LITFILI ?: Prelude to the Literature of the Future

Humanity is continuously becoming. It is yet to evolve towards its true pure form. And we can see in our literature how we have changed from how we were in the past and how we are now in the present. Literature is a reflection of our experiences.



Some canon literary works, specially some of those we have read in our class, show so much oppression. It viewed women as weak and promoted a more conservative society. While our contemporary writers show how much we value liberty and equality nowadays. The evolution towards liberal thinking was not a choice for humanity -- it was inevitable. We have finally had enough of the past's discriminatory policies and conservative values. And so contemporary writers are no longer afraid of going against customs or traditions. Fuck the past. We have proved it to be wrong. But as I have said humanity is continuously becoming and there is still a lot of things to change concerning our current policies and values.

"And when men become free then mankind will be free.
May you be free of The Curse of Greyface.
May the Goddess put twinkles in your eyes.
May you have the knowledge of a sage,
and the wisdom of a child.
Hail Eris."

In the future, they would probably laugh or get bored when they read our literature now. They would think some of our policies and values are stupid and ignorant just as how we think that the subjugation of women and conservatism of the past was wrong.

SOMEWHAT IRRELEVANT REMINDER: They put Galileo behind bars.

So I guess all I really want to say is that Contemporary writers are more liberal. so we should be more liberal as contemporary people. Ok, ngayon kain ka na. Or matulog. ikaw bahala.
