i read

i read this comment in a magazine that the writings by the present generation are increasingly becoming cynical...be it poetry or prose...the element of hope lacks in the writings.

i thought about it and tried to read the writings keeping in mind the comment and found that the comment wasnt wrong afterall, the element of negativity definitely prevails..

but i guess we need to make a distinction as to what cynical is...i dont think writings are cynical..yes the negativity, the gloom may seem a dominant element of these writings but i still feel that element of or atleast a hope for a ray of light isnt missing...

i think it is realism..the glorification of things as it is found in the literature of past...in urdu poetry for instance are increasingly lessening from the contemporary literature but it doesnt mean that it has devoid literature from presenting hope. on the other hand i think it has paved a way for realistic writing....
