Beyond the covers

- By Abigail Joyce C. Cahiwat, MSU-Marawi Intern

IN the real world is a society where everyone wishes to escape. And in comparison to places inside books where unicorns exist with improbable scenarios, is a world where everyone wishes to live.

Inside a book lie diverse personalit­ies, ideal individual­s, unique plots, mysteries, secrets that are yet to unfold. Between the gaps of paper reveals a whole new dimension where everyone wishes to escape. And in between the lines could give a message that would make you reflect your entire life. In the covers, provides a home that individual­s yearn of, a friend that longs for, and the knight and shining armor that is commonly dreamt of. Indeed, life inside this covers gives you a safe haven that wants you to stay forever and forget reality. The covers within – every chapter, paragraph, sentences and words, gives you a thorough reflection of life, and the components that go with it. It gives you the inclinatio­n of carrying on with this existence, because the characters also made it through. And truly, books are essential and vital to the human soul for it feeds the hunger that your own flesh couldn’t ever provide.

Books are amazingly beautiful, but if we could apply it to the real world with real individual­s existing, humanity would be so much better. These things are a vital help to cleanse our insides.

Still, cons exist in this ideal perfect world within the covers. For the fantasies in your mind is far-fetched to happen in reality. As human beings, we tend to set standards that makes us forget that these two diverse dimensions could be at some point the same, but is the contradict­ory of what you would expect. Because reality could provide you exquisite wonders beyond your minds capacity. Nature, Technology, Beauty, Wealth, Life and Love is what composes the world inside and outside the covers. But, these vital aspects are much better in reality. You could see through your eyes the beauty of trees, the skies, and the animals. Beauty as a whole would make you see creations that are varied and molded uniquely different. The need of wealth when used wisely could actually help humanity. Life is beyond what death couldn’t handle. And love? It’s by far the most soothing and wonderful emotion that you could ever believe, and all of these things could be achieved when you look beyond the covers.

Beyond the covers you find more than what meets the eyes. And beyond the covers is a picturesqu­e view right in front of you. You just need to see through it.
