I always thought writing was easy. But when you want to write some thing you realize how difficult it is. This is a common problem not only to novices like ourselves but also to prolific writers.
Recently i got my hands on to very fascinating book named the "Human Zoo".actually what I'm reading is the Sinhala translation of it.The original literature was done by the zoologist Desmond Morris.The author successfully tries to convince the reader that "man" is essentially an animal, and whatever the advances we have made today we still haven't been able to conquer the inner animal tendency and the common tribal behavior. He also points out though the man has evolved tremendously as a super tribe he has not evolved biologically to bare the great burden put upon by the civilization. He also speaks about self imposed restrictions upon the human being and tries to logically point that we are no better than some caged animals. But nevertheless he is not altogether pessimistic. He shows us that wen use our infinite brain power to solve these problems to some extent. I think reading this book worth its time.
