“I haven’t the slightest interest in being happy. I prefer to live life passionately, which is dangerous because you never know what might happen next.”
-A line from Paulo Coelho’s ‘Adultery’ where a writer confesses this to the narrator.
A writer can never be happy. There are people who strive for happiness and then there are writers who are expert in complicating things. They are restless creatures, in search of something to talk about. In every creation, they leave some of them. Writers are losers. Losing is their forte. Life for them is like a rough sheet where they keep on scribble, one after another page is torn (read mistakes) and they keep on writing. Jumping into wrong decisions, committing mistakes are something done very consciously to let the soul suffer. So much so that, one sits with a pen and paper and it becomes easy to squeeze the heart out to bleed.
Agonies are the weapons for a writer. When one desires to be a writer or claims to be one, the person is already throwing himself into an unpredictable life where he is going to sell his wounds. No pain, no gain- No other proverb is as apt as this to talk about a writer. He is there, exposing all his wounds, telling stories. In fact, this is true for any creative individual. They attract pains in order to improvise their creations. Pick any autobiography of a legend; you can see the struggle in front of your eyes. Pangs of anguish that thoroughly tormented them, led to create the most celebrated masterpieces.
Writers have a strange kind of arrogance. They are ridiculed, tormented, broken, destroyed and yet somehow manages to retain the pride deep inside their heart. Monetary insecurity, disturbed personal life, solitude… very common aspects for them! They are often advised to opt for an alternative profession by random people. Yes it becomes difficult to survive just as a writer, anticipating your creations to become a best seller someday! But the arrogance pushes them to keep on trying for it. They are never satisfied in any other profession and always busy looking for something comforting without knowing what!
Creative minds are meant to be alone. But it doesn’t mean they don’t like company. But at some point of time, they need their own space to procrastinate, observe and think. It is difficult to understand for a non-creative person how the mind of the other person really works. If inspiration strikes, midnight is not the time to sleep but get up to release the thoughts into words. They fail to make things understandable for the world. Instead of verbal communication, they take refuge in pen and paper. As misery follows in the face of great loss, brain spreads its wings to explore new perspectives. ‘Post-traumatic growth’, as the psychologists call it, has been proven as one of the most popular ways of healing.
So, all the minds that wander are not lost. They may have found its way in wandering itself! But none can deny the fact, in spite of the unpredictability, creative people are irresistibly sexy! If you are a person with substance and hate to indulge in small talks, they are the best people for company. Their company can actually open the door of new perspective, take someone to a different world through their intellect, make anyone feel alive and delighted like never before.
But beware! Their happiness and agonies are contagious. One cannot help but simply gets carried away to see the world in their perspective!
Stupendous! I think, not only agony, but every emotion is a weapon for a writer!
True that!
