Most Censored and Most Challenged. Yet Mystifying!

If you could be a character from a book or film, who would you be? Why?

Holden Caulfield in the book The Catcher in the Rye, written by J. D. Salinger.

Because it best portrays a person’s confused state of growing up and how he copes with what’s called ‘coming of age’.

The language and the writing style of author J. D. Salinger just strikes a chord. So powerful.

Seven decades and it is still mystifying.

And, the novel was one of the most censored and most challenged in history. Best reviews. 

“An unusually brilliant novel” as said in an article by The New York Times.

Do you believe in fate/destiny?

Do you believe in fate/destiny?

Yes. One should. 

Those two words decided how life came into existence on the earth.

Of the 300,000,000 (roughly) sperms ejaculated during coitus, only about 200 actually reach the oviduct. Only a lone lucky fellow out of the 200 does a further climb and dares penetrate the egg. Bravo!

Fate plays a part up to this point. No one has control over embryogenesis. 

How the fellow later on grows up to become an Einstein, a Theresa, a Gandhi, a Martin Luther King or an Usain Bolt is all part of destiny. That’s very predictable though.

God made fate. Man made destiny.
