Striving to be someone. Going after something. It is the same with everyone's life. Everybody is out there to prove something. But prove what. This unsatiable thirst to achieve and prove leads to what people call growth. But the only point is it is unsatiable. But it is so in only the successful ones. The commons have a philosophy and thinking of their own. They seldom think of big things and are happy if they had a stomachful each night and night after night.
So who is better?
This question is like two sides of a coin. Both has its pros and cons. One who wants to grow is ever perturbed and discontent. He rarely sleeps soundly in the night. Nothing seems to be up to the mark to him and excellence is a habit for him. So he seldom rejoices at the common joys of life as they are too commonplace for him to lower his guard and show his emotions. And to be very true to him, he doesn't feel much emotions at such prosaic occurances. He sees the best, tastes the best, feels the best but the best is just a matter of habit for him. It is nothing to be elated about. How could he ever but settle for the best?
While on the other hand, the simpleton is buoyed by the thought of receiving his salary at the end of the month and thinks of all the wonderful things he would buy out of it. The simple and cheap meals at the cornerside restaurant and roadside cloth shops seem like Armani to him. He cannot help but smile through the day at the thought of paying his next months rent and going out of the house with some pride at last. He cannot afford to visit any of the tourist spots as the journey would be too costly but he is very happy that finally after months he will finally be able to visit his native place to see his parents and family as he can afford it out of the salary that he would be getting.
Who is better and who should be followed? Please do implore a bit and share your thoughts on the subject.
Truly Yours,
SM
