It is better not to fall in love with your favorite writers

It is dangerous to fall in love in the early age. There is a risk of fearing being belong to someone for forever; and this would restrict an individual freedom; he or she might have to relinquish his or her life goal. Of course, this also has to do with an individual whether he or she could manage a way to achieve his or her life goal while having settle down with a life partner.

It is the same as being a life of artistry, embracing the concept of not totally belong. The idea of belonging is a sense of comfort, living with hegemonic culture to fit in the propaganda. This is comfortable, not challenging the cultural discourse, simply not to think too much. Even though I can feel there is a comfortableness wanting to belong, my brain still could not buy this kind of shit. This is because there are so many intellectual and cultural colors appearing on my not perceiving the one way of thinking. The psychologies would diagnose this as cultural homeless symptom.

This is the same thing as some of readers or academics saying their favorite authors. It is an intellectual trap. Falling in love with an author’s works, is getting brainwashed by the propaganda. When you fall in love, you would invest lots of energy trying to defend the relationship that you have invested. The eagerness wanting to defend that value, indicating the emotional values, not with the straight logical reasons. It is great to see Fyodor Dostoevsky, Leo Tolstoy, Jane Austen, George Orwell, and the other famous writers. Yes, they have contributed the greatness for our human race.

But, we should not continue to get haunted by the past term. It is important to steal their works like an artist. Then, looking forward to write something that comes from your singularity.
