Comma


Like I said I'm going to write about The Comma.
It comes under recent obsessions.

The Comma. Its a punctuation mark of the English Language.According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word comma comes directly from the Greek word komma 
(κόμμα) which means something cut off or a short clause.

A comma is used at the baseline of a sentence unlike an apostrophe,
It looks like a little shooting star I feel, with a big bright ball and a little star tail,
Shooting stars are beautiful, Aren't they?
They are gorgeous flashes of fading light that tell you to hope and to keep going on,
They do not mark an end but they mark existence,
They are wishing stars too, 
I just paused the previous sentence with a comma :)

Talking about commas, they mark a  pause but not an end. A full-stop marks an end. It marks a period.
Commas signify continuity,
They are so synonymous to knowledge because knowledge is never ending.
I love using lots of commas in my writing,
They signify the continuity of my thoughts and the way my mind goes from one thought to another.
They form a relationship between one sentence and another with a short pause.
I think commas are as beautiful as shooting stars.
They tell you not to give up and end the thought and to keep writing.
They tell you to keep reveling in the beauty of the maze of words and derive a meaning out of it.
They tell you to differentiate yet combine and derive a meaningful sentence.

Commas could symbolize life because they tell you to keep going on gracefully deriving happiness from each phrase or in life's term a phrase could be a phase of life.
The physical situation where a person's brain is dysfunctional for a period of time is called a "Coma".
Today I feel, it is derived from "Comma"  because it marks a pause but not death. It marks hope for the loved ones and gives us a chance for a miracle.
A fullstop could possibly mark permanence or death.
Nothing is permanent, Therefore a Comma,
Much love,
