Love and Desire, It.

Apr 18, 2012 01:36

Hello, LJ. It has been a while, ne?

Throughout, we've seen losses, deaths, violence... basically general chaos and mayhem. But there are also life, joy, love and desire.

Has it been 100 years since the Titanic sinking? My, how time flies...

The Avengers are arising, the Bat trilogy draweth to a close (hannoth le, Nolan) and our Bilbo will now tell his own adventures of his youth. And it may or may not be another 8 months to the end of the world.

I'm re-browsing through It again, finding whatever memory of the novel I fancy to read each particular night, and am once again reminded why I was willing to suffer the fear of its TV series/movies/whatever when I was just 10/11 years old. Also why I spent a month after lights out, reading via lights from my dorm corridor at 13, even though I knew little of American idioms and slangs and lifestyle. It was worth reading over -- just as almost every book I own is worth reading over.

In the end, everyone has Love and Desire. It's entirely up to us (by the grace of the Above) on what to do about them.

Well, hope I shall continue with Life. Be brave, be true, stand.
