Being Not Like The Good Ones {Tribute series - Prelude}

Photo depicting the Fates — Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos — were divinities in Greek mythology who presided over human life. Together, the Fates represented the inescapable destiny of humanity. 

Historically, there were some records for those considered as public figures. By public figures I mean those who engaged in the public life of the people. The ones who were recognized as influential and they were acknowledged publicly as such. Needless to mention that by stating influential public figures, the criteria will be somehow different than today's world. Some might have had what others have perceived as successful career or life at which other generations would gaze and aspire to attain it. Nevertheless, other public figures did not have what consider by some as rewarding life. Not so rewarding that there are, sometimes, feelings of sympathy associated with their narratives. In my own thinking, there are so much to release a verdict on the life of someone. Even those considered to be fortunate and lucky might have had their burdens buried elsewhere than the biography. At the end, the public rely on what are received and recognized on those figures even if these might be rumours and telltales. Those articles are not about the ones with prosperous and affluent life or thought as that. So, if this will disappoint your expectations, I advise you to discard what will be shared on this. Instead, those series of articles will be about those considered by the majority as people with challenging human experiences. Not to discount their influential experience but to acknowledge their strength and inspiration.

These articles I present to the ones reading as a tribute to those once lived when life did not offer them its advantages in exchange to their qualities and merits. There will be reflections on the human experiences rather than the achievements and the influential side. These articles are written with pride and honour for those who lived with qualitative values not to piety their life but to dignify and commemorate their regarded suffer and journey in them. In times where good is naïve and values no matter what are overrated, it might be a reminder for some that if there will be a piety or sympathy, it will be on the predators and the ones who were once unjust and did not have decency.

Their narratives represent some of the humans' tragedies. The very different is people/the public got to know their stories and connect to them in unprecedented ways. Maybe, they just did not get the same publicity as those figures for whatever reasons.

Those are my reflections to those revered human experiences once shared with the public by the public in public to contemplate and assimilate the not so good part of life that makes up life as we know in past, present and future.
