(Continued from last
post)
~last time we left our author feeling all ecstatic and hyper about
finally figuring out a way to keep his lovers safe and sound from the audience
(or was he actually making a prophetic reference to paparazzi? 0.0). either
way, his solution was marvellous. By using crime and thrillers, love was cosily
tucked away in a corner.
Now it was time to test the waters. This,
he may have done in all possible ways he could think of. Think about it; when
you have some ground-breaking theory/idea, do you just blurt it out to the
general-public? Where’s the data to answer the audience when they ask their
questions? How can you retort back to the pathetic, undiscerning judging
critique, who is /always/ ready to point-out flaws and mistakes? Where’s the
solid piece of ground you’re going to stand on, when the world begins to tremble
due to the change of thought you’re about to bring forth? Therefore, yes, you
need time to think about it. You need to stop and think about /how/ you’re
going to face all the negativity. Positivity can be dealt with modesty and
humble gratitude; but facing negativity requires wisdom and courage on
your side. Combine these with the need to find a suitable party who are agreeable
to work with your script and publish what you’ve composed, without changing the
contents… it’s safe to assume that such necessities were a little hard to be
fulfilled within days or weeks as they do in our time.
Again and again, I keep telling you, these
things are /not/ done in an instant. Creations such as these don’t get to the
common citizen until months and months (maybe even years!) after the original
plan has been set down. Time is /essential/. The delicacy of a thought is one
of the most fragile subjects I’ve ever known. It is like a porcelain artefact
belonging to Ming dynasty. One wrong touch and all the effort is lost. Gone forever.
So, if anyone out there thinks that ‘it is stupid and grotesque to procrastinate
without giving out a good idea’, I tell you this: if a good idea is let out
simply as a good idea, would you ever be able to put it into any use? Would /you/
like to spend time and effort to make an idea feasible? Or would it be more
satisfying if I were to give you a feasible instrument that I’ve already invented
by putting my good idea into use? Don’t judge people when you don’t have the
correct patience; in the big picture, you’re only the spoilt, impertinent (and
rather stupid,) kid in the corner.
Look at the world with a broad perspective.
You’ll see that each and everything has its own way of doing things. We all
have our own different ways of thinking about the same topic. But if you look
closely, in the end, all these different methods reach the same end. Even if
you take a different pathway, you end up in the same place as all others who
began with you (assuming all of you made it to the end). Before shouting out
criticism and sneering at another for their ‘snail-pace’, also remind yourself
the phrase ‘slow and steady wins the race’. Learn to accept another person’s
way of thinking and give that damn inner-critic of yours, a run for its money!
(Once that bastard is gone, you’ll have more room for happiness and inner
peace).
Now I know I was supposed to explain how
our author used subtext; but this dark topic about negative criticism needed to
be dealt with, before plunging into such lighter areas…
