Yes, indeed it IS so. Whatever is real, always loses. Want proof? Just look around. Okay, let us begin with the so-called brands. Most people swear by brand products. Buying brand products is not only a craze, but a life time ambition for many.
The smart unorganised bazzar immediately takes advantage of, latches on to this yen. So in all sorts of "linking lanes" in all sorts of metros to taluka places, you would get a "gucchi", for example. Who would know the spelling that well, right?
Thus neither the brand is real nor the pleasure derived from it is real! Real often loses to reel, right? Look at the serials, for instance. Luckily for me, I never watch any. But a few I had to listen to because Aai used to watch them. Oh, yes, she, too, never liked the silly ones which she found plain boring, and instead preferred my kind, the Discovery or thev History Today or the National Geographic, the real ones!
In the reel one's, however, they would always show real horrors. Even in history based serials, there are very many reel based characters, events, feels! Know why? Whatever sells, sails!
Why even in the case of enviornment and nature about which everyone loves to sigh and cry crocodile tears over, the reel wins over the real. People prefer plants and flowers of the artificial variety over the real ones! Plastic wins here, too!
Be it relationships, be it products, in this post-capitalist, consumerist world, the real always loses!
Pratima@ The real is complex, the real is tough, the real requires efforts and patience. The reel is easy, simple, uncomplicated. Indeed who has the real time for the real these days! No wonder, the real loses.
