The One in the Herd

Against Societal Zombies..

By GiriPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Everything that everyone ever needs to hear has already been told or written.

Why do you even want to be a writer?

No one will read your work,

No one has the patience to read

No one has the ability to understand anymore

No one is ready to learn new things anymore

No one wants to learn the art anymore

No one wants to slow down

No one wants to relax

No one wants to do something just because their intuition tells them to do

No one will sit through a book to read the same story someone told years ago, but slightly in different perspective.

The modern mind is poisoned by short scrolls

The modern mind only wants money

The modern mind exists on illuminated screen

Everyone wants to be unique but end up the same

So, tell me why do you even want be a writer for this zombies?

My mother asked,

I said “Atleast I won’t be zombie in your eyes”

    Yes, this is soooo true! I think it's enough if we just write for ourselves.
