Without deep discussion, simple answers to these questions can be like this. Whatever a writer does or has to do besides acting like a common man is in fact under the influence of his inner demand. The fulfillment of this demand is proof of being a man of letters. He lives apparently in the world ours but he also inhabits a world inside of his own. This inner world is very important, very broad, has a lot of meaning, and is real for him. He cares a lot about it. We see in the art of a writer that the instrument of well-being and sempiternity of his inner world are his thinking, wishes, and emotions. How much this inner world of him is vast and polychromic and how he handles it decides his greatness of being a writer.
A writer always searches for the point of contiguity between his inner and outer worlds and when he finds this, he connects both worlds with it. With help of this connection, he tries to know the essence of human life on a big canvas and tries to find the reality of his own existence. He ponders upon the quality of human determination and action. He always remains in struggles to know the quality or difference of the relationship and ratio between destiny and tactics. Stimulant is working in the background of all this struggle which means the wish to know the essence of life and make it more meaningful. This is the actual thing that makes the plausible expression more effective for a writer and gives water to his art. we see our own face in this water of his art and sometimes rises a new face of life. It is not necessary that this action must be pleasant each time, it can be awful also and sometimes even embarrassing, painful, and incredible. But however, a great writer illuminates the candle of possibility and keeps the door of hope open in discouraging and extremely difficult, and complex situations. He never let life to the point of unbearableness.
We can find all these parameters in the literature of any language in the world with slight variance. It means studying the literature of any religion and community, and we find that its world evolves under the same parameters. However, the men of letters of the present era are facing a different kind of problem. They are thoroughly studying that the literature of today's world is still base upon these parameters. This question arises due to the clear perception of scholars that the era of the twenty-first century is different from all the previous eras in its behavior and foundation. This world of virtual reality is a lot different. We see that politics and economics are not only two topics or subjects but they are such a reality of today's world in the middle of which the pendulum of human life is oscillating. Impassiveness and nonchalance have been promoted in the human community today. We see in the history of civilizations that under political and economic situations, social behaviors evolve but the change in this century is unprecedented. Such evolution can't be witnessed in the history of human civilization. The sources of development play a vital role in this evolution like social media. The biggest event is just a clip or image on social media without considering whether the nature of the event is pleasant or otherwise and how it will affect your nerve. your reaction is predetermined about this. A pleasant flower with a bright butterfly on it, dreams in the bright eyes of an attractive face, a passing wave of the ocean ruining town after town, a skeleton of bones due to hunger and illness, or the dead body of a child lying on the beach of the sea invite you a silent approval or dump expression not to react in a certain way. There is no room or no need for your personal feelings or emotions. You have been made to believe this matter without being said anything. This is very simple. You have been provided with demarcated premises for expressing your feelings or emotions.
Look carefully at the world of a writer. Remember that a writer lives in two worlds at a time. Today his outer world doesn't demand to articulate but persistently insists to make him dumb. He has given only the right to give a like or predetermined expression and his inner world is flooded with the painful noise of reaction due to the insisting dumbness. The outer "like's" deep silence swallows him entirely and mountains scattering noise crushes his nerve. How stressful and depressing life of the today's writer is.
It is very difficult for a common man to keep his nerve normal in this new world of the modern era but it becomes an even more difficult test for a writer. He doesn't only have to keep his nerve normal but also to provide equipment for keeping his readers and listeners in a normal state of mind. He also faces another big test of knowing the actual reality in the world insisting to be real or equal and that reality is the real source of sempiternity for social morality and collective consciousness.
Today a writer lives with his feelings. He thinks, writes, speaks, asks, tells, understands, and makes to understand. These people dream of a world that has been stuck in the quagmire of reality. They make people dream, they live for dreams, and they teach them to live for dreams. Thus the writer of the twenty-first century is really in a world which is digital and reflects simulations instead of reality.
