Price of Opionion and Achievement | 4.2.03 Lol, i believe i did a sketch with the same title(the price of opioinio) a few weeks back. You know whenever someone states an opionion there is a price that that person pays. It's payed with his/her will power and tolerance, because for every opionion that's stated, someone will not like it. Someone will go against it and they will have valid reasons, however this is not what forces the other person to pay a price. It is the people who do not like it for the sake of not liking it, for the sake of opposition, just to see something fail and know that you have won against something. That is when the person stating the opionion pays the price. When the arguments brought against him/her has no meaning, has no reason, but has the sole purpose to destroy, that is when he/she is tried. I admire anyone who can hold their own opionion on grounds of logic against a tide of people who are against him/her just because everyone else seems to be against him/her. Or just because people have placed their judgement on it before motive, logic, and purpose was questioned. How many people have you seen being brought down because popular favor was not with him, because of some irrelevant reason. How many people have been misunderstood because people have not bothered in questioning "why." I'm not saying that you can't dissaprove, i'm saying you can say whatever you'd like to say, so long it's relevent and logical and perposeful. What the heck is, "I don't like it, cause other people don't like it." what the heck is, "i'm against it because its different." I'm not saying go do something really different like drugs and justify it with my sentences. You have to be on moral and logical ground, with purpose. Another thing is the price of achievement. Because with every achievement you make someone will envy you, and dispise you because of your achievement. With statements as, "By what right can you be good at something and make us look stupid." with statements such as, "so what." People will laugh at every mistake, mock you for what you are, and in the end when they finally do something better than you, they'll say viciously, "HA! I'M BETTER THAN YOU!" But that's because of their own incompetence. It's sad that they don't realize that they could do it too, all they need to do is strive how you strived. Or the fact that they fear achievement, when they accept mediocrety as a safe zone. That they fear being recongized and sneared upon and mocked and laughed at. Yet, in the end it will be they who are screaming the loudest about how much trouble they'll be in, and you'll be the one smiling at your achievement. Because you're on the only safe ground. The one with logic, moral, and purpose. All other people are in a zone of contradictions. Where they will use your competence as condemnation. Because you worked at what you earned, and they cheated to get theirs. Because no matter what comes you can face it with your abilities, and they have to find someone to depend upon. And then they'll see how far they can push you before you stop helping them. Don't give them very far. Help them so long as they know that you're GIVING help to them, not they demanding help from you. So long as they used their brain before they come to use your brain. Don't accept incompetence as an excuse to shoot down the competent. Don't use someone elses achievements to justify your failures. Your failure should be the reason to keep going, not the excuse to stop. Their achievements should be the reason you admire them, not the excuse to dispise them. And your achievements should be the clear cut proof that you need not their praise, need not mind their hypocrisy. We have the capability in each and everyone of us to become great, we should all strive toward a goal. And we should all recongize everyone else's achievements and respect it. So when someone interviews the great you, you could say that you grew up knowing the great someone else. There once was a time where so many able people got up and was recongized, and they all knew the other good people. They called these eras "The Enlightenment" "The Industrial Revolution" "The Renasance". It is now a time to give a name to our generation, where if i become recongized i could say that i have always admired your achievements, and when you become regonized you can say that you respected mine. This is the system that we should establish and build up, not the "i'm better than you." not the "i'm NORMAL! you cannot call me smart! i don't get good grades! go dispise that person!" Lets do this, together. All of us, in friendly compitition to make the other person better and stronger. And when we see a friend who achieved what you or i wanted to achieve, smile and be proud. - Wei Note: This rant is partially inspired by Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. |
