I am staring at a blank page. To write, or not to!
Let it be the serene smell of a new book, or old one, it has
always fascinated me. How many of us write a journal on a daily basis? Many,
not many or most of us? Writing is a vent. It releases those blocked emotions
deep inside one’s mind. I had written a phase of my life in a dairy. The ups
and downs, the one’s whom I liked or disliked, the secret desire, wishes, ugly
truth. I had enclosed all my bitter-sweet memories. To tear it one day! Yes! I
did tear each and every page of that journal. Why? I had no answer to the
questions it might have raised. (In case if you read it) I am not answerable to
anyone for my emotions or reactions.
Can one really become like a protagonist portrayed in a
fiction? Can someone be an Ann Veronica? Can someone be a Dominique from The
Fountainhead? Beautiful, Charming and most of all Bold/Courageous! Surely there
are real life heroes around us. We just haven’t met them.
You cannot judge someone the way they look or by the life
they live. You don’t have the right to! Who knows the beautiful kohl eyes must
have cried their heart out!
I complain about my life most of the time. Does anyone here
do the same? Life’s beauty lies in imperfection. What is the point of living if
we have attained perfection? Each day we live, we work; we earn to have a
better tomorrow.
Every time I feel distressed, I make myself remind the
sayings of Einstein, Shakespeare, Buddha, Sheldon and Dr.Brennan (yes, they are
the most rational characters).
Life is not easy, because it was never meant to be easy! But
Life can be beautiful. How? I am sure you can answer it.
The underlying message comes out very clearly. And the most beautiful part, I feel,is "Life’s beauty lies in imperfection. What is the point of living if we have attained perfection?"

its not just about to write or not to write. You know, at times its also about TO BE OR NOT TO BE. don't you...:)
ReplyDeleteHey, Hi
ReplyDeleteBlank pages. Life. How are the 2 different from each other? Each is shaped by our thoughts and decision. Its our choice to fill them, to paint them.
A good life and a bad life. Really, it just life. As it is said that someone's angel will be another man's demon. Perspective.
And yes, life is beautiful. Always.
Good to read you after a long time.
Regards,
Dumbhead...

Good to read your post after many days, life is what you make of it. how you take it. The Secret book/movie emphasizes to take life positively. Deep down, its just comes to thought that how you make the most of it. Of course it can be beautiful, in many different ways to different people. Well, things would be simple if life was a bit easy !!

ReplyDeletea very pertinent question, can you embody the fiction in reality? Tearing old memories is heart-wrenching. I hope this time is gone
ReplyDeleteEvery time I read Ayn Rand I feel it is possible to have the satisfaction of having lived life on your own terms. At the same time I feel a pang, a longing for the kind of people she had around. Equally strong in their convictions, a match for her mind, reciprocating her wavelength. My heart grows sad.
ReplyDeleteLife is not meant to be easy, but this feeling of being surrounded by people who are deaf to your kind of words, insensitive to your kind of feeling and blind to your kind of vision, this is something much beyond just being "not easy" or even difficult. It is like trying to breath submerged in water with the cognitive dissonance that easy breathing is also possible in a world as sketched by Ayn Rand. If she could imagine Fransisco, Rearden & Galt, she must have seen half a Frisco somewhere. I envy her the luck at times and pine more for that world.
Your post reminded me of my Idol. Love it.
Take care.
P.S. you had posted it long back so hoping that whatever small worries were there are over.
:)
Hello all :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your valuable replies.
Troubles are like waves but thankfully I am still anchored and everything's fine.
As for long hibernation, writing sparks less often these days. :)
