Words from the "Lost"

In the air of being trendy, like everyone else, I too had a "leap of faith", duuh, that's what they say, right? Have you met these people? I know for a fact that it takes a lot of effort than one might think. Everybody is created differently and everybody thinks differently, but if I have to set up an analogy, just being a lion in the herd of sheep won't make you fearless. While writing this, I am thinking that one day I am going to be, in fact, I am already thinking that I am the best writer in the world. I know what you are thinking that this guy is an idiot. But when I say world, it's my own and nobody is in it. "It does not cost you anything to dream big", that's what people say, right? But it does cost a fortune when you cannot achieve or fulfill that dream. These big influential people , who have big mouths, big teeth, who have already achieved something, keep roaring wherever they go "follow your passion, follow your dreams!! Do what you love", fuck no. Some logical questions for which at least I need answers for is what if I have no passion? What if I don't know what my passion is? You sick pieces of morons, who doesn't want a better life, who doesn't want to get rich? Who wants to spend their whole life trading time for money at the age when it should be just opposite of that? I am not saying that you should not think big but if people starts questioning their existence due to the whole ideology of thinking big, then we have some serious issue bubbling up here. If you carefully observe, there is a pattern here.

I think, people are vulnerable as fuck. In today's world, people leverage the vulnerability of the people and that is something that should not be done. Why did Facebook made it big?, because people are interested in other's opinion to make their decisions. In every decision making, they want people to approve their ideology, their practices even though if their own life is totally fucked up.

Why every other content on the social media is targeted against the occupations likes engineering, medical sciences and occupations like video making, marketing, photography are glorified as hell. Seriously? Is this really the case? Think for a second, what if there are no students studying medical science? Or no students involved in research and innovation? I mean the content is so influential that someone who entered engineering for the sake of passion for the engineering will also doubt the career choice and think of switching to something else at some point and then it comes to their knowledge that congratulations, I am now in the even worse situation than I was earlier in my life. It is not that people are not passionate about what they are doing, the things which are going around in our lives are influential enough to ignite that twitch. Someone who started engineering or whatever because of the interest and passion will take a leap due to these things and now that person is hanging in between the reality and illusion which is constantly messing around with the brain and the people who are teaching and preaching the things will do nothing about this. In a nutshell, nobody gives a fuck about you being an employee or an entrepreneur. Every person is busy "marketing" their own life on social media.

Grass is always greener on the other side, this cannot be more true. It does not matter if that side of yours is an "employee" or an "entrepreneur". People who are really creating value for the world are already doing their job and unlike you people, they aren't uploading their photos or making their posts about everything they do and projecting themselves in a “happening” light. Ultimately it all boils down to the value which you are creating for the people, your family, your partner, your friends. People who are in a position where they can create value on a bigger scale are already doing that. If we are not in that position, we can be at least a part of it. Without employees, even Bill Gates wouldn't have been able to make into the league of the biggest philanthropists. For each and every line of code you write, for each patient that you will treat, for each problem that you will solve on your level can create an impact on society which you cannot think of. So let's not procrastinate or have an emotional breakdown and let's focus on creating value.

Learn to question trends and not follow them and when I do that myself, I found that I am passionate about nothing and I will still create value, this is the ugly truth and here I am dealing with this on a day to day basis and this is basically me ranting about the things which I personally believe and have gone through. None of the opinions are welcomed and now you can’t even unread it.
