Writing is a therapy of sort, who would agree on this? Learning to write and convey your opinions in sentences with the appropriate terminology is a sense of freedom like no other. Trying to come up with some better topic to catch a reader’s attention after writing about a hundred posts or so may appear a burden on the mind but if you look closely beyond the issue you will be delighted without end. Why? Here’s how. Every one of us is a ticking bomb, no exceptions. We have within us the force or energy to do good or evil and without the right outlet to let this force out in the harmless way no doubt there would be great harm upon ourselves or people and creatures around us.
Through the years we have known great personalities in history who made a name for themselves by harnessing that hidden, restless force within thus paving way for painters, poets, athletes, sculptors and scholars to etch works of art and literature and attain amazing feats in sports worthy of admiration. On the other side we have the darker part which chronicled the rise of “Jack the Ripper”, personalities like Theodore Kaczynski (the Unabomber), a million unnamed psychos in our midst and hundreds of unidentified mentally imbalanced citizens in mental institutions and thousands more caged in penal colonies. The dark party who managed to converge and organize themselves under the cloak of some religious fanatical ideologies becomes the ultimate threat to the state of our world and the United Nations have sent up forces to neutralize them in Afghanistan and other classified places in the planet.
Right here, now we are just beginning to realize the difference or if not, I’m compelled to do the wake up call to make you blink your eyes and rise up with a jubilant spirit. Writing is boring at times and tedious but you will arrive at a better subject to elaborate soon or late. The thing is you don’t have that restless ticking sense within you to pick up a knife and plunge it to somebody’s heart or tinker with an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) to send an explosion to kingdom come somewhere. Your instinct maybe amateur at first if you’re just beginning but don’t rush up to attain so many comments if you’re a blogger. Write that line for a start here, now. . . for the clock is ticking. And while some violent massacre of a thousand innocents maybe occurring at this same moment in spacetime, somewhere, you can do whatever you please even murder or rape in the sanity of a gifted writer putting out the lines to complete his novel. Now that’s quite a tip for each and everyone who wishes to do bloody, bad, violent things without the risk of ever been convicted and doing time in prison. There’s only one prison which most of us hardly have the freedom to get on with: ourselves.
