirukkural is a combined word formed by joining the two words Thiru (meaning revered) and Kural (is a form of poem writing style, like Ballad English Poems).
#Thirukkural is divided into three sections: section one deals with Aram, good ethical behavior with conscience and honor (right conduct) section two discusses Porul, the right manner of conducting worldly affairs; and section three dwells on Kaamam, love between men and women.
The first section has 38 chapters, the second 70 chapters and the third 25 chapters. Each chapter consists of 10 couplets or kurals, for a total of 1330 couplets.
Although two sections, Aram and Inbam, are devoted to the private life of an individual more than half the couplets in Thirukural are grouped under Porul which discusses ethics in public life. Thus Thiruvalluvar gives more importance to righteous living in public life.
If one wishes to follow a sensible, ethical right life in public and private, this can be a one to one guide. Just need to follow them.
