BE HUMBLE… AT YOUR OWN PERIL!
Humility, the dictionary says it means ‘to be humble’. And, what does humble mean? It means to be less proud of oneself, to perceive oneself as less important! What further fuel does one need to hate the common ideology that we all follow as a yardstick to measure one’s potential. The present form of ideology called ‘Altruism’ that we all sadly follow today is the most potential weapon of man’ quest for self-destruction! Does it make sense to anyone when some body comes and says that you have to demean yourself, lose your self-esteem and in the process be HUMBLE? The Altruist ideology believes in sacrifice of our own self-interests, interests that are chosen values that determine our happiness, our success, and above all our way of life. The society asks us to measure your success by giving to others and be penniless in turn. It doesn’t value our morals, our likings and our self-interests. To explain more, take the case of an interview where two candidates appear for a single post. One of them is poor while the other is reasonably well off. Both have their vested interests in achieving the job. Fortunately or unfortunately the better of the two receives the job. Well, the idealists of Altruism will argue that the richer of the two should ‘sacrifice’ his job for the betterment of the poorer candidate! And what, subject himself to self-humiliation? The term ‘sacrifice’ is defined in a distorted way in order that it refers to an act of losing one’s object of higher hierarchical value to an object of lower value to one’s own interests. That’s unfair means of doing things! To the society not trying to gain something for one’s own happiness at one’s own hard work is ‘Selfish’ while giving away one’s emotional well-being in some other’s interests is nobility! If one were to apply the conventional definition of ‘Selfishness’ to every action of man then the very fact that a man thinks for his own good is selfishness! For a man to reason a situation in order to achieve the best of productivity is Selfishness! For a man to analyze and modify the forces of nature to his suitability is selfishness! Where does our integrity go? By Integrity I mean a man’s potential to respect his values that in turn help a man maintain a moral code of conduct that again in turn leads him to achieve his goals which again in turn help him satisfy the needs of his life that he feels is best for his existence! To surrender to some moron’s needs is to surrender one’s integrity to the moron. It is in man’s best interests as a species entitled to fight the odds for survival to respect his values and more importantly recognize his potentials in achieving his goals. It deals with his self-esteem. When a man loses his self-esteem it means he simply stops reasoning or thinking and surrenders his conscience to the code of values set by someone else’s whims and emotions. And when one stops reasoning he loses the race of survival and will eventually lead to his living as a recluse and finally to self-destruction! Does all this mean that we all stop caring a damn about others and be mean? Not until caring of other’s interests doesn’t hamper our own morals and ethics for survival. If a man is bankrupt, one can only help him stand up own his feet till he finds his own way to betterment. It doesn’t mean we spoon feed him all his life and lose our survival tactics. However it is to be noted that every person in a man’s life is valued in a hierarchical order that suits his interests best. If a man’s brother who has the same notion of seeing things and has similar values as that of the person concerned and he falls into deep debt, then it is in the best of the man to help his brother as his life depends a lot on his brothers existence in happiness. But if some outsider undergoes the same problems then it is nobody’s problem to help him out. Consider yourself in the position, will you expect someone outside to come and help you out? It is all for one and one for all. It is a responsibility of every human to lead his life his way and subject oneself to the cheap appreciation of the Altruist society that only demeans the powers of man to live his life. In all, I will conclude saying that it is very much important for a man to realize his potentials, responsibilities, and his dignity in order to face the adversities of life. There is therefore no necessity for someone to demean himself to get admiration from a group of non-thinkers! Be proud of our existence, of your achievements, and be prepared to get the maximum of your hard work to yourself and not to sacrifice your results of your hard work for the benefit of a thankless society.
