A LIFE SPENT IN VAIN, WRITING FOR AN AUDIENCE IN ABSENTIA

A LIFE SPENT IN VAIN, WRITING FOR AN AUDIENCE IN ABSENTIA

Writing has become a thankless job where I spend my hours in vain as busybodies either neglect the posts or are content to write inconsequential comments that may at best be deemed unconcerned or lazy. And, to top it all, there are the over-wise interpreters of the scriptures who pass facile remarks that are easy to counter, though, but I desist from doing so to avoid offending the otherwise easy offender.

When I behold this sad state of things I wonder whither we are headed as a culture, as a civilisation that has been the intellectual and spiritual fountainhead of the world. I am immensely saddened to witness this precipitous decline in culture and the sheer apathy of people, literate, cultured people to anything good, literature refined and chiselled to sophisticated proportions that yet fail to draw an appreciative reception till death deals it the final blow and posterity howls over 'love's labour lost'.
