What is literature?
How it shaped me?
From last
five years, I am reading literature and from that I come out as mature person.
To reading literature is an intellectual activity, we have to think, connect
and understand it. Through reading literature I can able to know about various behavior of person, able to know the human emotions and how to control it,
etc. So, I can say that it is helpful to me.
But there are some
questions raised in my mind regarding it. The person who can write best book of
literature, obviously his/her understanding is very high and yet they commit
suicide, why? Person who knows everything that what to do, and what not to do, after
knowing both the things also they are doing wrong things, why?
There are also some
things regarding literature that when we don't know about deep understanding of
literature at that time we are OK. But after knowing the harsh realities of our
society through literature, we can't live life easily because it gives us uneasiness
and in that point it proofed that "knowledge is course". We know
everything that these many things are wrong or harmful for society and yet we
are helpless. We can't do anything. And perhaps because of this reason some
writers commit suicide.
Literature leads us to be wiser but with that uneasiness also
come.
Literature is like hammer or potter which moulds our personality.
It works like "Karela" that its taste is bitter but it
is sweeter for health.
Only the very weak-minded refuse to be influenced by literature
and poetry.
