Role playing

Dearest Mr.Macho
It's such a pleasure writing to you. I have always admired your muscular thoughts and your stonelike emotions. How are you capable of always being so focused and not letting any kind of happiness or sadness get in your way of living?
I always wonder what would life be if each of us could live like you do and act like you do.
Would being ambitious and running after achievement be the answer to everybody else's problems. Those meek ones who cry and feel and think and in front of God kneel?
Little have I seen any courage and pride in anyone else other than you. Oh hail ye almighty, I praise thee today for your aloofness, your supreme introvertness and your ability to stay away from all that is human and talkative.
It is so vain and yet so adorable to see you strut through the hurdles of life, kicking away all relations and freeing yourself from the chains of dependents. Must be taking a toll on your time allocated for personal grooming.
Do you always strive so hard to follow the cult of 'cool'dom? Or do you ever stir away and think of getting distracted by worldly pleasures of simplicity and boredom?
I have always been in awe of your pompusness and grandeur. Has never been anyone and shall never be like you. Unique, Self focused and wonderfully talented that you are do you ever think this life would be any different had you not taken a step or two towards selfishness and impression management?
I would also mention the fact that although it is a pity (for I feel they are sheer indicators of human emotional existence)you cannot cry (since society says men cannot cry), you cannot crib (because you like to flaunt how much of motivation you have) I do think you are absolutely invincible when it comes to attaining what we mortals call undaunted impressions on the human mind. I have and many more to come will remember you in their minds for it's so hard to let go of memories of personas like you.
May there be a million more out there just like you, Robotic, determined and emotionless!
Amen!
Sobbingly yours (tears of joy ofcourse)
The Goblin.

@ victim..... Nope i don't think so.... emotions know no reason but they are a must .....what is the difference then between animates and inanimates....just emotions..and i think it's an important difference we must nurture...

i think its quite difficult to achieve that state of having no emotions, no attachments, no dependants - what you have stated is the image of Mr Macho, what do you have to say about non-attached, un-emotional, yet highly revered beings like Gautam Buddha? even Buddha was disenchanted by sufferings, emotions and chose to rise above that. was he also a form of Mr Macho?

Emotions master our lives and we obey them without realizing it.
