Arts & Humanities - 6 July 2006

I have often noticed that most people fall into three distinct character types based upon this simple question.

Which of these defines you as a person?

Are you among those for whom the past (their own or in general) is the factor by which you live?

Or, do you believe that the best for you is yet to come, imagining a bright and brilliant future?

How many of you out there are having your best time right now? Carpe diem!

Personally, I am living for the future. You?

I'm an avid reader, and I read constantly on the bus on the way to Uni, at the bus stop, and I take a book everywhere with me in my backpack. So now my question; What do girls think of guys that read books? Surely there are different opinions for different girls, but what would a girls first thought be when she sees a guy reading a novel?

If someone passes away for example, is "closure" just a way to not feel guilty for not feeling as bad anymore?

I'm trying to be a writer. My stories have gotten some good reviews but the editors aren't buying. I'm starting to feel like I'm wasting my time. I'm getting frustrated by the potential but nonexistent income that my little family could really use. What are you supposed to do when they like what they read but don't want you because they consider you a nobody!!!????!!!!

Today is 6 July, and Wladyslaw Szpilman, a famous Polish pianist, died six years ago today. On his death day and birthday, 5 December, I always feel obligated to pay respects to him in some way. This happens to many people that I became "close" to by studing their lives and works.
Does anyone else feel this need? I'm not talking about feeling happiness for George Washington during President's Weekend-- that's entirely different unless one has truly studied his life and felt a connection with him, not just knowing that he was the first president of the US. So, I'm asking, do I stand alone, because it does seem like lonely work sometimes.

He has given us a synthesis of the East and West by "The Life Divine,"(which if you wish to read it, it is quite fun to read 1100+ pages of philosophy), he has given his own vision of unity with diversity through "The Ideal of Human Unity," and has granted one of the foremost epics of the English Language, "Savitri." Although I am of the West, he speaks with more fluidity than both Milton and Kant put together.
