One Photo Every Day: Everything Seems Beautiful from Distance (19/365)
This building seems beautiful from far away but as you get closer you can start to see its defects. Everything looks beautiful from far away but the deeper you get the more you start to see that the fairy tale, the perfection is not that beautiful anymore, it's just an old hooker with fake teeth and wig drinking a glass of scotch after a miserable, hard life.
The same with people, as you interact with them they may seem really fun and happy maybe but as you get closer you can already see their miserable lives of quiet desperation. People nowadays live lives of quiet desperation where they repress their thoughts and wishes, replacing them with the thoughts and wishes of someone's else, their parents, priests, friends, partners, politicians and celebrities maybe.
You have to live life the way you want to live it, not the way others dictate you. If they think you're crazy that's a sign that you are right.

Good post, like this and have i
Cheers. :)
Great photo and wise words!
Thank you :)
That's the second photo of yours that captured my attention. The metaphor is spot on. The only problem/question is, how do you distinguish between the thoughts that are your own, and the ones that are dictated by other people? (without you realising it). On another note, though staying with inspiration, you have inspired me to start the challenge myself. I just have to convince myself that I can use words to convey the thoughts.
Thank you, I really appreciate it. It's hard to distinguish your thoughts from the thoughts of others when you lived your whole life by their rules. I'm still working on that, it's a life long journey, I guess.
Feel free to start the challenge, it's a great idea.
Between your photos, this one caught my attention..What you say is half-true imho. When you get closer not only defects reveal, but also those peculiarities that make us unique. Getting closer, in the good and in the bad, is what we do when we don't want to remain just spectators. Just another perspective ..
Thank you. Yep, that is right too, that's the part I love the most :)
