Sleepless in Blogosphere
Ever since I was young I always wanted a place to escape into and let my imagination rule. I have a 21st century mind but I think my id lives in the Romantic times.
Is excessive imagination a sign of an underdeveloped superego? Where is Freud? What about genius? Is genius some kind of knowledge from the past? Is genius rational……I could ask a thousand questions and convince myself that my blogophilia is a rational choice. The truth is it is not. The more I do it, the more I become desperate for it……it is like smoking marijuana or skiving classes……or sinning……it sucks you deeper and deeper into a bottomless pit until you are broke and penniless and still imaginative and wanting more…..
That is why you cannot blog solely for cash, even if your blog pours a couple or a trickle of it...There is a deep, volcanic passion that accompanies and sustains you even when your Adsense account reads $0.0000000000….
Once you open your blog, your mind closes to reality and the world that stares at you is a rusty computer and the hundreds of your loyal “friends”, waiting eagerly for your fingers to tell the story of the day……
My instincts tell me that this the feeling that Einstein felt when he worked his way towards the General Relativity theory ,Schrödinger on his way to wave mechanics and the Spanish conquistadores in their heavenly search for El Dorado. It is not a feeling as such...It is a state….like living in a second dimension where time is no longer the dictator of events …the imagination dictates everything….
We all hate time….the Mussolini of the Space….what would space be without time….perhaps eternity but maybe that is what makes life so beautiful…..it is a time dependent state of affairs….if life was so long what would you do the rest of the time after you turn 80 and are deprived of the life’s finest moments. If we lived to 400 years, most teen suicides would be the at the age 120…
We live in a perfect system…the Blogosphere is the world .What if the Bohemians had had a blog ,or Emily Dickinson or Edgar Allan Poe where they gave the world voices of genius and Google Adsense gave them cash to get bye……some 100years from now the world will discover an Emily Dickinson in some obscure blog ..And we will relish the greatness of the blog…….
