...and... what's the point?

We the people are born, brought up, bullied by parents, friends and relatives, barred from FREEDOM, basically constrained in the society by the society with the society inclusive of our parents and others'. We play games, quarrel with friends at school and while playing, compared with other friends who are better off than us presumably only in their grades, people fail to see that a kid is good with something that their parents are not aware of, or act they are not aware of 'cause they fear to tread that path and it remains as the Road NOT taken.

Brothers and sisters intimidate you either because they were raised that way or probably they just do not want you to try something new. Fellow members of the family either curb you from progress or drive you crazy to indulge in crazier things that they want to know how it would be to commit one... Parents do not have the time to take care of you or they ignore 'cause you do not possess what their older one possess - Good grades for one? (or may be the ONLY ONE)? ;-) OR they have YOU "embroiled" in several things in one-day that is beyond a physical human being's capability or energy levels. Boy!! you suck at that, the next thing you know is bad rapport across the board - apartment/house/friends/relatives.

You are there to shine in glory for life is short and everybody is racing against time to be #1 and is the ONLY ONE of the glorious many aspects of life. Society treads the path what other million treads 'cause that is the corollary/theorem and criteria. To win in life you better "Study" and "Sing" and "Dance". While you are at it, make sure that you are #1 in ALL OF IT. Mother Earth gave me 24-hours of which she wanted me to sleep for AT LEAST 6 hours and give myself 4 hours to brush my teeth/visit the restroom/bathroom/get ready for day-time/and to maybe think about myself and what I want to be. She provided me with 8 hours of schooling for education (the RIGHT WAY of education is something I am still doing some soul-searching on) leaving me with 2 hours of precious time that I "possibly" use for playing and burn out that young-mind's stress.

"Thou Shall NOT rest or play" says the society and makes me want to excel in something that I am not sure if I would but they insist. You SING or you DANCE or have some extra-curricular activity that my society wants or does (or my parents want or thought they should've done in their age of innocence). We are raised in a land/sea/air of competition adding to the sad part is the fact it is not healthy anymore. It is a comparative competition that kicks off a radical society filled with jealousy, hatred, segregation, separatism, racism, underestimation and much much more. To be or NOT to be is the question in your mind everyday!!

For those who excel but not to the extent of climbing the mount Everest, their minds are instilled with the thought that they have achieved enough to bully millions of underdogs around them. They are not taught to understand and undertake responsibility to educate the underdogs but to make them work for them or look down on them to ignore or segregate them from their elite group that performs or achieves. Short-term victories are seemingly their long-term goals and there is no end in sight for their contention. Those inglorious victories that are never thought of as 'short-lived' and those that made it possible are forgotten but the own self that thinks only their body, mind and soul made it happen.

Everybody wants to be #1 but ONLY a few travel that extra mile to be PERFECT and SHUT UP. Those that are in the process of claiming to be #1 never get there but act as if they already are. They do not respect those that are below their 'Par' and they are prostrate in front of the #1s who have been there done that 'cause the "pretending to be #1s" think/know that they cannot be #1s for obvious reasons. Their Edging God Out (E G O) hurts them on the inside but they project otherwise on the outside.

The above habit started in the yester years became a practice and NOW the LAW!! The society is clouded by the thoughts and decisions that engulfed the selfish parents and society's ambiance to leave the modern era with zillions of such specimen to hurt the underdogs even more. The society was supposed to provide the underdogs with a team that will pave the way for him/her to be #1 and be part of the contribution rather than trying to be #1 as an individual. People were dominated and curbed from their progress for little or no reason. Selfish parents poisoned the minds of many who already were enough selfish to create serial killers, sex offenders, bureaucrats, "bad" politicians, corrupted officials, deceiving businessmen, half-baked artists, uncooth human beings and such bad elements. All such bad elements wants to eradicate the concept of being good and needs the spiritual air of B A D.

The society does not want to praise the adeptness in one area and the lack of the other for the one you lack is the one society expects you to possess. If you are adept in one area the society does not believe you do, it is not praised for you are not eligible to possess that gift of wisdom. You lose your respect no matter how you try to prove it. The home does not respect you and so the society follows. Does this all lead to a kid to grow up and hurt a few more emotionally or physically? Does the societal repercussions catches up on those that wanted to lead a normal and ideal life? Does that make him/her the worst of ALL for they were already given a bad rap sheet in the society? Do we find the root cause? Is there a rampant identity crisis going on in the society that makes each of us let down the others that are next or in front of us?

and all these for what? I want to be number ONE!? so, what's the point???
