Traditional idioms link up without discontinuity to the present. Trad-
ition stands as a milieu of knowledge and a system of communication.
This explains for its efficiency to transform the present.
Last but not least, a critical inflection gives bite to traditional idioms
that certainly lamented about ill-treatment and harassment, but lacked
punch to fight back and clearly claim another justice. The present em-
powers the past idioms. Critical awareness instils a new breath into
them. They enjoy a new span of life. The past mirrors the present, the
present makes the mirror forcefully implode.
