Analytical conclusions.

Read, think analyze and then react......time and again......we are reminded to retrospect on that subject.  When we read a story, a poem or a note on something, we just superficially read it and then make our own conclusions. Do we stop to think about what, we have read and allow it to sink into us, feel that....  Comprehend what we had read and then analyze it. Many of us hardly do it. 

Sometimes we do connect to it, keeping aside the underlying depth and meaning of what we had read. We go off track to what had connected it to us. Then we draw a conclusion. But are we doing justice to the writer? We just throw in our queries and draw our own conclusions. It is said that a good writer, makes the reader think....and leaves them confused after reading. It doesn't leave our minds that easily. It returns to haunt us....the words keep churning in our minds. And we realize  the actual underlying meaning and depth of those words.


A friend of mine always says.....the stories, poems or notes once written and placed before public, it is at the disposal of the readers to make their own analytical conclusions. The writer deftly plays with the words to make a beautiful creation. It is then placed before the readers. Some just read it for the fun of it. Some understand the superficial meaning of it. Some brush aside the subject and the object. Some strip it apart. Some really sink into the articulately placed words and fish out the depth and meaning of it. Everyone connects to it and that shows the calibre of the writer.


As I was just analyzing all this, I realized with wonder, how well all these connects to our day to day life. Sometimes it makes us jump into conclusions. It is just superficially brushed aside because we want to churn only in the happiness it gives. Whatever life places before us, we want only that which gives happiness. We never try to sink into it and analyze it. We don't like to go to the depth of life and find a glowing light there, that can lead us to real meaning of life. 

Just as we place words.....we place our life on the threshold of all challenges and vulnerability. It is we, who have to analyze it and chaff out what is in the core of it. We can become a victim to it or emerge a winner.  It is our attitude towards it that gets us the connects and we conclude  analytically..... 


As Pablo Neruda quotes "The books that help you most are those which make you think the most. The hardest way of learning is that of easy reading; but a great book that comes from a great thinker is a ship of thought, deep freighted with truth and beauty.”   Yes.....what we read and makes us think the most......is what has the most beautiful message in it. Some thing that leaves us flabbergasted at the depth and meaning of what we see in those words. I feel so is it with life. A life that always make us wonder at the sheer meaning it gives us. A life that throws , depth and meaning to others, solely by the light it throws to others.
