Fantasy vs Reality behind Blogging.

The concept of Blogging has been a great fascination to me since the time I got to know about blogging. The various reasons behind blogging kind of made me think many times before I should even write one post to my blog. However, I was clear in my intentions behind blogging and that's the reason your are reading this post.

The fantasy:

I am a person who loves to lead my life in dreams, the way I wanted it to be and not the way it is in now to me. I think a lot metaphysically in order to come to a conclusion about several issues of life and its fancies. The fantasies have always lured me a lot than reality as reality is very hard to accept. This extreme affinity towards fantasy is one of the strong reasons for me to write a blog with all that I wish I could be, whereas I am not. There is a link between fantasy and metaphysics.

A person goes to a metaphysical state of mind only when he/she is not contented with actual reality.

Metaphysics is just an offshoot of fantasy. If you had read 'Veronica decides to die,' you would fully agree to my views on fantasy. You got to be a MAD person to enjoy life the way you want it to be as an insane person does not have any rules or regulations for his behavior. So, under the pretext of being mentally ill or insane, you can be true self. But, this behavior is socially not approved and that is the reason you tend to lead a life in imagination.

Blogging is one way to express your latent fantasies that you like to pursue in life. It showcases one's pent up and unsatisfied feelings. Its satiates the ego of a thirst mind seeking ways to sooth itself from pain and anguish.

The Reality:

Real life is a diametric opposite of the lures of fantasy. From a personal point in view, life has taught me harsh lessons. This remains me of an old saying that 'Life is a teacher that teaches you how to enjoy it.'

while I pay so much importance to fantasy, I should also pay importance to the source of Fantasy which is reality.

What we want to hide and not project about ourselves as well as unfullfilled desires are manifest in fantasies.

I see it as a creative process which shapes ( you can argue for or against this) in forming ideas of the Self.

And if you are lucky enough to embrace it and understand it, you move in the direction of formulating an identity of yourself, that is unique and is your own.
