the delicacy of the divider is impairing to any force that tries to breakthrough its restraining bounds. The delicacy inhibits people from experiencing life as a representative from both sides of the story. And thus we are forced to choose. Some are born for lustrousness, but the world turns them dark. Some are born for the night, but love makes them frolic in the sunlight. A side must be chosen a point in human life and the finely spun wall blocks the other side completely.
But the one who breaks through the gossamer becomes both good and evil. Others view this person as strange and fickle, but they have broken through the thin fabric that separates a dividing shield, that many do not have the courage to even touch. Hands can poke through creating a mystical light that on lookers maybe afraid of and veer away. These hands create a hole in the barricade, an opening that allows for the two sides to inter mix. These hands create acceptance. These hands of versatility make it respectable to do both good deeds for others, and also be occasionally selfish. In the scheme of life, people need to find a balance between light and dark. We need to find the gray and live as the gossamer does. Live as a median because whether we are able to admit it or not, we all have a portion of virtue and a portion of foul.
halle, sometimes I really cannot comprehend your blog post because your wording is so sophisticated and so your own and I have to read it twice to really understand it, which I love. many of these posts really don't make me think, some do but not on the level yours do. I had to comment on your blog post because the topic not only relates to me but everybody. the topic is so simple, but yet, in reality it isn't. you give a good side and a bad side. which is true in a sense until you go out in the world and the bad guy isnt obvious. I loved how you mentioned that we are born and forced to choose a side because it is the truth. " Some are born for lustrousness, but the world turns them dark. Some are born for the night, but love makes them frolic in the sunlight." I absolutely loved this quote because it makes you realize that you pick your own life. if you are born into a terrible family, it doesn't mean you cant end up being a good person and being born into a good family doesn't mean you cant end up a bad person. you have to choose. it is your decision. ypur third paragraph then contradicts what you said in the first. the person who is both good and evil which contradicts you being either good or bad. your repetition and parallelism of "these hands" was so effective because it makes the audience realize that it is on their hands and it is their choice to make their decisions. then you ended on what seemed like a subtle action call, for people to balance the good and evil temptations. thank you for making me feel smarter over the course of your blog post :)
