Gone with the wind...

Rarely does a movie or a book gets you thinking about life itself. This was one book that had my head spinning and made me scared and insecure about everything. It had so many aspects woven intricately into it that it just amazes me! Makes me wonder what the writer had in her mind, was it actually her aim to incorporate intense aspects into her book, or was it a lucky coincidence that it turned out to be like that. Reading a book always makes me think about the writer, wonder what made them write that, does it reflect any or all parts of their personality and thought. Perception is what makes a book appeal to a certain person, although state of mind also plays an important role. Would someone like something the same if they were not in their paticular position in life, would it be less or more appealing to them if they were in a different or contrasting position in life. Why is this particular book so appealing! It amazes me how a parallel intense story runs through each page and character of the book when the surface is telling a simple love and war story. It is always the women who run life, who run emotions, even though its men who win wars and who rule the world. The two main pillars in the book, the two women, one who is pure compassion and blindly affectionate; and the other with an undying spirit and zest for life, who can support the world on her shoulders, as she cannot live without a life that she imagined, and who will get that life no matter what.

So what runs this world, is it compassion and purity, or is it spirit and a never say die attitude. 'Spirit for life' fights and wins bread and butter, leaving hope for a tomorrow, giving support and a shoulder to lean on for 'compassion and affection'; well then does such an undying spirit is what rules the world!? No... For when compassion dies, there is a death of the soul, the very soul that keeps the world alive. Compassion is what glues humanity together, and by potraying compassion as a weak and fragile character, the book truly reflects the world and humanity, and how there always was and always will be a dearth of completely selfless and compassinate people in the world, who give out total undying affection to everybody, and in the end touch every person's soul they come across, even the ones that never realized they had a soul.
So does this mean I do not comply with the leading character of the book! Well no, because everything in this world is interdependent. What you realize is compassion is a weak person, and the undying spirit of life is what carries it along, giving it a supporting shoulder ( many a times unwillingly), feeding life into it and quite unknowingly fulfilling the purpose of compassion in life. If compassion glues the humanity together, its the spirit of life that keeps the world alive. And if there is one person who can survive even the death of compassion, it is this spirit, and thats what makes the world tick each day, thats what makes the world look forward to another day, thats what tells the world that there is a tomorrow, and tomorrow may be a better day.
