“There is no Mystery so great as Misery.“
So short? Yes, but it's
based upon so many paragraphs that I ave read from Hugo's Les
Miserables. It seems that I haven't gotten over the thing yet, right?
Yes, I haven't. Hugo seems to find satisfaction in describing every
facet of human suffering – political instability, poverty, family
problem, world's system, name them all. And at the end of these
descriptions, I come to the point where everything becomes blurred,
where the world is a sphere with no way out. Truly, misery becomes a
great mystery. How to solve everything? Hugo doesn't answer that
question satisfactorily. Only God knows exactly what to be done with
all these things happening in the world.
Now I am neglecting my
responsibility as a good quoter. This week's quote is taken from
Oscar Wilde's short story – heartbreaking short story – “The
Happy Prince”, which is not so happy. The Prince has been
anonymously giving nearly everything he has to the people in the
town, but he is eager to give more and more. So he asks the swallow
his friend to tell him how's the town folk doing rather than telling
beautiful stories from all around the world.
I think misery becomes
so mysterious because most of those who suffer do not really know the
why they suffer and how they can get out of their suffering. Another
reason, misery is also, as stated above, something very hard to
solve. And aren't mysteries things hard to solve?
