Book review: Adultery, Paulo Coelho.

This is a story of a woman, who has a job of a journalist, a successful spouse and 2 kids living in a posh house. She attends numerous parties, and gets to interview many famous public figures, politicians etc. For everyone else, she “has it all”. But she still thinks something’s missing out from her life. What could it be? Can it be passion? Or her monotonous days are just boring her? Is the fear of taking risks and having things changed the cause of it? Is adventure missing from her life?
Linda knows she’s lucky, but every morning she wakes up, the fact that its all going to be the same and nothing new makes her less thankful for the blessings. She needs a change, but is equally scared of a change.

Linda finds herself lonely, bored, and her days monotonous, and so she throws herself in an adventure, a risk which could change it all, but NOT a good change. She finds out her other side, one which is more careless and wild, one which is completely different from her usual self. The good mother and a wife, a respectable journalist disappear when she’s on her adventure.Whatever happens next is unpredictable, and can be destructing.

The story might get slow and less exciting for some reader as the story is paced with the character’s struggle and personality, and you might as well find Linda disgusting, selfish and self-absorbed. People might stop reading it because it might seem slow and impossible. But never think of putting Paulo’s book down, you never know what he’s going to bring up next. He never fails to teach his readers.

I might help

Its easy to say, and even more easier to imagine it in our heads, but it can be the most difficult thing to do for real; to let things go. All of us have gone through something, and if you don’t feel that you’ve seen such hardships, just know that a time comes in everyone’s life where everything seems to be falling apart. A time when everyone around you seems to be in a better state than you, the people you care about the most hurts you the most, and you just cant let go. Even i know that feeling. And i know sharing your thoughts with someone doesn’t really get you anywhere, unless the other party actually cares (which is hardly seen nowadays, people are just curious).

So many people will tell you to let go, to move on. But easy said than done, right?
If anything is disturbing us, anything from our past, or present, maybe a person who’s constantly hurting you, the first thing you deeply have to realise is that if good times can end, bad times will end too. You cant keep on satisfying your heart with fake ideas that your mind itself doesn’t believe in. Be honest to yourself, and face the bad times by being practical

I keep a diary, I write down about things which make me sad, mad, or anything that makes me feel vulnerable. Let it be something from my past. This helps me let it all out, since human beings nowadays are not trust worthy enough. I wish i could help each and every sad person, I want to influence and inspire people.
Its a piece of advise, start writing you thoughts down. Cry, its not a bad thing and nothing to be ashamed of. Learn from your past, face all the hardships and don’t underestimate yourself. Forget about “letting go”, focus on doing something healthy for your own and hope that everything will be just fine. Just don’t exhaust yourself, don’t stress out, everything’s alright.
