"Death's going to kiss me"
To my greatest joy, i found interview of Paulo Coelho in today's Indian Express. How come some people get such a good expression. Leave alone his novels, his interview even can fill anybody with a vigour. Such thing, as i feel can come only after one has attained himself. Attaining one's ownself may seem to be an oxymoron but it is true that most of the time what we do or try to do is not for our real self. It is generally for an image of us we have been taught to conjure for us.
I can't help but quoting some of the interview lines. Though i am giving a link to that interview i want these words to be written on my blog.
• Does death fascinate you?
Not fascinate, but I am conscious of dying. Most people think only the neighbour dies, not them, you know. From the moment you know you are going to die, you respect every single moment in your life. We are walking this stretch, you have your questions, I have my answers. But I am not only answering you, I am trying to give my best because I know my responsibility as a human being,
because I know death is there.
Wow!!
"I would say there is only one thing I really treasure in a human being. You can have your fears, you can have your moments of doubt, but you can never be a coward. You have to face your fears, you have to overcome your moments of doubt, you have to believe that if you look for it there is always a solution. If you really want something, the whole universe is going to conspire to help you. But to do that, you have to be brave. Brave enough to fight for things that are meaningful to you. Not meaningful to A, B or C, but to you."
