You know... I was listening to Only by NIN and I was forced to think.
The line,
Less concerned about fitting into the world,
Your world, that is, 'cos it doesn't really matter anymore...
is quite all right, at first... Then if you start peeling away at it you're gonna end up ruining your grooving session and end up with a book instead!

Yeah, my experience exactly.

Anyway... Blogger's got a scheduled outage sometime soon and I don't want my posts to be collateral damage.
I was reading one of Huxley's works and he was writing something about The Whole Truth.
He argued that The Whole Truth does not necessarily seek to personify the characters in a narrative as heroes or supermen... It is the whole truth that (sic) caused Homer's Odysseus to expertly cook a meal and eat it with his sailing fellows, then after the meal they remembered their six companions that had been snatched from the ship and devoured... And they began to weep and howl... And thus their tears brought upon them soft sleep.

Well I'm sure I'm the kinda writer who'd dedicate an entire CHAPTER to just the lamentation of those poor guys and how the sailing of the ship, the subsequent landing and meal, etc etc was put in jeopardy because of the loss of those six men... However, since Homer is embellishing his narrative with only The Whole Truth, the events after their loss are not just superficial, but practical... Men know that even after having to witness such a horrific end of their comrades, they still have to eat... To sleep... To rest...

Then came the question of five relatively modern literary artists... Lawrence, Gide, Kafka, Hemingway and Proust... Five writers as different from each other as the various hues in the primary color wheel... Each with his own sensibilities, convictions, way of putting things across (sic) and so on.

Yet they all utilize The Whole Truth. That is what binds them together. And that is what makes their work instantly click with our own mind because, The Whole Truth has a nasty habit of making itself felt in our OWN mentality... because we can infer that this is definitely true, or would be true, in such and such a situation... For example... If I were one of the fortunate crew sailing with Odysseus... I would be damned hungry, regardless of my partners dying or not.

Leave the Truth to people who think they know it best.

And Ekta Kapoor of course (HEE HEE HEE)
