Please Do Not Read This

Its funny that even after reading the title you decided to read further. But, I urge you to stop reading this article any further. Seriously, there is nothing interesting in this passage. There is no tell tale, no romance, no gossip, no diet meal plans, no blonde jokes, no celebrity wardrobe malfunction, no political mockery, no hidden sarcasm, and definitely no naughty bedroom secrets. There is practically no reason for you to go on any further, so Please stop reading NOW.

By now I presume that you are definitely not in a mood to listen. I wonder why you are reading this even after being obstructed repetitively. They say that the greatest need of the 21st century man is the need to be entertained, engaged and involved. People watch TV, wait in day long queues to buy a new mobile phone, flirt in clubs eyeing for a date, numb their senses over a cold beer in a sweaty concert, travel miles to visit an amusement park.  You should stop reading this right away. Look away ! The only thing that catches my attention is that you could be doing anything else in the world right now, yet you chose to read something that you were specifically asked not to. 

Among the sacrifices made to obey instructions there is not one that equals the pleasure obtained in outraging them.

“Forbidden Fruit is the Sweetest.”

I have never been good at taking instruction. Yes, we push boundaries as poets and often live on the bittersweet edge of life. Thank you for taking us there.

I like you. Haha. I loved this; I can honestly say I don't remember coming across a piece of writing like this before. I can't name anyone else who has thought to write like this, as uncomplicated as it is; very unique, very entertaining, very provoking (in positive ways, of course). I have to say something, however, regarding my own reasons to defy your instructions. I am a strong believer in the idea that everything serves a purpose. If something has been created, if something exists, if I can experience something - in this case, read it - then there is nothing in this world that can stop me from experiencing that thing and trying to determine its purpose. Part of me read simply because you told me not to, this is true. But a larger part of me read because I knew the thing had been written and so was a part of the world now, whether it was meant to be or not, and I was going to do everything in my power to explore that new part.

That , dear woman , is the gift of curosity. Keep that light burning within you, it can do wonders

You ask a boy, or a girl, not to press a button and that's the only thing he would want to do. I read through it because I'm a man-child and doing what I am told not to do is just what I am supposed, or rather destined, to do.

The surest way to get people to read something is to tell them not to.
