on old age

the goblin's madness continued with the goblin explaining "...in the old age home next to where I live, I always see two types, those "fighting on" types, and the other "letting go" types, but their lesson here goes largely unnoticed by society in general, where they're just ignored, hushed up, and tucked away like this, but all the same, it is something so simple, simply, that if one is lucky to live into retirement in relatively good health, one had better take into account the meaning of remaining mentally active, and socially engaged too, before one gets there...", in fact, the goblin felt that by now he had seen too many unprepared old people mentally rot and flounder in an enviable situation of "retirement" with its rest and freedom, and all simply because they hadn't the slightest idea what to do with themselves there, making the goblin sum things up by saying "...naah, it's not rot in hell as they say, actually between the two extremes it's more like rot in heaven isn't it..."

"...naah, I can't write for real because here is all virtual reality instead..." replied the goblin, thanking DDave for his conjecture though, then adding "...and what's another word for "virtual reality" well that would be "fiction" I suppose, yes it's all fiction where you and I are justfictional within it...", in fact, the goblin was finding it hard to keep up with the comments and PMs, smiling "...so far so good, any worse and it would be easier..."

Your entire message is obscured by that dumb a*s third person approach. Nothing you write is complicated or profound, you just try and make it so with your gimmick and intelligent readers can see that. The desperate try hard "to see how special i am" approach is not going to get you anywhere.
Is your ego really so unjustifiably huge you can't see that? Ugh... Kiddo... you could be decent but not like this. You're a joke as it stands... and not in a good way.

Try writing for real. If you can.

The fact that you felt the need to leave that response twice betrays your idiotic vanity. It's so pathetic how hung up on popularity you are.
(sigh).... I tried to help, you're just too stupid to understand how idiotic and ineffectual your gimmick is. No one is laughing with you, just at you. And that's not even really true... because no one is even looking to begin with. (justifiably so, as you're not a good writer)

"...vanity is when I don't respond, I'm anonymous, and when you understand that I'm anonymous is when you start seeing that none of what you say hits the mark..." replied the goblin wondering if more popular anonymity could even exist, smiling "...how many years now poet, I mean it's near half a million views on writersbeat, time enough to prove me wrong but all you have are your conjectures, so link me to your readership instead, then I'll change my ways to yours, I mean isn't that correct between us..."
