Philosophy of Renovation


            Renovation is building the Building. What do I mean? In simple words, renovation is modifying a monument or building that already exists. If what already exists is destroyed, and something new is built, it becomes a construction and not renovation. For example, a building is built in 19th century and had become old.A floor with stones needs to be changed to floor with tiles. So, the new tiles are placed on the floor. It is at the same time new and at the same time old in as much the old stones were removed and new tiles were placed.
            In the same way, human being from time to time needs renovation of the self. The renovation of the self is a call to build the new self on the old self. In other words, it is being modern at the same time being faithful to tradition. The renovation also calls for destroying what distances the self from being human and put on the self that makes self a Human Being.
