The tail of masses

Humans, like me, over-weigh even a slightest bit of change that involves a big visual change in environment and forget to pay attention to details, the small changes with small change in contrast. Let me give you an example, today my father sent me to the local bank for purposes of collection of some kind of fees. I was totally upset. Its like 40 Degree Celsius here and the system is like, “Why do I have to go physically to a bank branch for this thing that can be done with just a command from a thing as little as a phone?”. But it’s Pakistan, our parents don’t listen. If you’ve got a problem, there’s one thing certain, if you don’t solve your serial problems then please know one thing is certain that our parents won’t listen. Its a perfect situation that reminds of a story from history, there was once an engineer(these were old times like Greek era-ish) who was sent a command to sent ships. He sent ships that he thought would be good for the battlefield rather than the actual ships ordered. Guess what happened, the King summoned the engineer and first politely listened to all the argument engineer had to present. Once he was done, King took out his sword and slaughtered the engineer. Two things to learn from here, first the King demanded something, even though it was not good for battlefield but saw something else i.e. the inconsistency. This inconsistency fueled by his anger and his ego compelled him to slaughter the engineer. But on the engineer’s point of view, if he saw an instant loss and must’ve thought it is his “duty to inform”, after all he was the engineer, right? I think personally he should have let the guardsmen take the ships ordered and when they lost battle, now he has a powerful position, he can take advantage of this inconsistency that’s on King’s part, something King could feel and realize and be open to further suggestions. So next engineer should’ve presented his hypothesis, even so carefully not to make a mistake. This is called, “Argue with action and not with words”.

What’s dangerous is to stay in toxic positions knowing they are dangerous for you. For most people, FOMO compels them to post pictures on social media and show off the new car they were given from the bank they were hired recently to work for.

This is this society-at-large. We know each other only by their roles. The societal roles. Brother expects his peers to act in a way society always expects them to, not knowing each other on a personal level. This creates very bad misunderstandings. For example one relative I know(we don’t know each other much, I don’t know him much, neither he does) and to him my role is to work like hell, go to high school/college, well that’s what the good children do right? The ones that society expects to be right whether they are right or far from right in actuality. This is the example of today’s world. We do small talks with people who we know or at least are close in relation. Is this how our world was supposed to be? People expected to work like bees or insects? I think if we just solve these little issues and root them out(which is impossible and fruitless thing to do). So I encourage you to change your social circle. Are you in a place where people do not identify what unique value you bring to the table as a human being rather than being just a husband, a son or a brother/sister. Do not let folly of masses fool you. Its easy to believe and label things as right or wrong and become part of some cult or organization. But I think it is wise to consider that you only get one single dumb brain in your whole entire fucking life, does it seem right to switch off your creativity and listen to your bosses or that email inbox all day long? If you do believe that then please know your brain has turned into cabbage.
