Nothing beats
speaking and writing truth. But alas it’s seldom spoken and more rarely
written. It’s not a crime to expect abundant adulation for what one believes is
true talent. But then I think of it again is it selfish to feel so? Absolutely
not!
Being born
human it’s natural for one to expect returns. A little bit of support sure
helps. I think again trying to flow along with the thoughts that emerge in my
mind. It’s simply relieving when one simply expresses thoughts just the way
they appear in one’s mind.
A lot of
people say and true in the real world you are not good enough if you don’t know
how to sell your thoughts. But I ask my soul tonight, how true is it? I hear
words, - “It’s never worth to sell ones soul for a few moments of joy. The Joy
felt is no different than finding a mirage in a hot and sunny desert.”
So now the
question is why do I write then? Why do I express these thoughts brewing deep
within my heart? I hear feeble words from within – “I’m human after all! What
good are thoughts unexpressed, what good are they when not shared?”
It’s much
better to be appreciated or be criticized for words and thoughts that you
believe in. Than being spoken about for words written by you but are just words
that you don’t believe in. Words written with the mere intention to please the
masses and words written about things you believe in and loved by the masses
are two different aspects. It’s for you to choose.
Thoughts are
many which find no words to be expressed. Many a thoughts fail to find words;
many a thoughts fail to be depicted in their true emotions.
Hypocrites!
Not just the people around, but we ourselves are at times. It’s no crime to be
heard by few souls amongst the billions who co-exist. For sure this life of
ours is mortal. All that remains is memory when we are gone.

~ Cheers & Peace!
How true Vijay. We all express out thoughts truthfully most of the time, at least I do but they are woven with some strands of fantasy too. I write because I need to let out all the pent up emotions and once I do I feel so much more at peace. And when it is commented on there is a kind of high. I think we all love people to acknowledge us but most importantly it is the letting go off what you feel through your words.
ReplyDeleteHi Rimly.Thanks for reading my post. Your blog is one amongst the few I follow and I enjoy reading your posts cause there is some kinda connect I guess. All I can say is keep writing... keep blogging.. keep rocking
DeleteTrue VJ. What good are thoughts unexpressed? Nothing. In fact, it might be pain, unfelt. It might be happiness, shelved.

DeleteHello Vijay.
ReplyDeleteSo true. I am one who loves to write. To write is to feel. To feel is to live. To live is to love. There is so much of me in my writings but I put it across in such a way as to leave the reader wondering. Nicely expressed. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteAnd I am happy I did so today,after a very long time,I am reading something that is "real"....I have truly believed that writing releases stress for me,and bis an outlet for my emotions,but off late I stopped doing so,because I realized I was writing to please others,for blog traffic,and for fame,and this made me feel so low and degrading...After reading your post I am feeling like making a come back again....Thank u for this one!!!
