When chosen for the calling of a writer to illuminate the path of literature, it is essential for their life to be authentically lived. Why is the literary profession so demanding, especially for someone in such a prestigious position? Because in this field, many individuals lead artificial lives, merely existing and engaging superficially to gain advantages. This type of existence is often termed pragmatic living, where relationships are transactional rather than genuine. The literary world detests such disingenuous behavior. Living authentically also involves living with care and attentiveness. It means being truthful to see through the facades of those around them. True life is when one can perceive others beyond their outward personas, even when subjected to ridicule or misrepresentation by society. Conversely, individuals who are showered with admiration and praise may harbor hidden malice. They may excel at masking evil with goodness, presenting a false image to the world. All these behaviors stem from a commitment to living honestly, sincerely, and thoroughly every moment, hour, day, and year. In reality, human interactions are person-to-person relationships, while in literature, characters are crafted entities. The literary profession constructs a microcosm of society on each page, delineating the intricate relationships of these characters. A writer's vocation evolves over time, shaping their persona and nurturing their craft, akin to building a sacred abode free from detrimental influences like plagiarism or insincere narratives. The outcome of a genuinely and attentively lived life is paramount for a writer. When a writer has established their literary throne, their work aspires to resonate with readers of all backgrounds and perspectives, evoking varied emotions and thoughts. This diversity of interpretation is crucial in preventing monotony and ensuring the work's relevance and impact. The ultimate aim of the literary profession is to enrich lives and provoke contemplation. A writer's pursuit is incompatible with mediocrity, as average works are deemed counterfeit and detrimental. The literary world, unlike everyday life, cannot afford averageness. It rejects substandard creations and strives for excellence, upholding the noble essence of the writer's calling. In a world where superficiality is prevalent, the literary vocation demands authenticity and depth. Mediocrity is shunned, and only through genuine dedication and integrity can a writer fulfill their true potential and create works of lasting significance.
