Thank you for sharing this awesome thought. People take one word from poetry and starts analyzing the sentiment of a write. Whereas, poetry is to be comprehended in entirety to comprehend the underlying sentiment.
Thank you Amitav for your comment. And people often forget that poetry is personalized experience – they dismiss it even before giving it chance, because they too much try to understand instead to feel. People are afraid to feel – I can tell you that. It’s easier to say “I don’t like it” or “It’s too boring” instead to dive deep inside of them and look into their own truth.
That’s a brilliant statement. So true. Only the brave souls can feel and experience the truth. Not liking it or condemning a write is easier as such feelings makes one uncomfortable. Literature, according to me, should present philosophies which breaks stereotypes and prejudices.
