Ironic...

History has proved it over and over and it still prevails. People who are different, who eventually change the course of history are the ones who receive hatred and ridicule through out. Those heads that define a purpose and try to achieve it, are the ones who are labeled "freaks". They who build the world are the ones left alone by the world.

We all do it, knowingly or unknowingly and almost everyday! If someone introduces a new process, our first instinct is to say No. If someone is prompt in his work, we call him "fanatic". If one likes to keep things in order, we call her "crazy". If one wants things to be done right and proper, we say she is asking for too much. It looks like these are minor things, something to make fun of. But they are not. Inside, each one of us knows its dark reality (in a rude way we mock our own incapability and complexes) and real extent. We have this unique capacity to build in shame in a born righteous.

Why is it so difficult to accept that people can think different? Why cant we appreciate intelligence, in the face of it? Why is expecting perfection, asking for too much? Why is a mediocre mind more confident to speak out loud and gain compliance? What makes incompetency a virtue? How can a common belief, though incorrect, turn down biggest of ideas? Whats the force that makes it stand so firm? Does this strength arise from the cumulative of all commons? I guess it builds itself on the foundations of insecurity, cowardice and sloth. Conformity is an easy escape, almost always.

And then we long for a radical change. We hopelessly hope for someone to bring this in (which again we know clearly, is not feasible). Secretly, all of us long for a Super-Hero. But do we really deserve one? Why should we get one when we cant recognize and appreciate the bits of him that are spread all around us!
