Benjamin did not say it but he would have agreed

The man lying down so comfortably in the picture is a famous writer. His works impacted through The Faust, where a man sells his soul to the devil. The book became a popular reference for horror and fantasy writers and according to many is the source of a lot of misconceptions about the human soul.

The 'Sorrows of Young Werther' is another one of his famous works and portrays a man who destroys his life because of extreme and unthoughtful acts.

Notwithstanding the fact that the words attributed to Benjamin Franklin

"We are all born ignorant but one must work hard to remain stupid."

is now unclaimed, a brief study on Benjamin's public life and work shows he did not stand fools and dedicated himself to fighting for his beliefs.

What the quotes have in common with Goethe's two books is they teach based on reality.

We are not born ready to do the right things, but life is a great study, teaching through experience. You just need to pay attention to the lessons. More so when Freud himself used Goethe's words, quoting him frequently and not only taking inspiration from his work but also making use of many of his lines.

Degrees do not make wisdom but living does if you are open to it. Investing yourself in checking out facts, learning from previous mistakes will make you wiser. And for that, I leave you with Proverbs of Salomon 12:1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid.

Trust me life can correct and guide. You just need to accept it.

Stupidity does not become them

There is no doubt Amazon.com became the most significant seller of books and ebooks these days. The reason is simple. Traditional Publishing houses stopped investing in new talents. One Professor told so to two of his students with a soul-crushing clarity. Publishing Houses got lazy because social media became the most impressive tool to detect influencers and fame. Having This plethora of free information they did not need to mine for new authors. They simply used it to see who was on top and then accept those people’s pitch. Easy but deadly. The publishers defend themselves saying the market is hard. It changed too fast. The computer became more important than books. People don’t read as much. Youth doesn’t want books but video games. And lots of other ridiculous excuses. Amazon used the opportunity with cunning, creating Kindle self-publishing and Create Space, and opening possibilities to the new talents the publishers threw away. The giant could provide content for her-...

Help! I'm Stuck! #1

I feel you, sister, brother. Every technique fails one day. The writer's blank is not a figment of the imagination. I want to reveal some practical ways to get over it. However, because it has many causes, I'm writing a series on the theme. For that, I need to 'diagnose' your situation. Case #1: Your story seems to be running in circles. The sad answer, it probably is. Usually, it happens because you are not so sure about the end game. Do you want it to be for fun reading or to make people think? Psychological plots use this running in circles quite well. Because one of the main dramas in life is the lack of focus. So, it is not always a bad thing. Just make clear the emotions of the characters are inside the text. Show him/her drumming fingers, pulling hair, making repetitive movements for no reason. You get the picture. In nonfiction, some authors tell stories to convey a message. It's very effective. If you read the Bible you are familiar with the technique. J...
