If I think about it, there can be so many stories that we can read and write. They can be stories of someone's life , a part of life or just a phase.
There are so many things we can write about on Earth; there are so many things happening every second that there are not enough writers to write about ,and what about the writer who would write for them.
And if earth is short for them , they start creating new worlds ,new realities and even new lifes just to write.
Is the urge to write is so great that they spend such a large amount of their time just writing someone's life that doesn't even exist?
And human minds are reading it like they have to know about someone's life who started living in front of them , whose inner monologue is just their pov of seeing the world,whose actions make the real living people smile,laugh,cringe,sad and even cry… i mean like how can you justify crying for fucking words.
But again an idiot philosopher had once said "Words are the most deadliest weapon".
'HOH' where am i going , let's get back to the topic.
A Life in a Story what does this mean?
Maybe a story of a person from his birth to death ; but between his birth and death there could be many stories and between those stories there could be many lives .
So why does an author write of only a specific part of the life, like starting with a prologue then some starting arcs, some middle arcs, an epic ending and then an epilogue. Is this a life or is this just a story?
Many say many emotions can't be described through words and many things can't be said like a shy story , some writers can't write romance properly , some get stuck in fights, some ask for advice in daily life interactions . So is this truly a life when we can't even see this many things, like we don't even know what they would do after the epilogue .
So we all are collectively agreeing right that a story is not a life , it is missing just so many things to be called a life. A life was given to us by God or by an eukaryotic organism which contains just too many things to be written in a story .
Surely there are going to so many great minds who are going to say that they can write a person's complete life in a story starting from his birth to his first step to his first games to his first class to his first crush to his fight to his first adventure to his first love to his first marriage to his first child to his grandchildren to his death.
Yeah I mean if you have that much patience to write about some fictional character's life you can write that ,but… but what about his second breathe what about his second step what about his second game what about his second crush what about every single thing that he did twice; you are not going to ignore that , right?
So for now, a story is just a cut out made part of someone's life.
So what really is 'A Life in a Story"?
We got the answer to what a story is 'a cut out made part of someone's life' but now the main question is " What is Life"?
I really don't know how to answer this question because life is just…just different for everyone; yes every single human being has their unique meaning to life for someone getting married and having a lovely family is life , for others getting old and living their fullest is life , to some eating their favourite food and living every day is their last is life , or to some just each passing day is life and you know the most fascinating thing even their meaning to life is changing every second.
So how do you expect me to answer that , and how can I tell you what is a life in a story?
But I just said everyone has their own unique version of life so let's solve this problem in the unique way… So what is the meaning of life for me?
You know i have thought the answer before writing that for me life is just stories about my own life like how in one chapter of my life i want to reach 1st rank in class in another i want to have a lovely partner in some chapters i want to be happy; happy enough to just remember that i am living nothing more … but while writing i realized what about the stories of those chapters which had sad endings , where i reach 2nd , where i fell from the bicycle , where i cried are those not my life?
So for me, "Life is a story" .
Yeah, surely it is just some cut out made part of my own life but it contains those things that without them I would not be me .
