Today another one goes out..i feel i have grown old today, as i did not feel the usual sting i used to when one of them went out. Today, I just sighed!!! Today it was just a small halt of my mind, as if raising its hat for the smallest fraction of a second to salute the one gone by, and then it was back to the usual poetry of daily life.
The candle i am referring to is a human being and the light was the talent, the zeal, the passion, the determination to devote endless hours to the pursuit of creation...... Its unusual, I am young (21), and i have already seen so many lights extinguish that i seem to have come to terms with it. No longer an effort to put my hand and burn it to stop one from going out. I myself wonder why????
Anyways ...n moving on..
Some go out with a flicker and some dont!! Its rare to see talent in this sea of second-raters, i long for seeing people who wanna make a difference , who have potential and want to use it. The tsunami of second-raters and their love for status quo sweeps them over, blowing them out one by one.
Its on days like these that you remember a book called Atlas Shrugged and a lady called Ayn Rand.
Rest in Peace!!! May the world not run out of them, may two be born for every one of them is merely a hope. I do hope, but dont know if i use the word in a positive or a negative sense. Alas, its evening again and something dull bout the sky, the usual stillness has set in, typical of most evenings, I m eagerly waiting for the night ...donno why...maybe just hoping that the darkness of night will provide some shelter..some activity.....i m waiting.... for what..not quite sure...i love nights...
Just wondering that is this the truth of society? is this what they call the secrets of adult hood? the stepping stone to maturity...is this the shameful reality that they hide from a kid. For how long will we survive the the burning out of candles, what if all of them burn out? On whose shoulders will they rest the burden of their hope,WHO will move them forward from one civilization era to another, who will make time count.
Why does not anyone speak out..why do not we hear a voice when the talent is stamped upon..all we see and only sometimes so is a flicker..a flicker before the burn out.!!!
I can go on writing about it..knowing well that you would have stopped reading long back...anyways i will stop here....just one last memorable quote
"A cause has been defeated today ..the effect lost forever....I am holding ..n shall all my life..thats the purpose of my living."
