I too Have Tasted Life

Like many of you, I too have tasted life. But I feel that the difference between many of you and a few people like me is that I describe many things in life as they are, not as I wish them to be. Of course, I wish many things were the other way around. But I will not lead my life based on my wishful thinking. Frankly speaking, I have been criticized for doing so, for reality astonish those who do not live it. It only relieves the tension of those who really live it. Reality, for many, is always to be avoided. I am also among those many people, but I want to write reality rather than speak it. Speaking it is another thorny issue. Talking about poverty doesn't necessarily mean that I have gone through it. The same is true of failure, pessimism, hopelessness, ugliness, etc. What I write therefore does not always address my own personality. Let us take the example of beauty of the soul as some say. Personally, I do not believe in it at all. It is true that beauty of the soul exists, but people do not marry for the sake of it. Beauty of the soul is just a result of auto-suggestion which ugly men and women can't help feeling. And I hate people who find this an excuse on the day of the proposal. Let ugly men get married to ugly women and handsome men to beautiful women. No to idealism when our life is serious! No to auto-suggestion when we ourselves are not convinced! No to shamming appreciation! No to imposing your fake principles on those who find them unnecessary in their lives! No to proposing to a beautiful girl when you yourself aren't handsome enough! No to making a girl fall in love with you unless she herself does! No to social hypocrisy if you really want to live in the fullest sense of the word!
