Tips for Writers : Honesty
is the best policy
Like in all other walks of life, in literature also “Honesty is
the best policy”. When it is written with honesty and read with equal or rather
more honesty, it makes the book immortal. The more burden lies on the shoulder
of the reader. If he reads the book that are based on false values, it means he
appreciates and promotes Hippocratic literature. Ultimately he becomes
responsible for dragging the society in the wrong direction. He does not want
the people to understand the true meaning of life, and condemns any efforts
made in that direction by the author as well as other readers. Why he would do
so?
Upbringing of a person plays a very important role. What type of
parents, school, friends and environment an individual is subjected to in early
childhood, frames his personality. Society condemns a person with a negative
approach, but it is society that has played an important role in making him so.
“I am not OK, you are not OK” to “I am OK you are OK” an individual has to
travel a long journey, identify his conditioning and work on it to make his
mind pure and unconditional.
We may think that it is the best option for anybody and he would
readily accept once it is pointed out to him. But unfortunately it is not so.
Such people have another problem of inflated ego. They are not ready to accept
that their projection to outward situations of life is imbalanced and they need
to work on it, on the contrary they become furious and react aggressively to
defend their self projected image in their subconscious mind, that they are
perfectly normal.
If you come across such person by misfortune, who are commonly
called pain, you know where, believe me you are at the end of a blind alley.
This is the high time to rest on laurels on behavioral therapy and subjugate
yourself and the subject in the hands of supernatural powers. Some miracle may
happen and the strong bond of stimuli and response in the mind of the subject
would break, and he would be able to see the spark of Holy light that dwells in
the pure unconditioned mind.
Honesty is a tool to explore the different realm of your psyche
and thus takes you to the core of your existence.
