At times, one feels invincible about his or her
capabilities. The accumulation of power corrupts that certain individual. He or
she conducts so many atrocities that it is unbearable to the world. Then, comes
a Messiah who saves everyone. It is in those moments that a Hollywood movie
starts. The protagonist is obviously there to topple the aforementioned individual.
At the end, the individual perishes and
the protagonist wins. (Unless it's Sean Bean, because he is always killed in a
movie.)
My question is, why? Why does the person become corrupt? Is
it in human nature to be corrupt? Does accumulation of skill and abilities
always lead to pride? Isn't it human nature to take credit for what he or she
has done? Isn't it human nature for humans to envy superiority? Who defines the
fine line between envy and oppression? Is the inferiority of few masked as
terror and the oppressor is not exactly the oppressor but a victim of social
flaw that eliminates the best? Well, only anthropologists could answer these
questions!
I have seen these traits in the social structures. These
aspects are mere representations of what goes on truly. The fear that someone might be superior is the
always a threat to humans. That is why we see events such as Wire tapping of
government leaders (The recent Angela Merkel cell phone tapping scandal),
criticism of rivals in different professions and popularity of boy bands(Hey
most guys hate Justin Beiber and One direction because they are famous! I don't
like their music though.)
So, in the end it's the superiors who pay the price. Corruption,
terror or any other form of fake atrocity is tagged to them and they are thrown
away like week old eggs. So, I have decided to be a superior, to be a part of
this club who is so despised, yet lauded by society. I will perform such
miracles. Go on like a rock star and I will rock you like a Hurricane!
