"Without Literature Life is Hell" -Charles Bukowski

     
                 

       Have you ever imagined yourself learning without reading? Have you ever realized what will happen if literature doesn’t exist?  Literature was found in the beginning of all things and continuously living throughout the ages. Long before human civilization, stories about gods and goddesses already existed. Long before languages have been invented, stories were already carved on tablet stones and on walls. Long before humans know how to read and write with the words that our ancestors created, literature already existed. Nowadays literature keeps on expanding and growing as time passes by. Literature is being used by humans in giving opinions and views in the situation of the society and the community. It is a one way to know, to learn and to discover the realities in life that people must be informed about. Without literature, life could become miserable.

     

           Charles Bukowski’s quote, “Without literature, life is hell”, can be reflected in the situation of a bird inside a cage, —cannot fly freely and express itself. This is what will happen when literature doesn’t exist. People cannot do what they want for themselves, people cannot express their desires in the society and people cannot fly to explore and discover more realities in life. Literature lets people reflect the life that they have into words, and that is important. Everything that happens in our daily lives could serve as an inspiration to others, especially in writing our experiences in the challenges that we encounter. Everything that happens in our society, like our own legacy and biography, can be written, recorded, and learned from a piece of literature. Literature also plays an important part in telling our history. This serves as our key to know more about what our future would become. Literature is like a vehicle in our life that leads us in the right path to be the best version of ourselves. Without literature, life is like living in hell where you drown in the river of fire and death. People seem to find it funny and uninteresting but them being unaware, they are already using it in their everyday lives. Once you realize the importance of literature, then you will be grateful that it exists. Without literature, life ceases to exist.
