Human to Legend?

"Amazon purchases JK's Book of 5 Fairy tales for 4 mil dollars...."

4 million dollar story on a beetle hmmmm.... an howler of a news title for all the Potter fans out there indeed, Amazon is further creating more magic for the simple handwritten book by announcing the JK's intention of not publishing this one but would rather want Amazon to keep it under tight security. Handled like an ancient bible, its kept within a metal casing, rested comfortably above a bed of sponges while its pages are flipped by someone wearing a glove. It doesn't hurt to feel even more magical by seeing the two hawk-eyed security guards standing in the background guarding it... probably all resisting a peek at the book or thinking: if only i can get this to ebay.....

I did say wow too when i watched this news some moments ago. Of course, JK is a human as well with wishes for her own privacy and plans for her own creations, it is just the way humans react to her work that is an interesting part of life. JK is not the only one to be air lifted into a legendary status, other famed authors, poets bla bla (anyone famous that writes something down) seemingly written their manuscripts in a special ink formula infused with gold, platinum and oil.

It always intrigues me on how things are priced in our world based on name and fame. Pricing is probably one of the unfair issues in our day, with people working as hard that do not get paid as much as some other's simple flick of a pen. The list goes on, and human obsession has always been a decisive factor on good and bad..

Maybe it is okay for people to show appreciation to their favorite artists this way, but what when we apply all these to government policies and ultimately the concept of democracy? Are words weighted or priced if u like so evenly after all? A typical example of the turmoil back home would be the voice of our ex- Prime Minister and our current Prime Minister.... what is democracy when words are weighted and the term self expression sounds more like a command to enough people to stir a show? ... boringly interesting.

It is just funny when we observe how things work ... not to say i have the right to judge but i can't help noticing the fact that we live our lifes in irony. Who is there to ensure that every step ahead is an equal footing for everyone anyway? Still, there is no place to withdraw and shiver. Perhaps its also another part of the human in us to strife for the magic ink of gold, platinum and oil, and to rise from normal... to legend.

Another irony? haha, I do not know why the sudden urge to blog about this if not just to keep this place alive again. Many thoughts have rigged my poor brain during this long period between my posts ... troubling times and good times alike. Just like everything that is real, life is far from being a dream, but i guess i have again learnt a bit on digesting this bitter bit, perhaps just to see if i can sign million dollar autographs some day, with gold, platinum and oil lol.
