Ailing Society

(the 3rd part of misconception saga)

Life is not a competition with anybody. It is a test of a person's ability to work for things he is ought to do. It's not with how many individuals have you slain along your way, but it is with how far have you done in the course of the performance of your work.

There are living individuals who are very much pleased of the merits and recognitions they reaped as they are moving towards the ages of their lives. However, most of these men didn't realize that they may be just a big fish in a small pond. Most of us are fascinated when receiving an award, but we do not look into the deeper meaning of recognition; we may be a meritorious person among the non performers.

In every work that was tasked to us, performance matters. We do not work to finish a task; we work to aim that we can make great things. Doing your part is not enough. Tapping the other person, but with no avail, will never be accepted as a reason. Take initiative. Output matters; doing your best for a lack of output expected in you could not offset the reality that you are a 'non performing.'

Plato and other early learned men of this world framed the concept of an ideal society. Various theories had came out throughout the ages about how should we view an ideal society. Of these theories, none has been reached as time changes. They remain as visions, and therefore, never realized.

Our world is blessed of many individuals who are trying to create a community that will serve the best interest of the greater number (of individuals). However, a much greater number of individuals are just contented with the way they do things, yet they want to be somebody. If you want to achieve something; work for it. If you do not perform your job, you deserve to fall (this is what we call real justice – to give the person what is due to him).

James Thurber hoped for the achievement of Human Dignity and of a better men, which were both a failure, for the ages that had passed. I say, A hope for a better men will never be an achievement of the majority because majority of men are living in mediocrity.
