Fools all around


There is enough time to do everything that we want to, but, no time to do the thing we don't want to. We get up early in the morning and apart from the atheists, agnostics, et al. everyone bow to the supreme power above us and start a beautiful day, with some already starting to speculate how beautiful it is going to be, while the rest anticipating an ugly one as usual. We become what we think and we think what we know and we know what we learn and we learn what we are taught and we are taught by what we endure to what we become. This is a recursive function inside an infinite loop that each time the loop ends, our core value gets either incremented by a step forward, if we are determined of what we become or decremented by a step if we are still unaware of what is happening around us. Most of us tremble, buckle and get shattered when we meet the end of the loop, while considering the shift is rather easier than to go through the difficult times. But, one thing is for sure, one cannot learn cycling without falling down and one cannot learn swimming without drowning. The earlier it is the better it would be. The better we become the best we are.
It is all in the way that we perceive ourselves. When you think yourself to be a White tiger, you are one and when perceive yourself to be an ass, you become one. That is the difference between a white tiger and an ass. You can be a white tiger, but, need to become an ass. Once I told a friend, there are three stages to earn the tag "great". She didn't believe. But, it is so simple because we all, already made the first step. That is "we all are gifted". The next step is to learn the way the system works and perform optimizing the system and the self. Maximizing our work as pleasure and minimizing the efforts that make us work. Play the game and fool the world. Fool it in such a way that you remain a fool to their eyes. That is when you graduate the second stage. Do this on a consistent basis and that is when you win for the first time. Keep winning, after all success is a journey not a destination. Let them still believe that you are a fool, because the day they would come to know that you have been fooling them, that is the day you lose your wizardry. That is the day you retire from the pleasure that you have been serving and make an attempt to pass your wisdom to the next conqueror. This goes on and on only until the earth ceases to exist because there will always be "the great" who will run the world as long as he exists as a fool among the fools.
It is all just inside us - the enormous power to rule the world with the motion of our index finger. This enormous power is derived from the eternal quantity that we all have in equal amounts - TIME. Physics says Work/Time is Power. When time is constant for all of us, work is the only factor. When all power is inside us, time is with us; all we have to do is work and make a fool of
ourselves by reading such an article. Am I a fool in your eyes now?
