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...

Compulsion

I had given my heart and soul to the person who didn't have either. My affection for him was like the tempest, wrecking any ship that'd take me safe to the  shore, making my soul drench, then drown. Ironically enough, just like a soulless body is lost at sea, with no efforts to swim up to the rim, my soul drifted and swayed. For that's when I thought, to be lost is to love, and I thought I loved with my heart and soul, not knowing that the day I realise what I thought to be his guard, was a farce, and my love for him, light refracted by glass, is near. For when light is refracted by glass- probably my compulsion to reciprocate his love here,  you see colours to be different, for I mistook the wavelength of my passion for love.

Anchor

In this hour of chaos, where the mist of uncertainty clouds my mind and the poison of doubt corrupts it, I can't help but realize something. Funny, how we preach that our anchor should be someone who connects us to sanity and clears all that pushes us into the dark, but choose someone for an anchor who shatters us, fully, without leaving one ounce of our body unbroken. Funny, truly it is, that I chose my anchor to be someone much worse. At least with others, there's a chance of recuperation, for broken pieces to be brought together to form something stronger. With mine, none. My anchor consumed the flawed me, leaving no trace of who I was. Challenged every thing I believed in, only to get stronger. When they think of it this way, I see what I call my anchor, as parasitic, something far from what could possibly keep you from insanity. The idea of it feeding on me haunts them. But, I keep telling them, and maybe a part of me, that it isn't true. Speculation always ge...
