A great way to love a life less ordinary is to tap the extraordinary within you. An overriding fear that afflicts most of us is the fear of being average.To score 'average' in any test or to be called 'one of the crowd' is anathema to our veru being.Nobody wants to be an "also was..." and most of our struggles are directed towardsproviding how different we are from others.
The internet hasmany bloggers expressing this fear that everyone wants to be extraordinary.Nobody wants to live an ordinary life and die unsung.One blogger says he doesn't want to "blend into the crowd; not be a person people meet & immediately forget"...
Another puts its more graphically,"living the average life everyone else does- fucking thr same girl for the rest of your life,having kids,getting married,9-5 job,sitting at home in front of the TV,getting fat,doing the same fuck week-in-week-out.Are you ok with slipping into that category & settling with it??"
And yet how different can one be? As my my brother Tushar asked a couple of days ago,
"Resolute,why is everybody's life the same? we are all born,learn to talk/walk,go to school,college,get a job,raise a family,and then die....???"
my first instinct was to give him the spiel about those who leave 'footprints on the sands of time',but then I havn't really understood how it would help a person stay memorable after he is dead and gone.And if you believe in reincarnation,can you not visualize a acenario where a great historical figure is reborn as an 'average' man and forced to read up about himself and memorise the dates he made noteworthy in his past birth! Waht value is his having been 'above average' or different'?
SO WHAT'S THE SOLUTION ..
I'LL TELL U NEXT TIME
