This post has prompted more reactions than any other of my previous entries. Laudations and criticism equally distributed.
While one friend praised my writing skills suggesting for me to join
the London Times as a columnist, another friend felt that the allegory
in Why Men are like TV production companies? seemed a bit crude
and simplistic. I am truly sorry if I offended anyone, this was
certainly not my intention. Please remember to always read my posts
with a grain
of salt and that life is too serious to be taken seriously. Not every
bit of information on here is factual and some of it is purposely
overly exaggarated, such as the above mentioned post. I did not mean to
offend
anyone, let alone men. I have a weakness for them I will even put it in
writing. I love men!
Nonetheless, I am glad my post prompted as many reactions as it did.
Someone continued my thoughts, pinpointing the role of mammal biology and basic instincts.
A very interesting thought, indeed. To what extent are we simply ruled
by our animalistic nature? The id, as Freud had coined it, this inner
drive that is beyond the control of reason and social norms. The movie Instinct
has attempted to answer this question in a very picturesque narrative.
Demonstrating how eons of evolution can be wiped out when it comes to
fighting for survival. Then we all become animals so to speak, while
morality, norms and education are vehemently pushed aside.
I know, I quote a lot of movies in my posts. However, aside from watching them for a living, many movies simply inspire me.
Speaking of which, my inspiration for writing, the momentum for my
thoughts, that what gets my creative juices flowing is ultimately only
one thing, the reader. You.
Admittedly, I too dream of an avid
readership as that of Kevin Sites. People continuing the thoughts they
had read about, comments that in turn prompt an entirely new debate.
I seek to make people think, not necessarily agreeing with me all the
time, but exploring their own thoughts. And if in the end I have
reached only one person, then this is all I need to know.
