Writers are not alone

A writer is a traveller, an observer and maybe, one of the biggest lairs in the world. But his lies are in fact objective representation of the facts and truths of the society. He lies so that people rejoice on the stories, plots, and characters--good, bad, cunning, villainous, apathetic, sympathetic, daring, timid, pervert, etc. While he strives to render company to his lonely readers by creating imaginary human beings identical to humans, he often lives a lonely life. Perhaps this is the reason a writer's job is often regarded as a lonely pursuit, a passion driven by the desire to dream and dream beyond limits.

As long as he writes, he imagines, dreams and creates worlds--similar or dissimilar--to the one we inhabit. However, it's a third person point of view about a writer or an author that he lives a lonely life. He, however, rejoices the best company around, of imaginary characters and their concocted, exotic actions. Average humans are deprived of the pleasures of a writer's thoughtful mind. Believe me I would not consider authors less than gods. Like god has the power to create and destroy his people, an author has the power to create and destroy the characters.

Writers learn as they move about, but it's wrong to assume they are alone. They have company which is beyond the understanding of normal human beings.
