Truth is stranger than fiction.........
There is general tendency to read fictions (novels and short stories) in order to find thrills and excitement and thus to relieve the boredom of life. It is not realized by one that truth or actual accidents of life proved more excitement and thrills than even fiction. We read stories of crime and detection because we feel the need of sensation. But crimes actually committed and manner of their investigation are even more sensational than fictional crimes and their detection. In ingenuity, in planning and in brutality actual crimes surpass the fictional crimes. Matricide, patricide, fratricide, infanticide, homicide, and suicide al are reported by news papers and the accounts of these are hair-rising. Bank hold-ups, highway robberies, smugglings, abductions, kidnappings, criminal assaults on woman, and rape these and similar other outrages as reported by news paper are more sensational and fascinating that the fictional fare served by story writers. The amorous and sexual adventures of Christine Keeler were found to be stranger and more interesting then those of Madam Bovary. The dramatic rescue of hostages by Israeli commandos at Entebbe airport was more astonishing and thrilling than any fictional episode of the same kind. The assassination of former prime minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto shaheed was more breathtaking, sensational, and baffling than anything in fiction. Indeed, real life offers stranger things than the imagination of a story writer can invent |
