Andrew Lone

Perhaps what they say is right. When there's a beginning, there would be a tragic end. No matter what we do, we must accept it, because in the mysterious tale of life, each day we read its pages until we meet the end. Just like in telling stories.
I am, thus, a writer who have wrote many tales. i have told my stories from my heart and what I have observed and did in this world. And right now, more than ever, I would like to write something and I just couldn't get it out of my mind. We have hear many tales about love, horror, science fiction, and in those tales we are stunned. Perhaps because of the setting, or the characters or the enigmatic happenings there...but have you heard of a life's tale? This sounds quite familiar and I know that right now, my dear reader, you know what I'm talking about and you're just having a hard way to express it.

My name is Andrew Lone by the way. They told me that what I write reflects my inner soul, but I told them that I take my stories from various inspirations. I think what they really like about the way I write is the mood. When I write a story, I bring my emotional quotient to its limits. Because if you ask me what my life's tale is, you'll understand what I've been through.

But first, what is a life's tale? If you say "As the word implies..." then you're clearly wrong. Life's tale doesn't mean the tale of my life, or a tale about someone's life or the tale of life. That might be the meaning for you, but for me, it means life itself.
Perhaps right now, you'll stop reading and consider this piece of work nonsense. I can't blame you, 'cause that's what my life is all about. In the many stories that I have told, this is the first time I'm gonna let go of my "Love and Horror" genre, and switch into the discussion of a Human's Life tale.
During the renaissance, they focused on human anatomy, the human itself. They didn't discuss life.
Not so many writers consider life as its main subject, some may try to, but not to its very essence.

What is the essence of life?
The answer? Please read on...

Life is a labyrinth, and one wrong turn, we could battle with the minotaur. We can either win, or lose. If we win, don't expect Daedalus and his son Icarus to collect feathers and run away, and if we lose, don't expect the sun to rise again.

There are three ways in life: The positive, the negative and the balanced, otherwise known as Yin and Yang.
If we choose the positive way, we would tell ourselves that we could do everything, that we would successfully accomplish all our goals. We would tell ourselves that there is no obstacle in life, that we will conquer all mountains, the skies, the clouds,...the heavens...thus resulting into pure and sheer vanity, which is bad.
The negative side is when we tell ourselves "I'm a failure. I'll never ever make it to the top." We lack in self-esteem, self confidence, thus resulting to loneliness, hopelessness and Schizophrenia. This is bad because we do bad things. Bad things to others, to the environment, and more terrible to ourselves. The negative side of life is the most dark road. It has no street lights and it is flooded with rain that it is so tragically endless. Some negative people don't do bad things to others but just sit on a corner. They may look harmless but in their mind they think about bad things.
Another road in life is the balanced way. ABout 80% of the world population goes through the balance road. This is when we tell ourselves "I'm a failure. But I'll try again."
This is when we think negative but still thinks positive and try crossing paths of tornadoes jsut for a blade of grass. Sometimes we do good things, sometimes we do bad things. That is the balanced way of life. Let's just hope that we don't get stumbled and fall towards a dark abyss, a last goodbye.

What is the essence of life?
Life is a mysterious tale. We tell it by different ways. Sometimes it is filled with action, imagination, horror, love, loneliness, emotions and happiness. Each of it has a tragic or comdey plot, each of it has its conflicts. Conflicts that are sometimes accomplished and sometimes failed. So for me, the very essence of life is our decisions, our desires, our actions, the road we choose to cross, and the way we cross it. In short, the very essence of life is us.

Yes, we. The Human beings who first appeared as apes for some two billion years ago.
The reason is so simple. IT is because we are the writers of our lives. We choose a road, crosses it any way we want. So that makes us the very root of life itself!
Yes, I know what I'm writing now (to some) is pure nonsense, but to others I know that they can understand what I am trying to say to all.

I have chosen the negative road. And now here I am living alone, with nobody else...long forgotten by everyone.

Life is a mysterious tale. Paranoid Schizophrenic.
