Mystery

By mugen shiyo · Aug 12, 2011 · ·
  1. The power of mystery is almost synonymous with gravity. You ever met a mysterious person? Sometimes, try as you might to ignore, their mystery is so compelling, you find yourself wanting to explore it. Finding out what's beneath and why. How does it tick?

    But mystery isn't charm. Mystery is enhanced by charm. A boring world that yields no secrets gathers no followers. People do not know what happens inside a dust ball and don't care. To be mysterious, one must be charming. Inviting, yet revealing. Tantalizing, yet secretive. Seductive...in my opinion.

    Hmmm... interesting. I guess it works that way for most men. Maybe I'm just a weirdo in that I prefer to have everything out in the open--complete transparency and openness. For me to feel "safe" emotionally and physically, I like to know as much about the person as possible, and I don't like to think about shadowy secrets. If I felt that there was something secretive going on, I'd walk away faster than...<insert a non-cliched simile.>

    Everyone wants to know everything, men and women. A book (or person) that doesn't eventually reveal the mysteries it presents in the beginning come off as a frustration. But in the beginning, we can be drawn to the mystery we see or the unanswered questions that get brought up and we engage further to find out the answers. Curiosity is what makes mystery so alluring, plus the hint of risk or danger involved.

    I couldn't have said it better myself.

    People seem to have a sense of curiosity that drives them and when you keep the path exciting and unpredictable it just makes them want to know the truth that much more.
