Sometimes you sit there and think to yourself... WHY?
We ask ourselves things like; "Why are we taught to be good to others despite the world trying it's utmost to be against us?".
"Why keep an open mind if there are so many individuals who form the conglomerate of one track thinking?".
"Why step outside the boundaries of our own limitations when we are told to fall in line with everyone else?".
"Why is my life so hard when there are people who live far better off than I do?".
Some of us just go through life plodding along and accepting those things. We live a pre-ordained existence, because it's what is expected of us. I, for one, am a person who does not believe a word like "fate", should ever have been created. Case in point: I discovered a passion for creative writing amidst the irony that I am not the biggest fan of reading!
How does that make any ounce of sense? Why rely on a medium to which I seem to face a disconnect with?
You'll notice this particular entry contains many questions... Simply because after millions of years of life on Earth, we still seek answers to the ambiguity or the unknown, if you will.
I will provide a few answers
I'm a human being, (if you hadn't already guessed) so naturally I will talk about myself first...
I write: because I like to offer a different perspective to the norm, as a usual introvert it allows people to see the innermost workings of my psyche. I am most certainly a leader and not a follower, so this is why it is hard for me to connect to writings before me, unless I feel it is something worth knowing.
So look at it also as; as the human race...
We are ignorant to some extent as the universe is a vast, expanse. There is so much to discover and even more which will never be discovered (in this generation at least)!
On that note, please take care to...
Look at the structure of a pyramid / equilateral triangle.
You'll see that there is a pinnacle and a large base. This is a metaphor; which shows us that the highest point of a tower must have a stable foundation in order to stay standing. On face value, it would appear that the logic behind a business operating on a pyramid ethos would be fool proof... Although, there are so many factors which can disallow it from being a perfect plan:
-You need a charismatic, inspirational, knowledgeable and self motivating leader.
-Each person in the pyramid has to know where they stand and the importance of their role.
-Those at any position lower than top should never be fully aware of the ultimate goal or the practice to reach it.
-If your goal differs to your associates, then a power struggle may occur leading to insubordinate behaviour taking place.
-And a whole host of more things...
Triangles are a prominent symbol in society, as they represent; perfection, status, order and more.
We all know that perfection is myth, but relativity is the thing which binds our fractured perceptions and gives us belief. We know that if someone has been successful before us and we believe to have seen evidence of this, we are more likely to follow their lead, as we feel it will get us to the same point if not better than the predecessor. There are people who follow as it is comfortable and what they know, then there are people who step out of the constraints set before them and create paths and opportunities for themselves and others.
If you are someone who believes that people buy results and not in fact other people, you may be experiencing a disconnect. We buy in to what we relate to. So our humanity is the first thing to betray us.
Think about that!
