There are people, and then, there are 'THE PEOPLE'. As not-so-different the two might sound, there happens to be an earth of difference between the two clans.
The former conform, they fit in. If there is any discrepancy creeping into their order, they simply iron it out as a fault. It's like how Joker says, "Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos."
The main motive is to fit every body, mind you, not everybody, into the same mold/die. So whatever comes out, if anything meaningful comes out, looks like a product off an assembly line.
Without a doubt, these words, or at least words conveying the same meaning have been used a thousand time, more so recently. But pretty surely, plagiarism is one of my last concerns for now.
What is a bit more disturbing is that if, let us for example, take rubble as an analogy to humans. It is a bit awkward, but let us stick to " for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return", just to make the comparison of man to rubble a bit more digestible.
So, if we plan to separate dust on the basis of it's size, we use sieves with different sizes of holes on each sieve. Then we stack the sieves, one on top of the other, in decreasing order of sieve size, put all the rubble onto the stack of sieves, give it all a good shake, not a stir. And Voila! We have all the rubble sorted as per their size. All fine, all good. Until someone tries to push big chunks of rubble through the sieve meant for small sized rubble.
Surprise! Surprise! It won't go through. So what's the next step?
Let's force things through anyways.
The problem with normalcy is that we see everything through black-and-white cameras. The colors just get filtered. The point here? The point is that many times, we miss the point.
Okay. So, there is this guy X. X can't do something all the Ys' and Zs' can do. So let's tattoo X's forehead with the word 'FAILURE'. Convenient. Isn't it?
How easily, we put qualities that we are unable to see at face value, into the list for qualities that aren't supposed to matter.
Maybe the tone here is a bit too cynical, but the way we go, in general, pushing the big rocks through the small sieve will not solve anything. It surely hasn't so far. It certainly won't, not because it hasn't earlier, but because we are attacking the wrong problem.
The upside to the whole situation is that the more we try to push the big rock through th small sieve, the more is the chance that we'll end up seeing the sieve falling apart.
