We, the living

While going through my drafts,I stumbled across this one from my student times..this is a very interesting read and provocative too.donno hw I missed publishing it..so here we go..
We the people ..
I dont understand why man considers himself a big screaming deal!I mean, after all , we are insignificat titbits, squatting in a lost planet, somewhere in the solar system,which is at the edge of a galaxy,which really is a tiny part of a supergalaxy, which is inturn,a speck of the universe. Atleast with the discovery of all these entities, you would think that man has atlast realised his place in the scheme of things.

Bingo!!There you are! what are you talking kid!! We mighty humans never do or imagine anything that detriments our ego.

You see,irrespective of the different kind of jobs we take up, all of us can be classified into the following six types,which incidentally, is the answer to the question,'Who are you?'
Answer1.
Im a ambitious go-getter.

Well this is the most common answer that could be got, although it has good competition from the next one. Lets take a closer look at this one.. A go-getter..Mmm..you were the one who wanted to be the first ranker from child hood are'nt you? The guy who would whine and plead to the teacher about getting that two marks , which would make you get the first rank.And it seems you have'nt given up your habit,even though your childhood is now as distant as the andromeda galaxy!From appraisals to getting the first seat in the bus...Maan!!Is there anything else which deserves more passion?Can anything be flaunted more than your first rank? Your most emotional dream during the kiddo days should be the scene where you come home running , with a cup in your right hand, and shouting 'Mommyyyyy...I got the first rank!!!!'.No wonder, you consider every challenge till today as a school exam and want to secure the first rank.

Well,then there is this second answer.

Answer2.Im a people's person

Welcome home brother!!..I expected you..Come near, so that we could see you clearly...Hmm Its a very interesting coincidence that many of the managers consider themselves a peoples person..You thought(and many of you still think)  you were the twenty first century equivalent  of mafio dons of yesterday year isnt it? The sort of types with deep booming voices and tellin people 'I'l make an offer you cant refuse!!'.Well, to tell you the truth..I must admit that we love you ppl !!If not for you guyz, Our days at Office would have been boring and rather uninteresting..What a mighty power you wield?We just tremble at the sight of you and kneel before you and beg for mercy..The Great Almighty!!Have pity on us ,the weak and the meek!!!

Frankly speaking,Did you beleive any of the above statements? I know you dont! You know that you cannot do anything to an offender.You cannot hold a gun at his head and tell him with a deep throated menacing voice, 'You have Offended the DON!!'. Nor can you punch a daring subordinate in his face and make him see stars.Much less of these, Can you atlleast fire someone??Aah!!I touched a raw nerve dint I? All the power that you wield, is actually given to you by the same subordinates, who wanna please that portion of your body which is round, which is cleaved into two, the equivalent of which in cars is called as the exhaust pipe..:)

Alrite..The one over there..Yes you..May you stand up so that the crowd can see you!
Who art thou?
Im an Individualistic person..

Aah.An intelligent answer..Just fits the image of what you think you are. But son!Isnt it true that you became an individual because the society refused to accept you? You whined, cried and cribbed.No one turned up.Disgusted and heartbroken you chose the next best thing. Who is this society to accept you? You wont accept this society! As time passed,you started beleiving it tooo..Like to think of everything logical dont ya?How bout this? You say you are an Individual. Awsome..But why do you accept your place and live in a society? Is not society by its definition is a group of individuals coming together to live for the betterment of the common? To put it clearly for a dumb like me, does it not mean that you lose a part of urself as payment to the security and better life which is guaranteed by the society.Well, then..logically speaking, why dont you move out and live in your own..Denying society and people?.Naah..You wont....We have a name for just the type like you.We call you ppl parasites. You suck the blood out of the society,where you need it.But when it comes to living , its your own life.

Ohkay..This is getting real interesting..whoz next in line?
Who are you?
Im the 'live the moment' guy....

Oh..you are 'that' guy!!You know you wont think of future because its difficult.All that you would want to do is to have a free lunch as long as it gets...No efforts, no pain.call it nirvana,or 'seeking new experiences' or any new -age terminologies you like,..but there is a organism that lives in the moment that you mite want to learn lessons from..it's called the VEGETABLE..

Next...
Hmmm.....
Im the 'emotional' guy
Why do I get reminded of a baby which cried once and on seeing that people try to comfort it, developed that habit of crying? Beware Johny!! You are just a step below the 'Individual' Guy. Im sure you wud move on to 'being an Individual' soon..All the very best..

Whoz nextt?
Pray answer thy swine!
Im the 'GOD'
Ah you are..aren't you..by your logic every one is a god isn't it? So here is me, A god, telling you,another god, politely to go and indulge in the act of 'making love' to yourself ..

See..Every body jus thinks that he is what he would like himself and others to see him as.But jus dig deep enough and you will find that he is just that.no big screaming deal!!!..
So a section of you might ask
.Who are you to judge so and so as so and so.
who am I?
Well,First of all, I consider myself to be a big screaming deal!!!:D
I thrive by offering my simplistic opinions and ridicule anyone who differs with me..
I laugh at people becoz deep inside, Im unsure of myself nd Im incapable of laughing at myself.
I try to win admiration by slapping mud over others..
In short im just like every one you ..except ..im better..
