Why “Two” Is A Beautiful Word?

I cannot think of anything that does not “take two” to complete as a whole. It takes two sexes to generate reproduction, it takes two to tango, it takes two hands to clap and I can continue with the “it takes two” to no end.

Beauty and adversity walk side by side, a king needs his jester, a damsel in distress waits for her knight in shinning armour, and politically, the ruling party has to face its opposition. These phrases do not have to mention the “two” yet they encompass the numerical reality.

Two is a beautiful number even in the anatomy (how you are going to perceive it to be, is entirely your prerogative) like the eyes for example.

To correlate this topic, I would rather touch a little on the coming by-election in Hulu Selangor. We will be seeing two giants at each other throat and if any spoil spot (Independent candidate) comes along, which is a crowd, it will be wiped out with the deposit vanishing in the air.

It will be interesting to see how one washes the other dirty linens in the “ceramahs” while the other half of the two is trying to clean up the dirty linens with detergent of politics in order to stay viable.

What a mess it will be when two “ceramahs” are held at the same vicinity by two taunting parties. So, you and I (again two) will be having a tough time lending them our two ears to listen at two different directions!

We go and return from the “ceramahs” (again two physical actions) listen and get angry (two emotional exertions) discuss with friends and argue (two verbal efforts) and all ends in anxiety that can sum up in two words – Barisan Nasional or Parkatan Rakyat to win in the by-election!

Watch this humorous video clip about the “two things” we do and I am sure you will agree with me that “two” is really a beautiful word!
