Everyone wants to be a Hero

Well you know that everyone deep inside wants to do something different form the rest for which he would be appreciated. There are two kinds of people one who thinks ‘he can’, the other who thinks ‘can he?’ might sound extremely clichéd, but that is the reality.

Now lets work on He Can

Well he is just and ordinary guy with ordinary looks & physique but with a difference. He is one who lives in a constant delusion state that ‘he is here to conquer the world and not just live. He is here to do something different, which might help human kind. He has a will to conquer whatever he finds difficult. He attempts to do the toughest of tasks if he thinks they are tough because nothing in this world is supposed to be tough. ‘ This delusionary state actually helps him do tasks that others can’t because of a line which he has crossed – Let’s call it the             Mental Threshold. He has a very broad perspective when he is doing something, he does not get into the nitty gritties of any issues. He does not think of any task as impossible – leave behind things like getting up very early and exercising in spite of a heavy schedule at work because he is here to take control over his life and body. The above is just a small example in the direction of the discussion and is just to prove that he is far away form this normal day to day difficulties because these don’t even exist in his mind.

The point here is if simple difficulties in daily life bog you down, you can never think big, you will only remain and spend you life in these small issues. These people try and work for the better of the not so fortunate others (i.e. Who have not crossed the mental threshold yet) since in their evergreen delusionary state they don’t see these small things as difficulties at all. The results of their actions which generally gets them no appreciation at all gives them a larger kick, since if you get appreciated often you end up doing everything for that appreciation but if you are different you have to carry on appreciation or not and that feeling of deprivement gives you a higher kick than ever.

Not all of these people become heroes ‘although all of them want to’. There are those who by luck or fate stumble across the right opportunities to grow and reach a level where there actions are felt by more than one. It is there that these find their true purpose and rest ……

Adolescence

This part of the blog is served best after Birth

Step IV

You start growing older and fight the battle of scoring better; you realize you are highly appreciated on your cramming skills. You lose touch in between and everyone looks at you with “O What a loser” kinda looks. You cram harder and try and improve you grades.

Step V

You move through these ups and downs with people looking down upon you or appreciating you just at every change in your grade. You don’t understand why these people forget the times when there were better grades and look at you with disgust.

Step VI

Your parents play a game of hide and seek where they come out with conversations like “ My son tops the class regularly” to “ My son has been ill for all these years right on the date of the exam, you can call it coincidence or destiny but otherwise he is a very intelligent boy”.

Step VII

You somehow learn the ropes and survive playing the study game, get involved and want to cram better, you might also let go of some hobbies on the way and some of the things or professions you like might sound too small for your parents.
