Last time I was nonsensing about money as something we want and how does it affect the plot. Today I’ll finish with beauty and talent.

WE’RE THE BEASTS

Second shortcoming. Beauty. We’re obsessed with it. We can have actors growing old naturally and all the rant; but we still hold such things as the most beautiful Forbes people, don’t we? We watch k dramas based upon the plot (notice that by saying that the plot is only the beautiful actors you’re confessing the only worth in then is beauty… ).

Any time I find myself a new wrinkle I get a new one worrying about how I looked two years ago. Contrasted upon the biology of the sexually attractive yell of: «fertile» given away by symmetry and secondary sexual features such as booty, cleavage and waist or a nice six choco pack. In a nutshell, I’m hideous! [Passably average, I’m really not that bad].

Hencefore, I demand my daily dose of lanky dreamy bodies to calm my insecurities and dream on something I’ll never posses (and gets me blue from time to time). Ah, MY asexuality doesn’t make me immune to aesthetical attraction (some asexuals do not even feel aesthetic attraction to human bodies so mind this), it only omits the «I’d like to be fucked by this chap or I’d like to fuck this person» switch…

SOMETHING YOU DO IS CLEARLY GENIAL?

Talent. Talent requires the stomach to stop listening when someone’s telling you all your cousin’s own a car and retirement plans[1] (alert alert, emotional vampire on sigh) whilst you play writer doing miscellaneous jobs or… none.

Nonetheless the gall to keep doing something for enough time for someone to notice (as Asimov said), is not that easy to come upon. Thus, talent is something we worship as magical.

It is not magical. But it requires shameless and luck. Not everyone has the luck. And not everyone is shameless enough. Plus, it takes hard work. I’m a lazy one.  Thus I’m not as talented as someone who places their rear 8 hours a day down to write.

In conclusion, talent is the easiest of the three [because it doesn’t depend on luck]. But we all would like to bask in the sunlight of beauty, money and… talent. And we might pay to be told such tales.

Telling a different tale, it is time to have fun writing. Pasto kalo.

And the following three are:
Beauty
Money
Talent

NON RELATABLE

Do you remember… No, you might not since this could be the very first time you’re reading me nonsensing.

Some time ago, some love novel or feminine literature went garbage bin since it wasn’t relatable to, at all. The main character? A 19 y.o. genius girl who becomes a mental slightly bent billionaire’s shrink.  Lodging including in his house.

Me… Middle aged, not stupid but not a MENSA member and definitely average (except for the asexuality). Thus… But last day (by the time of the original entry indeed), I uncovered the Venus martian alien conspiracy!

AMBITION AND REALITY

What makes such writing successful is what Min Ye Rin in Perfum or Parfum’s (페픔) chapter 13th declares in his lines: not many of us will happen to come upon the experience.

Humans, we are animals who love keeping each other within the same communal misery frame[1] We love movies portraying expensive cars… (How much is a Bentley? Would an absent minded me ask… —when it is more probable I have an idea on how much a Shire horse costs); being vandalized, destroyed, stolen. Did anyone call the insurance company?

James Bond. We love him traveling first class and calling on all those expensive places we only dream with going to (I only dream going to the Transiberian train) and we wouldn’t being able to go after saving all our life.

Right. If it is all about entering a house ceiling higher than 1.9 m and a bathroom two Paris apartments size… No doubt it is something very few of us will have. That for those with capitalism values, at least. I like the birds coming to the evergreen and making a ruckus more than Hilton hotel logos in my gowns. I don’t even have any gown.

TO BE CONTINUED
