There is an old saying “too much of anything is bad”. Even good kids have side effects more on the side than on themselves. Quite opposite to believe successful people only inspire us I know many of us will be judging me by now but don’t write me off just yet.
This may sound like more of my personal life than an article. I am going to start with a story of young boy name kaku, he was black sheep of a family. Family that was filled with genius people highly intelligent and very intellectual but he was not. Not even one these qualities he was blessed with. He wasn’t much into studies & even good manners were not part of his charm he was angry, stubborn and had no concentration at all easy to say he was no light of the house.
Which made life bit bitter and tough for him especially looking around see everyone else is perfect, perfection the society requires. Easier to say he was bit of an eyesore. And for 8 year old that bit too much to handle so he had to choose to either continue to be an eyesore or change the way he is and follow someone as mentor.
It would have been much easier if he chose the first option and be the way he was though I don’t know how his future would have turned out to be as I didn’t get to see that part in my life. Other option is to live the way as people expects you to live. Now it easier said than done especially if you are part of family who are all masters of their fields.
Kid who recently decided to become a good kid it can be bit overwhelming as they may lack the very skills which are required to be one of those perfect kids. They aren’t as brainy or as smart as others even if they were they would not know how to use this skill as this is not their signature skill it is one part of their nature that they have never used and still despise the idea of being perfect kid in their head somewhere and though he is trying to change but as they say “People never change”.
Now when people see you trying without even realizing they get a hope you are good child now and they start comparing normal kids with perfect kids. And Perfect kids set standards for you. Everything they do is they do with perfection, which becomes quite a challenge for the kids who follow them as their shadows. In cases like these it becomes more of a frustration than an inspiration.
While tailing this perfection people often lose their own passions their own skills. As kids try to modelize themselves they end up losing their own original shape becoming nothing more than copy cats. Also forgetting this fact these imperfections makes us what we really are. We were never really intended to be perfect we were supposed to be imperfect to begin so we can fill the loop holes of others by being ourselves but this continuous comparison made us what we are not.
It’s fascinating to see how easily people influence us. No wonder we still live in herds. And we follow people so we get accepted by society. Yet we also think we are different we are different from this world. Little did we know the difference we are so proud of was lost long ago while we were so busy being good.
