Kingsman

To think that to be great is to have no flaws is a folly.

For one that thinks that being great requires you to have no flaws, is no great man, as it is essential to be flawed for one to be great.
Acceptance makes you great.
A great man is very well acquainted with his flaws, and understands that others are flawed too.

A man pretending to be great is pretending to have no flaws.
Well, for them greatness lies in that, but little do they know, that there is no greater killer of the truth, than pretence.
These men aren't great because great men stand for the truth, no matter what string pulls them back. And with truth out of the picture, greatness remains nothing but a farce.

A great man is one with virtues as strong as his opinions, and ideals as just as his calls.

But, does that mean every great man is a hero?

No.
For, great men aren't bound with their strings of extremist righteousness.
Heroes can be great men, but not every hero is a great man.

So to ask me, I'd rather be much more than just a hero. A great man, a king perhaps.
Or even better, a queen. As humanity knows, a king is defenceless without his queen, even in the game of chess.

    I like it. I would be quoting you in one of the posts. Great mean are acquainted with their flaws.
    They accept their flaws so well that even the world begins to accept that. Greatness lies in what you truly are, even after the presence of those flaws.

The monotony of being different

All my life I was told I am different. Sometimes it was appreciated, sometimes not so much.  I was told I had energy unparalleled, sometimes appreciated, other times not. Some people tell me how much they admired me, some said I couldn’t be understood.  Ever since I was a child, I was told being different is good.  In school, I was told different people tend to make better lives for themselves. In movies, I was shown that the protagonist is always, well, different.  These notions influenced my perspective towards life, making me crave the feeling of being different. Having said that, I was never treated like I was different, challenging my notion of me being “different”. However, sometime back I realized that I was never treated like I was different because no one wanted me to know how different I am.  Every time something nice happened to me, every time I said something exceptional, people tried to normalize how exceptional these things were. That is when I cou...

Touch

I’d never thought someone could ever replicate his touch. The way my heart pounded when he  touched me with his eyes, touched me from within. The kind of unrest- I called love. He invoked an unknown, vivid and restless fire inside of me. I couldn’t sit still when he was around, couldn’t do anything far related to calm. He was like the storm I had never experienced in life. It’s different now. I don’t feel the same way when I first started out, I was afraid. There was no fire, no storm. I was terrified- what if I don’t feel the same way about him , that way, the way I felt about him. I felt like the sea- calm, composed and really at peace. Like I have reached my horizon after miles of swaying, swimming and searching. Suddenly, my life is about me, and I feel like I want him , not need him . I was lying there, confused, about what I felt. Was the unrest that I felt love? Was the calm inside of me a sign of my incapability to love again? Or w...

Soldier

Somewhere inside of me, lies an imaginary soldier. This fierce, fearless soldier is ready to fight anyone, anything. Why bleed and contaminate the world with the filth of violence, when your inner soldier is ready to bleed thoughts and corrupt your mind. Demons or no demons, this soldier bleeds to make you live. Poker faces, funny laughter. You think there's no demon behind this fellow? Never were you, or will be so wrong! Just how the light makes its place in the darkness, and it is the dark that always prevails, our demons always will be beneath the fake and futile mask of happiness. Futile. Why futile? To be happy isn't futile. When a kid compares his father to Iron Man - that's happiness. However, when the father tries to show himself more to be like Iron Man when he actually feels like Batman? That's not happy. That's futile. That's when happy becomes futile. One can fight to achieve what they want. Provided when it's fighting others. But, when you h...
