Reality and Romance

Author: Navdeep Singh


God created Man, replacing the unique strengths of birds and animals by endowing him with transformed powers collected into the cranium cavity. He turned the power to fly into imagination accompanied by fancy, fantasy, and reverie. It is imagination that has helped man to invent a machine that flies at an incredible speed carrying tons of weight comprising passengers, the crew and the cargo. Imagination creates a new form of reality, even vivid characters that are true to life, such as Hamlet. Fancy dreams up delightful, non-existent beings, such as elves, fairies, and woodland spirits. Fantasy directs vivid day-dreams like a drama by the mind.

God transformed animals' need of chewing the cud into man's capacity for rumination in thought. Using his unique mental powers man has invented the radar a la a bat, and a telescope that can see distant objects millions of times better than the eagle. But perhaps the best use that man has put his newfound mental powers to is the discovery of romance and its development into mesmerising stories. The most effective deployment of romance comes handy when man uses it to deal with the insensate obduracy of reality which, left to itself, would render life impossible by its unrelenting stony stance.

Preceding romance, the game of colourful psycho-emotional antics with unyielding objectivity, man coined thousands of words, phrases, and metaphors to extend his insatiable urge to see beauty where there is none, to discern victory where there is only defeat. The best word for this avocation is ‘heart' while man's vocation for survival monitored by his mind keeps him on the edge of life. If this word weren't invented, the undivorceable pair of ‘mind' and ‘heart' wouldn't be there, leaving life a deadly duration of colourless monotony. Even though the reality that ‘heart' is nothing but a muscle which pumps blood cyclically stands scientifically revealed, man hates to give up his romance. He puts ‘heart' on the side of poetry, leaving the ‘mind' an enigmatic prose.

By the same token, notions like sunrise and sunset persist, despite the stark reality that the sun is stationary, and days and nights are formed by the earth's own rotation. As a matter of fact, even the so-called cardinal points do not exist, because the sun ‘rises' at a given point of time on different parts of the globe when that part facing the sun, on its turn, becomes the east!

The creation of romance and the apprehension of reality are functions of mind which is a culturally endowed software of the grey-matter hardware called the brain. But strangely enough, mind prefers romance to reality to stay at peace with itself and the world — giving man the illusion he's having great time!
