Everybody wants to rule the world...

“The young blood rushed through his veins; in his pensive self he counted his agony and the solutions in the same breath. With his feisty self he clenched his fists and declared- One day…I shall rule the world”

I recon all of us saying this to ourselves or out loud once in our lives, the time when we were on the conquest of our world and sure of ruling it. The restlessness just builds on to you imploring you to walk the path. The path which will eventually declare you a hero in your own right, and even better in everyone else’s as well.

This is the time when someone requires guidance the most. However gusto you have, to walk that way, you need a signboard that points to that direction. I have come across so many people, who have the mix that makes me think this person is going places, what they lack is a direction. It’s like you have the ingredients ready in front of you in the exact amount but you don’t know how to cook.

This thought perhaps comes from my own state of mind these days. It is impossible for this breed to think we are made for the mundane stuff. Such is the surge to make a difference we find ourselves in scores of people who are screaming to be called different. Doesn’t this “similarity” give us an opportunity to unite and make a difference? With such dynamic mindsets it is difficult to attain a state of similar interests, but perhaps that is not even required.

It is quite a sorry state frankly. With oodles of energy and no vent out, the fire just burns out. You are left reminiscing at your once exuberant youth and wonder “I was you a couple of years back”. Yes I met someone who said this and it was pretty scary to find myself lash that sentence to someone who would come for the signboard and find a dead end.

It’s a phase….some tell me you will grow out of it. But do we need to? Should we? Can someone help me and the scores behind me with a sign board?

I think what really stands out from your post is the need to unite and make a difference. You are so right that asserting individuality is the norm (even fashionable) but the power of unity is often ignored. There is always a mix of unique skill sets that people are made of and having the right mix would bake a wonderful cake!
Dontcha think that would be the direction?

of course it would be....but can the need to do something over come individual egos and fight for spotlight?....hell even if the answer is no i would still give unity a shot!
