BRAIN STORMIING .
Literature, according to my mind, is the reflection of life. The magic of poetry and rhetoric speeches of impressive personalities, like Milton, King Martin Luther, Gandhi, Caesar, Brutus still resounding in the mind of readers. Science means the knowledge of untold things and undiscovered areas and invention but if we look at the definition it seems that science is itself static as we can not change the rules of nature.
An apple drop from the top from always project towards the earth. So science is the discovery of fixed rules but when we come to reign and realm of Literature then such fixed rules fade away as literature is the discovery of mind and discovery of new rules and setups which spring in the mind of a writer.
Same is the case with politics and political science as all political laws are man made laws and politicians and legislators are real scientists as they are always busy in practical novel experiments. If u have doubt in mind about such scientists, study any political system of South Asian country;
Literature is not like a common paper or like journalism as literature is universal and later is for the time being. That is why most of the people wrongly interpreted literary works and it creates a great chaos and anarchy in a nation or country. When Bible and Quran were first translated into English and Persian languages, the common masses whose sound minds were corrupted by by narrow and staunch clergymen, rose against the translators and if I am not wrong one of the great figure was burnt alive for translating the Bible during Middle Ages in Europe.
If a person is reading literary piece of work, first it is necessary to know about the person whether he or she will be able to harmonize his mind with mind of writer. Whether he or she will find for what the writer has written that book. A literary person is one who reaches deep in the heart and kernel of the writer’s mind.
"A thing of beauty is joy for ever" Keats
"The fair breeze blew
The white foam flew
The furrow followed free
We were the first that ever burst
Into the silent sea." Coleridge
"What a piece of work is a man?
How noble in mind. Hamlet
To be or not be that is the question
Whether it nobler in mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrages fortune
Or take arms against the sea of trouble. Hamlet

"First in beauty should be first in might" Keats
These are not static lines or stanzas; for these are our experience which a dramatist dramatize or a poet depicted in his or her poetry.
Today we are barking the wrong tree, not able to understand the writers’ minds. Drama which is the greatest source of reformation in middle time, source of instruction and enlightment in Renaissance, is today only a so called literary genre. Novel, through which we can penetrate deep in the heart of the character is visualized now which spoil the beauty of novels as imagination has own taste.
21st century is the period of ultra civilization, a time of realism and time of super industrialization but still today war is abolished by war and still we still sacrifice our nations, humanity for the larger interest of our selves. It is only man who never learn from his mistakes and faults, glance at ww1 and WW2 and post world war and u will come to know about evil designs of human beings inspire of this fact that those were the men of were highly civilized nations. Iran with Iraq, North Korea with South Korea, India with Pakistan, or Pakistan with India, America with Iraq and Afghanistan, Arabs States with Israel truly depicts the hollowness in our souls.
T.S.Eloit poems depicts the destructive nature of man in the his poems, The Waste Land, and Hollow Man.
Most of the poets of modern age are pessimistic. But I do believe one should be optimistic towards life as hope good breakfast.
Now I am going to write about the great literary work and compare its characters to the tangible characters of this world.
Oedipus by Greek dramatist Sophocles shows some what similarities with great Mohall Emperor Bahdar Shah Zafar who was also renowned poet of Urdu and there is too much pathos in his voice.
Whose two sons were axed and presented as a gift to him by placing in a plate before. He paralyzed before the force of nature when he says alas if a were a powerful king or a street beggar,
Oedipus is also resemble the heroine of Thomas Hardy Novel Tess of the D’Urbervilles, as she was born in poor family and destiny play a wicked role and made her deserted.
Shakespearean Dramas are universal and time less.
Thousands Macbeths are roaming around us. Macbeth was highly ambitions and he swims in the river of blood to engineer evil designs. Hitler was also a Macbeth killed six million Jews and did every thing to dominant world but result was no more different than Macbeth. Lenin was another Macbeth as he killed a large population. Saddam Hussein, Shah of Iran, General Zia, ul. Haq met the same fate.
Hamlet is most readable book in the world and its character can be applied on any society of world. It is a landmark in World Literature.

Pakistan's role regarding diplomatic relationship with Israel is no more different than Hamlet indecisive whether to kill her father’ murderer or not. For India Israel is one in the million and India has gained maximum benefits from Israel where as Pakistan on the other hand due to hostility gained no favor from Israel . Even
Though Arab States never openly favored Pakistan on Kashmir.
Pakistan could not hit the nail rightly on head when it was high time as this country is still in this dilemma
To accept or not to accept
That is the question
Whether it s nobler for the countrymen to suffer
OR take arms against the sea of troubles.
This country should not miss the boat this time and should recognize Israel.
Army is trained to kill and having such a huge army it is the utopian world of Thomas Moore to have a good relationship between North Korea with South Korea, Israel with Arab State, Pakistan with India.
To free South Asia from small weapons is all Sir Thomas Moore 'Utopia ' as only in my province N.W.F.P, Pakistan there is three million small weapons.
With out realizing the importance of U.S.A progress for third world is impossible in current century.

It is Friday evening for me, 7pm, and I have just quickly read this post for the first time.

I am very impressed by the expansive nature of your mind.

I am also very impressed by Mockingbird, who is also in Pakistan, and very young, I might add, in her early teens.

I hope you will forgive me if I speak of the stereotype notion that the western world has of countries such as Pakistan and neighboring Afghanistan, living under a more restrictive theocratic government, but such brillian universal minds as yours, and Mockingbird, demonstrate that the human spirit is indominatble, and like a hardy plant, may sprout and flourish in the most adverse of conditions. I hope you will forgive me if I, as a westerner, an American, couch my praise for you, in such terms.

But I hope it is most understandible how someone such as myself, in my culture, faced with various distressing events, should view such minds, such intellects as yours, as a shining hope of humanism, of the seeds of humanism scattered about the globe, which shall be the hope of the human race, to transcend the stereotypical notions of religion.

As Cassius says in Shakespeare's Caesar, "forgive me. My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, and I must pause til it return to me."

Give me pause, while I catch my breath, that I may return later, and speak at greater length about this wonderful post.
