Mention the author

Ayt27:
Oh! Really, you think so?
Well then how about we delve into the pleasures your fantasy and we check in maybe a fresh pair of objective eyes
may spot the loophole.

Your turn to do the typing

Ayt27:
Some things are sacred, a person's innermost and usually selfish desires is one of them.

Ayt27:
Fantasies , dreams, thoughts, imagination, goals, ambitions, wishes are really all similar Hathor5. Desire is the trade name of the firm

Ayt27:
It's simply day-dreaming, allowing one's thoughts to live the life, the man would truly want to live where everything is perfect there only that it's in his imagination, which ultimately doesn't make it real. Which makes it a fantasy

The boundlessness of the imagination gives a man the ability to joy in his perfect world, a secret pleasure, to also hope on the outside that someday his outside world may resemble that of his imagination and that alone gives him hope, strength to live and fight for another day. Which makes the man need the fantasy to keep alive the hope.

The man fantasizes about the thing he desires the most.

If a man does not allow himself delve into the pleasures of fantasy, the hope dies, when hope dies the man is lost . If a man is lost, he has nothing to live for and everything comes crashing down.

The man who would not allow himself delve into the pleasures of fantasy, I think is a man who has known great pain.

The reason a man will not delve into that pleasure is because he has experienced his fantasy in the real (outside) world and it was taken from him. No man will give up his fantasy playing out in the real world, except it was taken from him, as days turn into weeks he begins to see he can't get what he has lost back and will not have that which his figment will provide, he then begins to goes through the five stages of grief, when he gets to the last stage acceptance at that point he has lost hope, he becomes a realist, harbours some resentment which makes him cynical and from there it's only a matter of time before everything crashes but don't forget the pain of losing the real life pleasures of what he held so dearly was what led to the man's life crashing. Hence the quote above

I hope you've understood more why I sent you the PM? Plus I had thought the other quote

"The graceful expressive states of life little pleasures is art" would have resonated with you more,

Think about it, it could be something as simple as laying your bed with a clean bedsheet and when you are done you don't want to lie on it because it's just looks beautiful or maybe the dressing of a cooked meal to take a picture of showing it in its best light.

Art is more than a brush into a paint unto a canvass. Art to me is the stirring of emotions in appreciation to the beauty of an action or a thing, Art is the revelation of beauty.

"The graceful expressive states of life little pleasures is art", the little pleasures is art because those little pleasures are beautiful.

Ayt27:
Every man must delve into the pleasures of fantasy, either with the Lord or with the world. If he doesn't then that's a man who has started to lose hope, and a man who has lost hope has lost.

Ayt27:
Your PM was a one-time answer, it was a bit long and somewhat psychoanalysed as to why I had gone down the path of the author and not the characters.

Of course, this is the place for such.

FireRain:
Hullo Hathor5, I am currently reading The Girl On The Train by Paula Hawkins, it is a thriller and very interesting filled with suspense.

Since the lockdown started, I was able to read all books on Jack Reacher- Lee Child's character, I have two books left to read from Stephen King, I have flashed through Agatha Christie books too

I tried David Baldacci but find him not as entertaining as Lee Child, Forsythe, Tom Clancy with the exception of Absolute Truth written by him(very compelling story)

If anyone needs a website to get books including African Authors, let me know.

Thank you guys.Let's keep the reading light burning

Oops, I recommend The Secret Lives of Baba Segi's Wives by Lola Shoneiye, I give it 10/10

Ayt27:
I'll take you through a pleasant mental journey I'll send my reply through a pm, after you are done reading it you'll understand it's exactly what Wilde did, what Basil did and what Dorian did and why I have done it too.

I'll take the deconstructive approach too, Sarah Kane was right the about taking author's approach it shows that depression, ultimately it's just a book albeit a very good one.
