Diaries, Part Six

When a writer or thinker writes his memoirs or his autobiography, he contemplates, thinks, and chooses specific areas to present to the reader and deletes others, and the general product comes out in the form of a coherent story directed according to the writer's vision at the time of writing, but diaries differ from that, as they are a recording of the events, ideas, and concerns of the day, whether Whether it is important or not, it is like a camera that monitors what is happening on the external and internal levels without distinction, even if the product may appear chaotic, or be characterized by elaboration or mention of unimportant details, but at the same time it serves as a real microscope on what is happening within the formation of this character. All the small details are what shaped the personality of its owner, and they were written down without distinction or thought, especially since the owner was not writing them for the purpose of publication. Therefore, the disadvantage of this product in terms of its chaos and lack of consistency at times may become the same as its advantage in terms of presenting a true picture. Extremely honest. But it takes the reader patience and contemplation of the smallest details in order to realize how this character was formed.
