Aristotle’s Oedipus Rex

Introduction

Oedipus Rex is one of the groups of three plays by Sophocles known as Theban plays, since they relate to the destinies of the Theban family of Oedipus and his children. The other two plays of this group are Antigone and Oedipus at Colonus. However although the three plays are connected by theme and subject, they do not form a trilogy in the usual sense of the term. In English translation the play is generally known as Oedipus the King or King Oedipus, but Oedipus Rex, the Latin title, is the most popular. In Oedipus Rex, Sophocles leaves a major part of story outside the plot. He deals directly with only the last day of Oedipus rule over Thebes. We are to believe that Oedipus has been ruling happily over Thebes for about fifteen years. His personal life also has been a very happy one. He has four children by his wife, Jocasta. Infact, it appears that even a further happiness is in store for him, for after the death of Polybus he is to succeed him to the throne of Corinth also. However, all this happiness is illusory. It is revealed is a moment that, far from being the happiest of men, Oedipus is the most miserable of them. Instead of being the intelligent solver of riddles, which he himself and as well as his subjects believe him to be, he is ignorant even of his identity and parentage. In ignorance he has killed his father and married his mother. Believing himself the Corinthian prince, and trying to evade the fate which the Oracle has predicted for him, he actually runs into its clutches. He becomes a dire example of the ignorance and helplessness of man in the face of destiny, although in one sense Oedipus in Sophocles play, is ironically the master of the fate at every stage, and whatever happens the play does so at his own initiative. Oedipus Rex is a marvel; it is rich in beauty and complexity of theme and symbolism. It is the most fascinating Greek tragedy which elaborates,’ Man is a mere puppet in the hands of fate’. There are various standpoints for looking at the theme of the play. It may be considered as a play enacting the theme of blindness to fate, insecurity of revealing realities, Being ignorant the rashness, knowing the truth as tragic and illusoriness of human happiness. The inadequacy of human intelligence in resolving the riddles of destiny may also be considered one of the major voice of the play. The play also brings out the tragedy as well as the dignity of human determination and will power. Critics have found all sorts of symbols in the play, the most famous such interpretation being that of Freud, who has named a complex after Oedipus viz. the Oedipus-complex. This play may also be looked upon as an allegory—that if one tries to avoid one’s fate, one would only aiding and hastening it. Thus, Oedipus Rex is a perfect tragedy because of its harmonious blending of Character and Fate.

Aristotle’s definition of tragedy and the play King Oedipus

Aristotle first defines tragedy in his poetics around 330 BC, and all subsequent forms of tragic events have been influenced by his concepts. According to Aristotle, “Tragedy, then, is an imitation of a noble and complete action, having the proper magnitude; it employs language that has been artistically enhanced . . . ; it is presented in dramatic, not narrative form, and achieves, through the representation of pitiable and fearful incidents, the catharsis of such incidents” (chapter 6; Golden 11). Sophocles wrote “Oedipus the King” for the annual festival where playwrights competed for prizes. It was a major civic occasion, with attendance expected. Sophocles the writer is phenomenally good, especially considering his era. His writing is impressive with each phrase contributing to the whole. He is full of succinct observations on life. And despite the limits of the form, he often manages to make his characters seem like real individuals. The title of our play is often given in its Latin translation “Oedipus Rex”, rather than in its original Greek (“Oedipus Tyranneus”), since the Greek term for king is the English “tyrant” which means a monarch who rules without the consent of the people. There is a deep philosophic content at the back of Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex. It seems through this play he advises that man must concern himself with his own actions and remains within his appointed sphere in life. He must not presume to equal the gods in any respect (as Greek Myth revolves around gods, and Oedipus is also a mythical play as well). He seems to hold out moderation as a great virtue. Excessive desire even for such a good things as knowledge angers the gods, who then bring about the man’s ruin through his own overweening pride and conceit. To Sophocles every deed has its ultimate consequences, which no one can escape. The ways of gods are mysterious and no humans being must seek to prey into them. Along with leading a morally unblamable life, one must show the proper reverence for the gods as well as for the various institutions and practices of religion.

Oedipus as Tragic Hero

Oedipus fulfills the function of a tragedy, and arouses fear and pity in the highest degree. But unfortunately a modern reader, coming to the classic drama not entirely for the purpose of enjoyment, will not always surrender himself to the emotional effect. He is correct to worry about Greek fatalism and the justice of the downfall of Oedipus, and, finding no satisfactory solution for these difficulties, loses half the pleasure that the drama was intended to produce. Oedipus is superhuman, yet the play possesses universality. Parricide and incest are not common actions, yet the delusion of happiness, and committing of unwitting crimes is a universal tragic theme. Oedipus is a symbol of a man, who is elated by good fortune, only to be disappointed all the more when that good fortune gives place to disaster as stated in play by chorus:

‘’All the generations of mortal man add up to nothing!

Show me the man whose happiness was anything more than illusion

Followed by disillusion.

Here is the instance, here is Oedipus, here is the reason

Why I will call no mortal creature happy.”

According to Aristotle the tragic hero must be a person of noble birth and prosperity whose misfortune results, not from depravity or vice but from hamartia. The last word has translated as error of judgment by most critics but strongly interpreted as tragic flaw. Oedipus is clearly intermediate kind of person stipulated by Aristotle, and he is in enjoyment of great happiness and prosperity at the commencement of the story. However, it is difficult to say that his misfortune befalls him because of some flaw in his character, or some error of judgment committed by him. There is no doubt that his character has several flaws and that he does commit some error of judgment, but the question is whether these errors are the cause of his tragedy? Oedipus is no doubt rash, impatient, irritable and passionate. He is also very proud of his intelligence, and believes that he can find the answer to every problem. At more than one place he is also guilty of impious words. His treatment to Creon is far from fair, and he is unnecessarily harsh to Teiresias. Yet, if we take his tragedy to be the basic actions of incest and parricide, then these flaws and errors of Oedipus are quite irrelevant. On the other hand, it is Oedipus who proclaims a severe punishment for the murderer of Laius and also says that he will award the punishment even to himself, if he is the guilty person. It is by his words that Teiresias is angered and prophesies a severe punishment for the murderer of his father and the husband of his mother. Moreover, Oedipus provokes him further by making fun of his blindness and this lead Teiresias to predict that Oedipus also will become blind and will leave Thebes like a helpless beggar. Although the predictions do not bring about the actions mentioned in them,, yet they add to Oedipus suffering and humiliations. Or one may say that Oedipus commits the fundamental mistake of thinking himself equal to the gods and of being able to solve every problem. In that case the tragic flaw in Oedipus would become that of arrogance or hubris. His career changes from prosperity to terrible adversity, and he makes the terrible discovery that human knowledge is extremely limited and misleading.

Hubris or Destiny

‘’You cannot alter this. The gods themselves

Cannot undo it. It follows of necessity………..’’

In Sophocles tragedies human suffering visits the innocent as much as does the guilty, and he who suffers is, therefore, not automatically guilty. The poet has a tendency to sharpen the edge of suffering; he does note—especially not in his later works—accept it as a punishment or retribution; rather he emphasizes the innocence of the victim…. And despite this treatment, the poet still demands an acceptance of the hero suffering. And so we find in his works no testing theodicy, no investigation into the cause of suffering, but the conviction that suffering is inherent in human nature. Sophocles leaves little doubt that whatever there is a conflict between the human law and the divine; it is divine law which deserves to be observed.

‘’Of happiness the crown

And chiefest part

Is wisdom, and to hold

The gods in awe.

This is the law

That seeing the stricken heart

Of pride brought down,

We learn when we are old.’’

Chance is the major tooling in the plot of Greek Mythological plays. Fate is itself the major control of characters in any case. Greeks believes that Destiny is preplanned and the writing by the deities and the divine law so powerful that bestow, enhance and control all the metaphysical and cosmological functions. As William Shakespeare portrays in such words, the same religious and mythical divine theory:

‘As flies to the wonton boys,

Are we to the gods?

They kill us for their sport.’’

This is the most debatable point and in few words of expression it could not be easy to capture the whole theory and the concepts. A lot of literature has been vindicated and generated on this topic, yet there is so many space to be filled. Consequently, Oedipus Rex represents FATE as a controlling power as a strong theme, divinity and divine power in highest stature and ruling over the free will. One of the main theme of this play is FATE or FREE WILL. So far in Greek mythical play Fate wins over the free will. Fate cannot be over write by gods and not even can erase, which gives birth to the tragedy and this what happens to the ideal tragic hero Oedipus. Therefore Oedipus Rex is also recognized as tragedy of fate.

Paradox in the play

Oedipus Rex is undoubtedly, a play which defines contradictions. The speech clashes, thought and verdict clashes. Conflicts regarding appearance and truth is firmly and strongly culcated as a theme in the play. The contradiction arises when Teiresias confronts Oedipus and the dialogue in exchange reveals the truth from one side and ignorance from another. The reality beyond curtains bring forth by the persistent nature of Oedipus. Sophocles is genius enough to make contrast of fate and free will by clothing them as characters and the main theme of the play. Compare and contrast, contradiction and conflict and this has been pictured through the characters and their speech. Oedipus and Jocasta represent the image of hidden contradiction, where as their relation based on sympathy. Oedipus and Laius indirectly, So far the paradox is the one of the major themes of the play which strengthen it as a tragedy and make it unforgettable over the centuries.

Relevance of Teiresias

Although Teiresias is a character in two of the three Theban plays of Sophocles, he is in reality a figure in Greek mythology. Teiresias was a Theban who was once changed into a woman for a time for the crime of killing the female of a pair of snakes. There two traditions about how he became blind. According to one of them Zeus and Hera asked him whether a man or a woman enjoyed sexual union more. Zeus had been insisting that women enjoyed it more, while Hera of the view that men received greater enjoyment. Teiresias supported the view of Zeus, as a result of which the jealous Hera struck him blind. Zeus compensated him for this misfortune by blessing him with a long life and conferring on him the gift of prophecy. According to another story he was stuck blind because he happened to watch Athena while she was bathing. In Oedipus Rex his role is more extensive, he is the one who is blind seer, though apparently blind but blessed with extraordinary sense of knowledge about future and its predictions:

‘’Student of mysteries,

Of all that’s taught and all that no man tells,

Secrets of Heaven and secrets of the earth’’

It is Creon who advises Oedipus to send for Teiresias and ask him to find some solution for the troubles of Thebes. Later the Chorus also give him the same advice and Oedipus replies that he has already done so. It appears, however that Teiresias is not very eager to appear before the king. Teiresias is a symbolic and contrasted figure in the play. The contrast between the outward magnificence and inward blindness of Oedipus and the outward blindness and inward sight of the prophet is one of the given attributes of the scene and Sophocles does not waste this natural opportunity. Oedipus taunts Teiresias with his blindness, saying that he has ‘eyes for profit only, blindness in his craft.’ Teiresias’ answer is a magnificent consummation of this play on sight and blindness. Teiresias retorts, ‘’you have your sight, but you do not see in what evil you are.’’ His speeches, thoroughly in the play are significant and revealing. He is the representative of deep conscience spokesman in front of Oedipus for his Fate and Character’s hamartia. Teiresias is representative of truth and reality and the one who removes the cover of illusionary curtain of happiness and glory of Oedipus. So far Teiresias is the one who pinpoints the error of judgment and his character is the vital, powerful and central one in the climax and the plotting of the play.

Significance of Jocasta character

The characteristics of Jocasta that comes into play are mostly those of a wife and a queen but we are still able to forum some impression of her qualities as a woman. She seems to be quite in contrast with the fiery impetuosity of Oedipus for she is mild, moderate and cool –headed. This we see best of all when she rebukes Oedipus and Creon for indulging in personal quarrels at a time when the city is afflicted with a calamity. She deals with the two disputants as though they were small children and is able to restore calm and peace. She always keeps her personal emotions in check, expect at the end when she cries hysterically, calling upon the dead Lauis We come accorss to have the significance information about Jocasta also by the retrospect of the events that took place in the time of Laius. It seems probable that Jocasta played the same role of comforter with Laius which she plays now in the case of Oedipus. It was she who gave the child Oedipus to the shepherd so that he should leave it on the mountain to die of exposure. This seems the heartlessness of a mother but then what was at stake was the life of her husband and king, and for that all other considerations had to take second place. She was easy to access and considerate to her servants, for she at once agreed to the plea of the shepherd that he should be sent away from Thebes into the countryside. However, she seems to be capable of self-effacement. When a hard fate compels her to take another husband soon after the news of the death of Laius, she seems to have submitted tamely. Not once, it appears, has she talked to Oedipus about her first husband. We do not know to what extent Jocasta’s lack of reverence towards the gods reflects her real nature and to what extent it is a pose assumed in order to calm down her husband’s fears. Perhaps there is a little of both these considerations involved in her attitude. In her words it is chance and not the will of gods, which rules human life and she seeks to convert her husband also to this view which is a direct contradiction of Greek religion and morality:‘’Fear? What has a man to do with fear?

Chance rules our lives, and the future is all unknown.

Best live as best we may, from day to day.

Nor need this mother-marrying frighten you;

Many a man has dreamt as much. Such things

Must be forgotten, if life is to endured.’’

Jocasta is the central and important character, whose significance is obvious because of all the character revolves around her directly or indirectly. She is pathetic as well after revealing the reality and the shame of that reality endowed nothing but his guilt to death in shape of suicide.

Modern day relevance of this play

Many aspects of the modern conception of the tragedy owe their origin to Sophocles. It was he who made one important character the central figure (protagonist) and the focus of attention in ever tragedy. As Aristotle points out, it was Sophocles who constructed his plots in such a way as to make reversal and recognition their integral part. The characteristics feeling inspired by the tragedies of Sophocles is that of respect for human life and values and pity for those who fall a victim to their errors or the machinations of fate. The balance between character and fate is very well maintained by Sophocles. The dialogues in Sophocles are also more life time than is the case in the play of Aeschylus. Sophocles philosophy seems to have pondered deeply over the questions which concern man’s place in the universe, as well as the role and destiny of the individual in society by every Era of man. His plays best embody the essence of Greek life and culture at one of the highest points in its history. After Sophocles all other famous dramatists used the same tolls such as Marlowe’s’ Dr.Faustas’ and number tragic writing of Shakespeare, King Liar, Macbeth, Othello, Hamlet and winter’s Tale. In modern Era many playwrights believes in the same structure and they follow the pattern to be successful on the ground of tragedy.

Conclusion

Undoubtedly Oedipus Rex is the great tragedy of Appearance and reality, of unconscious to conscience crime, Pride of a king to pathos of a mere man, of character and fate, of truth of ignorance and reality of knowing.  Oedipus Rex in not only the greatest play of Sophocles but also the greatest Greek play. Accordingly to many critics it is the greatest play ever written. Aristotle in the Poetics gives very high praise to this play. It is also credited with possessing one of the three best executed plots in all drama. In this play Sophocles performs the miracle of creating terrible suspense through events the outcome of which is known to the readers beforehand. The reversal and the recognition in this play arise out of the play itself. It is very well integrated play, no part of which can either be transposed or left out. It can also be regarded as first detective story in literature. Its poetry, especially in the lyrical odes, possesses a great beauty and haunting power. There would be no exaggeration in saying that Oedipus Rex in one of the glories of Western Literature. To sum up the play it is an ideal tragedy which underlines the frailty of human happiness and prosperity by exposing that reality and truth are bitterest in mode of destiny if it holds harshness for the character.

The days are days the pass on, the bring the light and move on same routine……….That’s our feelings, emotions, sentiments and thinking how we access, how we act and so far how we understand our own fate it carries light, darkness, sight, insight all above the way ………….

 

Tranquility

Tranquility is a kind of quality, is the quality or state of being tranquil; calmness; serenity…..it does come from outside of nature world but when it comes from inside it is called ‘Inner Peace’. When it’s been achieved all achieved, logic of sane over that is ‘’Heaven Soul’’.

The word tranquility appears in numerous texts ranging from the religious writings of Buddhism, where the term passaddhi refers to tranquility of the body, thoughts and consciousness on the path to enlightenment, to an assortment of policy and planning guidance documents, where interpretation of the word is typically linked to engagement with the natural environment.

Outer world is a museum or a place where one can sustain the knowing by interacting the course of time with the physical realities which are mostly harsh, the experiences what humans gain through the circumstances are sometimes so crunchy that crush and crack the inner world of emotions of humans, in such course it is hard to maintain the psychological imbalances…..

The strongest man cannot surely bear the accident of his beloved family to be crushed down and such deaths never are owned to such person because his psychology may stuck to the same passage of time ………The grief which caused by accidents or by losing any keen beloved desire would cause break down…………. Emotional break downs are always killing ……

Losing any keen desire is next to death, it is reality that such grief causes such wounds that could never be healed or in case with the passage of time if they could the hurt remains the same. It is awkward to say in such timings to have patience because at that time one could be patient rather than having this keen ability of patience, however this is the rule of the fate and this worldly world that happenings are obvious and sudden ……..

Inner peace is not only two words but they are fundamentally the highest of qualities and very rare knowing of knowing, the people who belongs to the physical arts are mostly known of the fact they tried hard to get this inner phenomena, and when they reached over it they finally succeed in achieving what their art demands…………..

This concept of peace gaining of a one’s soul is not that easy, this need highest of perception that could reach where the soul belongs, in this world every act is possible …….for body having limits but for soul no limits ……..soul can achieve the limitless access where it could be raised higher as unthinkable…………

Nature, purity, modesty, soundless places are the source to advance body and soul’s measures in the outstanding course of peace……….The actions of goodness the exercises based on helping others also cause inner peace, be the savior and be safe being in all consequences brings inner peace………….Love of humanity harmonized all other ways of life is cause inner peace and tranquility……….

The life which is based on cruelty, unlovable acts, unloyal and immoral activities snatch tranquility and the quality to establish peace in human and every creature’s breathing parallels. The world is reverting and converting, the good is replaced as evil, humanity replaced as brutality, living beings replaced as machines and the mechanical satellites’ are more worthy of tracing and tracking the purposes purposelessly…….

The world is roaming through these mechanical raying objects, through these satellites, through these unseen gadgets……… All these are scientific miracles but they are somewhat ruining the beauty, love, peace and tranquility of the world and its simplicity which is most desirable for human perception.

Conceptually, moderately, morally and naturally the concept of peace get from even from the tiny little feelings, such as tranquility has no language but yet speaks if in the morning the drop of rain halt on leave in the season of light and spring ………. It can be easily seen the eyes of innocent baby at the time of smile and playing, it can be feel peacefully when relations are warm and close, the nature can be seen truly by the mother’s instinctive power of nurturing, nursing, nourishing, convincing and beautifies the life top to toe from first breath to last breath……

So for us, the people who are sane but their sane acts are impelled to stay speechless because of time has given line to the Truth and no lines to lies ……….We travel or stay we live or die we can think and sustain our emotions to ourselves and we can only search tranquility in ordinary ways and even the little things are enough higher in stature to us …………

Nobody matter, no money worth in front of the priceless worth of instinctive spirits………..So if a millionaire all the richness before him but if health and happiness are out of ways all are futile and all are waste………..What matters is the inner peace and tranquility that brings life to the imagination and imagination into breathing life………..

The real richness is of sustained and contented soul not of the outer luxurious course…….The life lived with the peace is the worth living…………And the life lived for humanity and lilting the light for others, helping them and having tranquil soul and persuading others to be tranquil and worth knowing, worth living………………..

This happened once for all breathing being, this bubble of life, so far this bubble remains in air, though for short time live, breath and innovate the idea that spread tranquility, do not consider even a ordinary word little for this mission …………

Ethereal Being

‘Ethereal Being’ The word itself is suspicious and does not actually defines the motive behind, usually the meaning known to world are the part of encyclopedias but even than it deserves some more identical information to be stated in literature world because this is the most urge worth topic that has still the mystery falls dept ……………

Why Lord make trap for this ethereal being in pot of mud as character? Philosophy has one corner of knowledge that based on ethereal foundation …………..

Where anything is possible and everything has worth denying……… Ethereal being is a mystery………… Is real…….? Is it consciousness? Is it the soul? Is this called a spirit? Or this just the voice of mind? Or a conscience?

There are always lots of questions, and the valid questions are always essential for learning and having the knowledge ……….. Philosophy has one ground of thinking as philosophy always touches the corners of each idea and ideological concepts; by means all this dilemma of thought is in air rather this life is a trap for soul?

If Sufism or the spiritual realities are based on purities and modesty than the physical realities are beyond that aspect …………

There are lots of reasons, lots of myths, and lots of debate of philosophy had made over this topic …………..the ethereal being is alive, is worth knowing and what does it meant to be in real and how far it is correctly accessed………………

The worth knowing basic idea possessed in following words :

‘Pertaining to the hypothetical upper, purer air, or to the higher regions beyond the earth or beyond the atmosphere; celestial; as, ethereal space; ethereal regions. Characterized by lightness and insubstantiality; as impalpable or intangible as air; “figures light and aeriform come unlooked for and melt away………… ‘

Above that is the most identified and accessed definition and meanings to world known……

Substantially it is unsubstantial yet alive that it connects and emerge the physical realities to the beyond imaginative boundaries, where it can connect with the spiritual bonds.

The world known to human consciousness and conscience in this circumference where the brain works is the world where ethereal being (soul) is the back stage character where as in reality this is the main role of human character that possess the voice, that possess life and ultimate connection with the world of souls(Alam-E Arwah).

Myth of mind works where brain gets the connection for the knowing of physical realities whereas spiritual realities may explore by the metaphysical consensus and these can be awaken by the introvert practices of spirit consumption that is to say ……

What is perceptible to the senses and highly abstract or abstruse to attain but it is true that human conscience and human consciousness is maze where all the hidden keys of the doors of knowledge and truth are available as treasury.

If human skull physically be examine it looks like maze, apparently it looks like but reality it is as well because its system intrigue introduce the similar aspects where knowing of complicated objects and to learn about the difficult tasks is the conspicuous study ………….

The ethereal reality is inside the mind? Inside the conscience? Inside the body? Where it is …………Infact what it is??

Usually, as it is defined here topic is not of same worth, here the imagination travel is the concept, if holograms can be true and can be seen even the voice hologram can be recorded and it could convert in visionary aspect……….

As science gifted this in visionary concept of transparent objects converted to be seen as vision to naked eye …… Holography is possible, as nothing is impossible even the words itself says ‘I’m possible’ …..

Rather few things as death is a phenomenon which once, occurs it just take away…… This is TRUTH in this mortal world the immortality could be earned as modesty, through purity, by innocence in immersive higher thoughts…………

Ethereal soul is none other than the inner world of spirit that could realize the outer world with the sense of piety and when modesty roles over top to toe for the realities’ explorations. Ethereal realities are unseen but they exist the one who tries to feel can do so ………

This is not appropriate to say that soul is the earthly object ….It is by the Grace of Lord Almighty is the Order of Lord Almighty; it is instinctively powerful, light consumer, and voice conductor…….

Now it depends on the actions of humans being in the earthly world with the power of Will and good deeds and how far enlightened the introvert world because introvert world can only be recognized and gate way to fate building once, one realizes the intensity of knowing the soul’s originality and purpose of being alive and come to breath in shape of human body.

Lord Almighty has made this world with light out of darkness, the both aspects are as important as the creation existence, even the body levels of humans have light and darkness inside as an example woman carry child in womb and child survives and grows inside the womb under 3 major darkness with 7 outer layers ……………

Soul breathing is the beginning of life but it grooms only by good deeds and by admitting the reality being creation that we are weaker in front of the Wills and the submissions of Creator and we are here to have His ultimate Will to be success in this exam where we sent for the exchange of everything blessed…………..

By complicating the idea of living is not sane act, simplicity to adopt and modesty to act and purity to be clothed and intelligence to be move on this traveling road …………if we as thinkers, as writers and humans just try to understand our existence instinctive realities and we base ourselves for the fundamental lines of actions within the circle of  goodness the light will be the selected course both ways outer and inner ………As all big deals comes from inside so we need to groom the inner side to lit the candle of light and knowledge that will spread outside.

I took privilege to define my idea with the help of ethereal soul word as there is none other idea best than that ………… Be aware of yourself and yours’ awareness lit up the world……….

Awareness is the key to open the brain windows and door of consciousness, sub consciousness even unconsciousness and also of conscience ………..

 

Hope

Emotions contain flow of flood in the human ocean of psyche; they have their own world of expression.  This own world of expression, which are full of sentiments flourish the identity reality to the outer core of the world.

Happenings made their existence so easily in the physical structure of human world, by their forceful attempts, the insistence, instantly in the human world; they are very much connected and emphasized over the emotional realities of human psyche. Sometimes, these happenings are so intense and forceful that they can easily interrupt and disturb human psyche. In such intense circumstances humans often distracted from the normal routine happenings for which they are used to of.

Situations made happenings as bridge in the consequences of life in human world, though human is also animal, a mammal in the animal kingdom, and in this doom the most sane because of the knowledge, because of the thinking and imagination the rest all aspects are beastial, if thinking is out, if imagination may lost, if inside of human mind, soul or psyche gone than there is no charm or charismatic powers remain in human and the happenings or intense situations may affect the internal structure of this crown being easily. In such way, when the disturbance, the turbulence and the tensions spread over human skull; the only way not to be seized by them is in shape of HOPE.

So oftenly humans easily distracted due to such phase and they fall sleep in deep in the intense situations they may gulp very harmfully and without effort the whole positive side and sunshine of human field of thinking. The thinking corner of human mind is the only control panel for whole human body and outer structure, if this control panel is distracted the whole outer core stay plugged to that. This control panel is not home for rocket science but verily the room for emotional backup.

HOPE is divine source it is connected with fate and entered in free will through actions. It brings light in the phase of darkness of such dilemma of situations that could not handled by humans. There are lots of consequences where humans did best of best efforts but they still feel trapped they still remain in the deep intense situation and sometimes it’s hard to be get rid of this. But what exactly, helps human to be real storm breaker of his on outer layers? The only divine source the hope it has no shape, no physical reality, no appearance, no character, no castle but yet it has castles beneath the surface of thoughts and these castles could be come true if the true hope, the ultimate hope, and the full moon of hope be there be the part of the control panel.

Sooner or later, in any stage or any age of human life each and every human may get such sequence where the outer light or sunshine is not enough for humans. Sometimes the consequences get so darker and dense that no outer color may reflect the identity of life.

Such happenings, such accidents that kill the outer course of ray of life, effect and bring death to the internal core of human structure………Even such dense darker death consequences have remedy have some vital element to know well, which is called HOPE.

Hope is next to vision; it brings visionary power to foresee and bear the rest of situation. Most oftenly tragedies in life contain such drug that seizes human blood and flesh to be converted in skeleton and soon be rotten. The harsh realities, the loneliness, the breakups and when loved ones left and the desert of time just make graves of sand grains.

Hope is remedy, is medicine is direction is something which is unseen yet close to the soul that gives patience and turn to wait for the right time to come and act as a character in favor of human genuine and ultimate needs.

If we say living in this world that would not last forever, and its end gives relief in favor of human salvation, it is not wrong that during this worldly journey in most of the major aspects we need some intrigue and unique heavenly sources to recognize the truth to reveal the ultimate goals……And hope is one of that majestic power that bestowed to mankind for the positive favor for human stay in the tragic world where paradise is out of it.

We as humans are verily unsatisfied beings the outer distractions lead humans easily to the ways where the productivity, creativity and development may get very higher rank where desired and in desire, staying as desire so quickly convert an ambitious optimistic being into a pessimistic bug that people commit suicide due to being declare themselves losers in front of their desires.

This existing apparent world does not match the idealistic, opinionic, imaginative and visionary world of human because this world enhance the physical realities it is embodiment of life and death, whatever it contains even the tiny little living object may converse and have results here after. This exists and this is existing world, staying with sand time yet mortal and this is small as compare to the rest which is immortal.

Man is spiritual passenger in this complicated journey if he conquers himself he can conquer everything if he recognize himself he can know everything …….And in such knowing everything can be the part of anything between the lines of heavens, above the lines of universe and beyond the limits……………..

To be hopeful is a positive act, it is itself a part of prayers because hope directly connects with Lord’s Will, and if at once the utterance may not listened, hope fully it has sign to understand that there must be special for the next stage or there must be some hidden benefits…………

Connectivity with hope is real, though it looks visionary but it has blessed force and power that could finally lead to victory. Destruction is tragic and tragedy opens the windows to the human emotions to sustain the flow which it contains.

Why it happens that loved one leave us? Why no longer anybody stays?  But if what they do not …………………..Because in this way they stays in remembrance in memories they live in human psyche and soul and they shift their spirit one after another through good deeds they made history they teach………..

The hope is that kind of travelling spirit that make through of anything by any consequence……. So be positive, stay on the positive direction, be hopeful for all aspects of life and live with perceptive that based on hope, be hopeful and spread hope to others……………….. As it has no appearance but hope is main character whose image is the most effective and highly motivating and progressive in all aspects of life…………

What lost is lost, this lost shell left in phase is the pearl of HOPE, the gain brings more ray to the lighter streets ………….Lets our coming generation open their eyes in the phase of ideal ground of human best of best imagination with no other perspective BUT positive direction of HOPE that could have realistic appearance of human crown dreams and thoughts …………….

Hope is rope that must hold tight for the blessings coming in way and leaving though out, rope of hope , divine essence is hope, perception is hope, to see, to watch hope is everywhere in nature, in seasons, ripping of fruits, in sunshine, in green lands, in water falls………………

Hope surrounds us …………..wishes us ……..we just need to spread the wings of inner swan to embrace it with purity and by intensity of innocent emotions……………

Come hope for the rest of life, be on the boat of hope to cross this ocean of life to have the ultimate edge of success and shore of Will of Creator……………….
