The Truth

'Survival of the fittest'. Long been hearing this nature's practically experimented statement. Be it animals or humans, this theory has been the base of the evolution theory known to this modern world of ours.It is the same theory that relates to the fast-paced, competitive human world.


My question. The Truth. Who is the fittest? The most talented, intelligent and wise people might prove to be inappropriate and inadequate. Its the clever and smart ones.Or clearly stating, the FAKE ones. Or maybe the wise ones with latter's qualities. This world is not hard to survive,but to grow, to flutter one's wings in a desired direction IS. I might sound arrogant when I call the leaders in this race 'fake'. But they would rather themselves give reasons for this in a better way. Being fake is not at all being a criminal. But why is there need of appeasement or flattery in this world? Why isn't having potential and performing simultaneously the sole criteria to grow and succeed?

I am not questioning any law of nature, which in Ayn Rand's words is 'a thing one could not question, alter or implore'. These are the evils in the society creeping out of human greed, fear of loss; which in turn is possibly due to dearth of skills and talent. Worthy or not worthy. Like it or not.


In retrospect, the cleverer and smarter ones in the society had probably instilled this into the procedures pertaining to this society. I find it ironic why I feel least bothered each time a terrorist plants a bomb in a populated area, to kill. I dont intend to prove myself a visionary or smarter than the others. Simple and clear, this is what I felt; What I have known.

Why is there a practical aspect to every existing view in this world? Idealism definitely does not exist beyond God, if He does. But non-practical and ideal are not same in any case. But niether are real and practical. This world has no room for variations. You try to put in your views and ideas and you are proved to be pretentious- or even self-righteous.This is not a pessimistic thought. I would ask you to be 'practical' here.

I had hard time trying to swallow this in. And I am afraid I couldn't. I am talking about being original. Being oneself, the original character. A day I was struggling in the kitchen, when my mother told me simply, you don't put in masala in a plain khichdi, and nor do you prepare a curry without spices. Why cant this world be as simple as that? Why does everything need to be marketed? Rebranded to please? To appease?


Who will change this? I am no revolutionary. No. I don't wanna be. Can I just be me? I write this because I feel something is wrong out here. Many of you might agree with me, with the same questions, baffling your mind. If you dont, you might wonder if I am confused. Let me clear your confusions, I am.

Great men existed in every century. They were great, no doubt. 'Great' within those hundreds of boundations of this fake world. Famous lines- You don't change the system. The system changes you. Ironic, that this line has a potential to be a universal truth. Whoever revolted, either perished or was subdued. I dont wanna change myself. No rebranding. I'm not for sale. I choose to perish. Let me perish; into oblivion.
