Mediocracy - Veil of Society.

The World was supposed to be a place of Art, Science, Sports where everyone gets inspired by each other, hand in hand, move together towards peace and unity. And in the same way, everyone must have dreamt of something to bring well-being to society - we live in. Once so-called, “Dream” to be a painter or a musician or would take up the role of Prime Minister to help the poor has faded in time. There’s the endless dream of pure consciousness that has disappeared in thin air. But those urges were so much honest that everyone in our childhood must have felt the agony of beggars, begging at the street, wandering vision up high at the sky has plucked love out of rainbow that some of them wanted to paint it all down or maybe someone just lost in the chirping of the birds that music flowed within his heart, but the attempts to express its melody has shrunk and slip to the darkest corner of their mind. Those dreams have faded away and this constant battle of dissatisfaction has taken its place in mind where those dreams were supposed to be. It has been replaced with the Balance sheet, Bank balance, Mortgage, Assets as these are considered as wealth in the society. Advance technology has reached up high the sky yet many musical geniuses in the different corners of the world couldn’t avail of these technological facilities and his urge to record his creativity has transformed in salary increment. Most part in this transition, played by our education system. It’s inevitable to ignore the fact that those dreams were born and left untouched, ignored in those classrooms. Many of us are much bored with the history class that poetry flows within him or simply just to giggle within, sketch down - funny faces of his teacher where wars of the world, don’t seem to interest him at all. These all instance gives a glimpse of creative identity, lost in learning physics law or mathematical theorem and physical activity. Nor the society or the educational system is least bothered to flourish out the true identity in him. That poetry, cartoon, or melody holds the essence of love which could contribute to the traditions, cultures, and more importantly humanity as it is found rarely these days. It is extremely foolish to expect that little fellow to indicate his genuinity, at the same time it allows the society and parents to bring out his excellency. It should have been the process of progression from their point of individuality, not of societies or parents. Rather it has become a way of pushing further to merge with the mediocracy in the society. Infants with poet inside, are bound to learn those complex subjects which often pass an inch above from their head, and with the peer pressure to secure the top rank in the class, eventually take away the beauty of adolescence. And with this pace of academics, slowly swallow up those dreams and gradually, it goes to hibernate mode. Down the line, it might give its glimpse but then again, it must have been difficult for one, in this position to choose, as on one side - its passion which was lying deep inside has awakened up and on the other side, specialization along with its secure job which would pay enough for the rest of life waiting for you. The choice is quite clear and there is always a fear of failing, lurking from the back of your mind stoping you to be you. The purpose of the educational system was supposed to concrete a moral base upon which these dreams be could lay. But it failed immensely, instead, hewed out even the traces of those dreams. At the same time, many individuals, refuse to risk it up all to discover the hidden wealth within him. It is also the point where parents need to step forward to support them to light up the hidden but disappear as most of the parents failed to overcome this societal hurdle and now, it has been pushed further from generation to generation. As a result, they don’t seem to find any grip to hold onto it and slowly submerge with the mediocracy in the society. Some would even come up with the layout to delay as circumstances don’t permit and finally slave themselves from Monday to Friday. For them, “Weekend” seems to be a way to escape from this slavery. More like cancer, it spread to every corner, consuming all the vital energy which was supposed to nurture those dreams, now being used in resistance and shaping to adjust to conflict. As going further, when society labels an individual- "Stable", where consistency to prove slavery in the system has come to an extent that the relationship demands its legal entry or marriage proposal has been offered. Being stapled, “Stable”, again thrown with more responsibilities to keep distracted, some in the form of advancement in the generation and few driven by the force of lust which kept suppressed from time of attaining puberty. The process of reproduction has been considered to be sacred in ancient times and also, it is a process of leaving seed for a new plant to reap the fruit. But when a plant, itself, couldn’t able to stand strong enough against storm and with its plague way of growing, quite impossible to reap fruit or flower. It is where, the whole mass is going wrong, governed by the system and the root cause for this label of Average. It’s quite simple, if it is mapped down as a plant in an individual with dreams like root, holding tight enough to stand still and Mother nature shower creativity to reap fully grown, well-nourished fruit that bears future seed. But with the help of society, this process has been skipped and instead misinterpreted in such a way that it is considered as obscure, just simply to keep the stack of average people in control. Now, being an individual, aware of their true dreams to manifest, has to stand strong through all odds in the road to the unknown to discover his true essence, stepping aside from all those values deployed by society and the educational system. Parent’s understanding and support also play a great role in the creation of genius to erase this label of "Mediocracy". Mediocracy, as a disease, consumed many lives and dreams from ages, and to get rid of this plague, every individual has to stand for his own, shifting his belief from dogma and doctrine to his “Dream”.
