As I sit in my class with the faculty solving a simple problem
and yelling at us, saying, “where have we
lost our common sense’, He declares ‘The common sense has
become so uncommon these days”
I start wondering what actually hasn’t become uncommon.
Human intellectual is something that has very less of a
competition. The thoughts that it generates are innumerous and are matchless. I
would say only one word would describe intellectual well – “It’s AMAZING”. We actually are born with the uncommon thinking ability.
There was a time where in we were made to do certain things in
certain way, something like follow the path that everyone followed.
Then as we grew up and started to think out of the box, we did
the same thing in many innovative ways. This of course was a great revolution in liberalizing our monotonous thought process.
But I feel then started a phase,
where in we started getting a notion that unless you do things in an uncommon
way, you are still a below average person who lacked the ability to think out
of box.
A phase which I would like to term
as “Obsession of being Uncommon”
Seeing through these developments that’s happening around, I ask
myself,
“Is being common something really bad?
Or is the obsession of being uncommon something good?
Aren’t we losing some good commonness in us while we are occupied in competition within ourselves trying to become uncommon in everything that we
do?
I feel we are…..
