A true life story told time and time again
loses its charm and emotion with its repetition.
Be it by the original teller of the story or those who take it forward.
The life and love stories once told by you may have had so much of detail
and so much of expression that you could not contain it within anything less than 30 minutes.
But after telling it one too many times, wont u find the same story narrated in a matter of 10 mins?
So what is it? what makes 'The fox and the grapes' a story of 5 minutes?
When it might have been expressed with more details by the fox himself.
What makes Cinderella sound so fictional?
Unless of course you heard it from her tongue.
Then would everything be explained the way you hear it now?
With the passage of time, our stories begin to lose feeling.
They are drained of the experience and the lessons you learnt and the things you felt.
They transform from 'first person life experiences' to mere stories.
And all that's left is fact and no emotion.
Probably, somewhere down the line, listeners will call it fiction; made up.
Someday, you will stop telling your story, for the same reason that it holds no charm anymore.
That the characters in your story moved faster than you wanted them to.
Whats a protagonist without an antagonist right?
And your story will fade away like unrecorded literature, unpainted pieces of art.
And suddenly it wont matter to you anymore.
Suddenly, the fact that you're broken won't matter anymore
Suddenly, the feeling of attachment for the incident will fade.
and mostly narrating it won't engulf you in the same emotions you felt when you narrated it for the 1st time.
It lived for the time that it could hold its beauty.
Now it has reached a point where all emotion dies and fact reigns.
Your tragic life experience that once brought tears to the eye when narrated
Now a part of the past that's better left there.
A lifetime of emotion reduced to a tale of fiction.
What becomes of a story? Very little I'd say...
