FILTH MAKES IT FILTHY


Ever stared at filth for so long that your detest, hesitancy, reluctancy, puking sensation and “Dare Not Stare” feelings changed. Ever stared at filth for so long that you started discovering those different objects that at one point of time were adorned by one of us. Ever felt that connection with the filth. Ever thought it’s an integral part of you coz it’s come out of you or been a part of you. Ever seen a different world in that filthy drain by the train track while in locomotion. If not then don’t try either, who would want to meet you in hospital. But there is a world in that filth.

Have you ever seen the beauty in filth; I’m sounding insane, I know, but did you? Yes it’s got a beauty of its own. Try staring at it for long, long enough before that dizziness sets in. You would find it’s not all that to be detested. If you figured out something in a filthy drain that adorned your living room some time back then how it can detest. It was a part of you at one point of time.
“A THING OF BEAUTY IS A JOY FOREVER”
“Nothing is good or bad but thinking makes it so”, said Shakespeare. It’s our nature to like something to such an extreme that to detest it becomes so easier. I’m at a conclusion that besides nature which is cyclic in pattern everything else in life follows a bell shaped pattern. Starting from no where in its gestation, begins on a low note, reaches its peak where it becomes an apple of eye, starts to descend and then lost in transition. Becomes the detesting FILTH.

Men are filthy too. Filthy by their own existence. Filthy though not in appearance but in mind. All men have split personality. Hypocrisy is their other name. No not coz they don’t know how to mince words to hide their filth but they are an adroit in hiding their split personality. Hypocrite’s coz their split personality makes them different persons in front of different people. Dexterous in hiding their filthy persona to the person of their interest. But once confronting their filthy counterparts all that glitter is lost in the filth. Yes we all put up pretences.
Some, rather many would call it an art but what’s in an art that keeps changing form. The only art that can be accepted with its changing forms is nature rest all is FILTH!!

But filth is beautiful too. Some filthy men would be genuinely good and smart and handsome. Ever wondered why the goons and dons have the hottest babes. Simple, the babes already know of their filthy persona. Nothing is hidden. And it’s an acceptance of that filth which is apparent not concealed like others; the filth in others surfaces later when all the glitter and sheen has withered and the filth becomes apparent only to make life troublesome.

It’s best to have a filthy real persona than to have a dual existence, a split personality, and a constant hypocrisy that kills in the long run.

Hey Ravi!
Ready? Here we go.
I have always somehoe seen the beauty in junk & filth. I ma not the only one, as junk, filth, garbage, trash is human nature. It has been a part of us. ALways. Since the Paleolit ages until now, as POP art sometimes reffers to junk & the compositions made of junk. It's poor art, but it's loved by many & the artist introduce their ideas with no regret via JUNK. Filth. Dirt.
In the medivial ages humans were filthy in general : poor christians were washed 2 times in their life: when they were born & before death. No wonder why everyone was dying so suddenly. Not to mention those epidemies. The plague. Death.
Filth is very oftenly seen as death. I mean just look at this pic: this girl is most likely dead than alive. Or how we should most likely say: a part of the "undead", as a devil, Lilith or someone else. Someone dirty, filthy & dead.
Filth is also understood as fear & pain. Just let us memorize some of our beloved horror movies. The script writers play with our disgust: we see filthy patients in mental hospitals, bloody footprints - everything is filthy & this bascially makes the film scary & gore. Gore is also filth. HumAN DIRT. It makes us afraid.
I think filth is something mostly connected to ppl, or as u said: "Simple, the babes already know of their filthy persona. Nothing is hidden." Nothing indeed. It's natural. Oh & regarding to that. Filth is not always a visual basic. We have filthy thoughts, we do dirty things (i wasn't talkign abt sex!) i meant we sin & forsake which is also reffered as dirty by the holy books. We are all dirty inside & out. Is it sad?
I think this is something we r born with & die in. We say those filthy words & we do those dirty deeds. & it doesnt bother us. It never did.
I love ur inspirational writing. U r amazing. Not weird. Amazing.

Wondering for the inspiration/spark that produced this blog !! ... Written very nicely :).

And hey that pic is of the band 'Cradle of Filth'. Heard the band's music? On the same lines, try to listen to the band until it sounds melodious, euphonic :)

Very True .

Middle class is not affected much and they would prefer a holiday instead of the heat and the long queue.

The poor ones vote only because of some hope for betterment, somebody from whom they vote for may heed them. Sadly, they are let down most of the time.
