The Fun We Have!

Sometimes it feels nice….
To create without direction.

The literary equivalent of packing your rucksack and setting off for the unknown on a whim. Not knowing where to go, or what to do when you reach there.

We humans have always had a fascination for the unknown; for setting off without a safety net, so to speak. It’s a risky game, fraught with countless dangers…

Heroes and legends have been created this way!

As I said, it is nice… to create a semblance of that singular effect sitting at my desk… walking down undiscovered by-lanes… treading uncharted waters… not knowing what I’ll find when the journey finally ends.

So my fingers keep moving over the keyboard, thinking and typing and smiling and rambling…
It’s fun.
You should try it sometime.

The fun is in the discovery. You yourself don’t know what you’ll do, what you’ll end up creating! But all of it happens in a sanitized environment.

You don’t have to fear death...
You needn’t worry about creating a Frankenstein.

Or did I get that wrong?

Can such literary adventures release some hitherto undiscovered ‘idea virus’?
Some train of thought that never could hope to see the light of day, but sneaked out in the cerebral mayhem?

Can not the fingers create ‘lines of disaster’?
Incite radicals… fuel passions… release hatred?

Maybe they can.
Maybe this is not a sanitized adventure after all…

There is a reason why people love to take charge, to be in control of their environment... It helps maintain sanity in a world too eager to go astray.

But when it does… When someone breaks the barriers of convention and ventures into virgin territory...

Oh! The fun we have!
