Mediocrity

Mediocrity is the art of the society. Just as a book is a reflection of the thoughts perceived, a society is a reflection of hypocrisy and mediocrity. That which is disguised and is in the garb of sophisticated perfection.
Why has it been that all the stalwarts and thinkers of our society had always been criticized at the advent of a new thought? Why is it that every new thinker and every person who goes beyond the normal way of thinking has been criticized?
Guess the only answer which lies is the art of staying in the comfort zone. The concept of accepting the herd mentality as the individual thought and content is absent. As the individual opinion is absent, thereby the mind accepts the thought which is freely available, risk-averse. This to the height of being hypocritical the individual will accept the universal thought, however wrong or dreadful it may be.
Mediocrity has seeped to its highest extent and here I stand making my mind as to take the path of mediocrity or sole pure thought which is individualistic. Barren minds take such path. The ones who have mediocrity or the so called art of perfection deeply rooted in their blood. Confused minds could never be productive but shall always be swayed in the path of misbelief and misconstrued truth.
Work itself is the reward and faith. How can anyone be so nonchalant so as to take the support of misgivings and false prowess? How has the society been so naked in its followed faith? How can anyone not know what the sole truth has always been? Why do we require false manifestations to make the truth stronger? Isn’t the truth not strong in its mettle? Why have we as a group of individual, an organization, as a school of thought been so prejudiced and weak in our belief and faith that we have trespassed the emblem of truth? Of the truth which has always been. Of the facts which have always been. This has happened to that deep extent that mediocrity has seeped in the sacred path of love too. Don’t we fear and fail to accept individuals who don’t not fall prey to the standards of society. Don’t we ourselves try to free us from these beings?
I have stagnated myself to the maximum extent while being made to believe these erroneous and so called true facts of the society. I find no salvation or happiness in accepting the false belief which are portrayed as true facts. I may not have stood tall to these beliefs; however I have stood tall in my own eyes. Within me, I have known what I have been. And I find no exigency in saying or proving it to the other members of the society. However, as I am part of this social system, I have been supposed to follow its fallacy. And here I stand tortured and distressed. The magnitude is further enhanced when I am made to believe that the thoughts are pure.
Why the society lacks a conscience? Why does it not stand on its own feet but requires the crutch of the make belief world which we ourselves have created? I shall stand and stay tortured. But I shall not accept these. This is because hypocrisy and mediocrity may be twins but they certainly do not exist in my world. At the end of the day I shall not live a life of a second hander who doesn’t think but thrives on the primary thought of the creator, of the seeker. I shall be proud enough to live the life of the primary seeker, who may be a failure in the mediocre person’s eyes but who shall be the winner in his own. And then I shall answer myself. And I will attain bliss. Pity those who won’t. But the agony is they won’t even realize that they haven’t for they will be at the epitome of mediocrity and hypocrisy.
The society gains leaders made out of the hypocrisy. And such a society perishes and never goes ahead. And this further marks the demarcation of it from purity. And thereby giving people the very existence which they deserve. Of mediocrity. Of lack of individuality. They never get a reason to complain. However, at the advent of termination of a birth or even productivity a man lingers to the existing thought in spite of knowledge of the fact that the ideology has been fake. A birth gone wrong. A life swayed by secondary thoughts. The misery of a whole society and thereby of mankind.

  2. Excellent article. Have you composed this by yourself? Looks like, there is some influence of Ayn Rand's philosophy on it. In any case, a really nice one.

    Even I feel, that society just accepts things as given to it. If staying naked would've been the general fashion, people would've laughed at the persons who would've worn clothes.

    Congrats, for writing this post! Good job!
