Living Literature

What if there were a literary piece whose design and appeal reached into the human soul so that those who read it could not be the same? What if the very nature of the characters, the scenes and the circumstances within the words moved minds, remedied problems and set forth paths of consciousness that evoked emotional outburst that could not rest until alteration was formulated? What if these were conglomerate words aligned with passion, motivated by love and congealed with design that would penetrate the most difficult of beings? And what if this literary giant was unstoppable, a formidable foe whose influence lasted beyond generations and centuries?

What effect would such a piece have on societies, cultures and socioeconomic conditions? And if this living literature were to have an judgmental accounting for those who had capacity to hear it's pleas, Kings would be moved, and Presidents would be motivated. Governors would kneel, and representatives would succumb. Judges would comply, officers would align, and offenders would consent. In other words, life would be in an altered state merely by the influence of ideas extrapolated upon a page.

And should this living literature have an alien author who dwells among the human race without being seen or heard who could influence readers, inspire interest, and create desire, people would have no alternative but to read or resist his determinant counsel. And thus, without making direct reference to this literary masterpiece, one with wisdom would find such a treasure and apply the teachings within, and move his or her world.

Until tomorrow...Why Say More?
