Cross-Roads

Have you ever stuck to a principle/value/viewpoint in life for long and been in a mode of denial towards all those in disagreement to that viewpoint ?
Have you then, over a period of time, ever wondered if so many are against my viewpoint, is it the fault of the majority or my value system ?? :-O :-??
If so, how do you deal with such situations ?

A lot of us spend most of our time laughing at 'stupids', 'idiots' and 'despos' (I quote-unquote these words, because the people concerned are that only in our viewpoint and not by any particular general ruling). Things move on and at times it appears as if, those 'silly' people do achieve/get what they set-out for, stupid/idiotic as the means might be. And what happens to 'us' ? We too move on and find a new set of idiots/despos to laugh at. Are we losing sight of the bigger picture ? Should we abandon our value/viewpoint against stupidity and accept it as being 'normal', so that we too feel part of the majority ? Or should we be pig-headed and stick to it and comfort ourselves saying, "so what if the idiot got what he/she wanted... he/she only got another silly person". :-? /:)

Damn !!! I hate to think of the smirks on the faces of all those people whom I have laughed at. Damn ... they do deserve to have them. They are, after all 'winners' or should I say "Go-Getters", nonsensical as the approach maybe to my value system.

"so what if the idiot got what he/she wanted... he/she only got another silly person".
So it is about some "stupid" person you knew, getting somebody? ;)
I thought it was about some "silly" person you knew, achieving something great :-P

In today's world, it pays not to have an opinion at all...
play safe!

Prakash said...

Have opinions..dont be opinionated, though..!! Sometimes games are won, without having to fight...or atleast without showing you ever fought! ;) clutch to what you believe dude, but stay at the receiving end..! a good post, though!

Prakash said...

Thank you, Tamanna.

Reminds me of a calvin n hobbes quote, (Calvin after being bullied by Moe)
"Years from now when I'm successful and happy, ...and he's in prison... I hope I'm not too mature to gloat."

But what do we do when "Moe" succeeds? :)

Prakash said...

This is why, I love Calvin :D

Neha said...

That makes it two of us! :D
