Don't Whisper Shout It Out - LOUD !

It was a kind of an inevitable question. But I had never given a thought to it untill the question actually surfaced -
Why do you write your blogs ?
As usual, I tried to present an explanation, using my limited rhetoric skills.
"I write them for my personal satisfaction", I said.
"I want to share my vision, my views(?)... what's the harm ?"
He seemed satisfied( I suppose ).
But a certain hole was uncovered & i was falling short of earth to cover it up.
And then yesterday i realized this beautiful thought -
Its not just the words of the Author which completely puts down a thought, but the views and reviews of the readers which confirms its existence... proves its worth.
- curtesy to a fan of mine.
She's the greatest, genuine, admirer i'll ever get
- a beautifull friend
She told me - " It's not about simply posting blogs, but rather expanding your own horizons, reviewing your thoughts through the comments of others. Its letting people understand you & also vice-versa".
Its like opening up yourselves - to emit & to absorb.
She justified my desired to write.
She gave me the words to express - why I post my blogs & why i covet for comments.
To emit & to Absorb.
Its like I'am the presence & She is my "Justification".

...Man's Best Friend...

A friend in need, is a friend in deed.

True, very true...
The above theme was a topic of a very casual discussion amongst a couple of friends of mine (as we had nothing important to talk about)
There were many views.
I was not holding an opinion.
I was basically considering the answers. And there was one particular answer which struck me as a beautiful concept.
Apart from it being optimistic... it was also like seeing the larger perspective. As if realizing the truth underneath.

So now in confirmity with the thought, I would also state that-

Man's Best Friend is - His SHADOW...?!

Doubtless, it is always there with you in light. Connected to you. Sometimes leading you, sometimes besides you & sometimes following you.
And in Dark....?
In dark, it is still there. It is all around you!
Yes, in dark it totally encompasses you, sourrounding you completely, protecting you.

Its only we who donot realize... plunged in a deeper darkness - of Ignorance.

You don't believe me ?
Switch on the light & see for yourselves.
Its there besides you - your Shadow.
Now switch off the lights .
Again try... try & see your shadow. Feel it. Its all around you.

Accept it. For it is embracing you.
As the light goes out... your shadow mingles with the shadow of everything around you. Reaching out to every concievable place, filling all voids.
As if forming a 'unified' guiding force
Making you see distinctly the place from where the light is seeping in.
Making you see, where you have to reach to.

Its like the enormous darkness spread in this universe, which lets you see that shining star, a distant goal... a flicker.

Darkness... as you see it, is not ypour enemy. Its not blinding you. It is not evil.

It is then when you face it, that you see the distant. You're spared from short-sightedness & are not blinded by the bright light of immediate vicinity.

In this 'darkness', you can spot your ultimate destinations - destiny, like stars in the sky.
Now you can locate the escape route through the dungeon we have built around us, following the light that is seeping in through the crack.
Now, with darkness around you... you are in charge, of sheding the ligt where you want to... to discover the path.

It happens then... when you start seeing darkness, a congreation of yours and many more Shadows, as your companion, your guide... your friend - Best Friend.
