There is no good or bad without us, there is only perception. There is the event itself and the story we tell ourselves about what it means.
Ryan Holiday
We all love stories. Don’t we?
In the like pretext, rarely have I met a person who doesn’t like movies.
For, movies move many stories and we can’t help but be captivated by their awe.
Personally, I believe stories have immense power.
We all ought to ‘authentically’ put one. Take it as one of our moral obligation.
Not only the highlight reality over social media. Not only the sugar. Not only the cream.
But both good and bad.
I was talking to my girlfriend about it as she’d ask why do you always have this strong urge to tickle the terrible days of the past; emphasize on the contrast you have with the present?
I said, i only tell stories. It’s upto the readers how they’d want to look at it.
I don’t have grip over their narrative and rightly so.
We risk nakedness.
We risk mis-interpretations.
We risk judgements.
Namaste.
