"I go to seek a Great Perhaps."

L-R: Francois Rabelais, Looking for Alaska Book, and a portrait of the book's author, John Green.

This  phrase was used as one of the center themes for John Green's  bestselling novel, Looking for Alaska. Quoted by Francois Rabelais, a  French Renaissance writer, doctor and a scholar, was famous for this  phrase which was said to be his last words that intrigues many people  who have heard of it. We're all in search of our 'Great Perhaps',  whatever that 'Perhaps' is. As what was the novel is trying to point  out, this 'Great Perhaps' pertains to  the meaning of life-  understanding where we would fit in this world and how are we going to  live our lives, what is the reason behind all the situations that we are  experiencing, the possible things that we might encounter, what is  important and not and what can we do about it, whatever life really is  all about. In reality, many of us have a lot of questions about all the  things that we are encountering in life. We keep on finding answers to  the issues, may that issue be of our own or the society. But by looking  at the definition of 'Perhaps', we can say that there can be hope or a  big possibility that we can find the 'Great Perhaps' that we are trying  to seek.

To help others find  their 'Great Perhaps', our group have decided to come up with a blog  focusing on contemporary realism in hopes of showing readers the hidden  beauty and lies of everything we encounter. We believe that we can  easily express and make the readers immerse in old and new issues  through contemporary realism. Sitting in between the classic and the  modern times, the blog may be not be only considered as conservative,  but as well as open to new ideas found within our time. Broadly defined  as “the faithful representation of reality”, Contemporary Realism aims  to represent subject matter truthfully, without artificiality. This  attempts to reveal the truth, giving due attention to every circumstance  of subjects and situations conditioned by heterogeneity of ideas and  entities. As part of the modern generation, this theme would unleash our  true feelings that would make our articles turn into great  masterpieces. It will reflect the reality seen by our naked eyes, by the  eyes of the young people who seeks for development. Through this blog, our questions about our 'Great Perhaps' may be answered.
