So, today I woke up feeling a little drab, not that I had a
rough night or any of those looming fears to face the day, no. And being an
ardent user of the internet, I rummage through the sites hoping to see some
well written content that could somehow salvage my rather dreary self. To my
luck, I stumble on this Mark Twain excerpt which talks about the worth of life
and all that. The favourite part is when he says “I did
not attend his funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it.” This
line is described beautifully when "eternity" is compared to
the same non-existence we did not experience before birth.
I read this and am thinking, surely, there`s always a nice
way to explain something bad, like my the many times that we get judged by all
and sundry. Being an avid reader of Twain`s work, I never get disappointed. He is
full of subtle humour and whenever I feed my eyes with his marvels, I always
get pleasure, a replenished soul and most importantly, real intellectual
enjoyment. It`s makes me wish there was a better class of us who read Mark
Twain, and if there is, then that`s it, they`re more replenished and intelligent,
something we all need. Away from that, before I digressed, I had a plight, my
sleazy and dreary morning before Mark Twain happened. It may not apply to all but;
some content has a way of reversing moods. And if this fits the glove to most
of you, the better, but if it doesn’t, well, "Suppose you were an idiot.
And suppose you were a member of Congress........ But the bottom
line is, there’s actually a person I know who fits this feeling for me.
Nice one Allan but i feel you have used big words which have
ReplyDeletesimpler and well known synonyms that could be used.
Care to mention some of them Lilly?
