The meaning of writing to me

 

 

Recently I saw the video, Sebasi of Kim Yeong-ha, a novelist, <The writing of self-emancipation> and there are somethings I sympathized with. According to him, writing is the ultimate freedom, dignity and power allowed to man. No one can hold cheap writers. Human beings who are deprived of everything, people who are oppressed can also write, then the human being is alive and dignity itself.

Now I myself publish books and write through blogs. I like writing whether I write well or not. Sometimes I am worrying about that this may be an indication of intellectual vanity, and that I may be revealing myself too much. But all those worries do not overwhelm the sense of emancipation and achievement after writing. Sometimes I feel the sense of pleasure by expressing what I can not express face to face, and I get vicarious satisfaction by expressing the unfairness of the reality indirectly. Sometimes I feel joyful when I can express the oppressive experience with a vocabulary that I do not know where in me. Sometimes, I feel intellectual fullness when I meet a writing of a great classical writer and expresse it in my writing and I can throw a criticism word to it.

So I like to write and I like me who can write.

However, according to the average life expectancy by occupation, religious people are number one and writers are the last. Writing makes us get the sense of accomplishment and liberation, but all writer’s soul and might has entered into it. After completing a short article, I sometimes feel a lot of fatigue. So the writer's life may be short. However, the writer has no retirement and no retiring age limit. It is the freest profession in the world.

Writing is a wonderful challenge. And It is a thankfulness that there are persons who read my writings. It is a blessing to have someone who takes time to read my manuscripts in times of information full of garbage, and in the age of speed. So how good a famous bestseller is! But he should be responsible for his writing.

I am always trying to build something in me to want to write somethings that liberate me. This alone make me feel proud of my life.
