    As said by Alfred Korzybski, time-binding is the most prevalent ability, which is by and large clubbed the spiritual or mental ability of man as it makes erstwhile accomplishments subsist in the present and present enterprises in futurity. It is an ability that facilitates; it is an ability that brings about; it is an ability that can decipher the past and forecast the future; it is a historian as well as a prophet; it is an ability that loads abstract time, the vehicle of events, with an ever-accumulating obligation of double-dome accomplishments, of spiritual bushel predestined for the refinement of thought, manners, or taste of all future generations. But unfortunately, some people infelicitously employ this ability and because of that, they and the people around them face many disastrous causes as a consequence. Dharmaraja Yudhisthira is a failed time-binder, and a wrong evaluator as well. Even after getting horribly humiliated by the Kauravas, Yudhisthira accepts the second proposal sent by Duryodhana and Shakuni. Pitamah Bhishma warned Yudhisthira not to fall into their trap, but Yudhisthira, being a follower of Dharma and a King, accepts their second proposal and plays the dice game. He even evaluates Duryodhana wrongly while accepting the proposal. He accepts the punishment as it was declared without any objections. At that time, if he had allowed Pitamah Bhishma and other elders to have a talk over the given punishment, the consequences could have been in their part. But the latter never happened and it resulted into The Grand War of Kurukshetra.
