The brain is a microscope, the heart is a telescope!
Focus is shaky, and a blur sometimes!
The target is a shape shifter, tiny at first, cyclopean at a close shave!
Taking a step back clears up my heart, but my brain is fuzzy then!
Am I an artist, or a scientist? The sweet spot is a momentary lapse of judgement!
The heart's the management, the brain's the techie!
Hovering too high, flying too low!
Into the deep abyss, but not all the way though!
The balance is momentary, the conclusion is half baked!
We are still forging our way ahead, philosophical blindness is probable!
The Mediocre and the Elusive!
Mediocrity is about thinking that you know a lot and you own a lot, when you really do not! Now is the world of 'free speech' and 'Internet!' Everybody thinks they are 'the one'! Watching news makes them think they know stuff! Reading blogs makes them know the mysteries of life! But does it, really?
What is to be known is that reality is everyone's personal or influenced view!
Mediocrity is perceptual. Everybody thinks that they are supreme and everyone else is Mediocre! Whereas the truth is, and everybody knows the truth sub-consciously, that almost every one is Mediocre.
Mediocrity comes in all forms! You can be a Mediocre human in general, a Mediocre Engineer, a Mediocre Journalist etc.
The context here is 'Money', 'Capital', 'Dough' or whatever you call it!
The average common man with a job and a family to run is the lowest category of the capitalist mediocre.The average common man thinks that the internet revolution made him 'global', but he does not realize that he is not even 'local' anymore. Earlier, he used to believe his eyes and ears combined together with the 'non-televised', 'from the horse's mouth' information. But, lately, he just believes everything on the Internet! His eyes are covered with dreams of becoming rich! He is the worst kind of mediocre!
Mediocrity, today, has no escape! You have to feed yourself with information and you have no time! If you spent enough time and energy to find out who Mr. Donald Trump really is, with physical evidences of his past conducts and his business progress, then when will you find time to buy the groceries for the week? When will you party? When will you wash your car? When will you do the laundry? So, you quickly run through your bookmarked media and news sites to gaze through the latest on Mr. Trump and move on with the common opinion. Or maybe, sometimes you will find an odd opinion about him and yay or nay to it! But, that is it! You have so much microscopic data to analyze and organize on your plate that you forget that the microscopic data in everybody's else's plate is related to yours and needs the right communication and reasonable discussion!
Then, above the average commoners in the hierarchy of 'the mediocre' community, there are the ones who think that they are rich, but they are not! They think that they are the 'boss' and need only a little more money to join the royal forces! They are the real hard workers! They spend their lives figuring out how to get to the Elites! The average common man also thinks that these are the most rich people on earth, but remember, he knows nothing!
Some of them do make it, to the top, but rather 'the mediocre at the top'! Now this bunch is one rung higher than the one mentioned above and thinks that they are the richest on earth! These people are actually rich for most of us because they do have a lot of money and power, but they are one below the highest form of capitalist royalty – The Elusive Bunch!
The Elusive bunch has so much money that it is a joke to them! They live very personally knowing everyone else have already given up their privacy by buying free information on the Internet via social media, marketing, media, entertainment or a million other ways. They can and do buy media, governments, financial tycoons from time to time to have their wishes fulfilled. They own the world and the world does not even know! You are at their mercy directly or indirectly and you have no clue! This is the irony of us human beings with averagely endowed dough!
So remember, we are all monetarily Mediocre and the ones who are not, are Elusive!
But, ask yourself, is money that important?
Mediocrity is your comfort zone, staying there or rising beyond is a massively logical predicament!
