And after all we’re only ordinary men

Getting straight to the point, It’s the word maturity that’s destroying us.

Anybody comes up with an idea which frighten us and out we pop with phrases like, ‘get mature, grow up’ the unsaid intent being, ‘stay the defensive lump that every other defensive lump wants you to be’.

You all have to agree that we as a country need to change somewhere… and all of us also agree that the change’s got to take place in so many places that we’re not sure anymore.
We also agree that a major change in our attitudes is definitely required.
Yet when Greg Chappel comes along and tries enforcing change to stem the rot that’s set in (as deccan herald would’ve put it in the days of non idiotic sentimental journalism) we all complain.

It’s society that teaches us to get defensive, go with the flow and try to become worthless losers, like say a dad teaching his 5 year old son to like the merc (it’s classy to appreciate class you know). We’re scared of somebody who seems to have a plan, because it reminds us of our sacrifice.

Remember the time when you switched your ideas off for a more conservative approach and called that phase ‘growing up’? You sacrificed everything you stood for and what’s worse, you didn’t even know it. You joined this huge mass that’s hell bent on getting nowhere. You worked real hard to get comfortable in there, and now it’s a half jealousy half fear that forces us to try and hold back somebody who’s trying to get somewhere.

Get out of that hold.

If you already have, thanks… I associate with you…

If maturity is what society defines as, then I’d gladly accept being a kid. There are a few people I’ve known (more so in the circle in pune) who believed growing up included opening up to the world and going after what you’d dreamt of and trying to keep from getting your mind clouded with crap, I really appreciate the whole bunch of them for being the people they are and being so easy about it.

Call me egoistic, but I’m proud of the contempt I have towards society and wouldn’t go out of my way to keep the bunch of losers happy. I’m glad I’ve come across a few who think along those lines, to hell with the rest.
