Today 18th November

I like to ask you a question… How controlled are you, as a person? Consider if you let the whole world or rather your social circle be the judge, it is of course subjected to a collective opinion. The good news is there is no right or wrong answer as this is not a quantifiable. Even percentage needs to be tag by a qualitative response for the statistics to be meaningful. “Hope” is the notion which a ‘lack-luster’ subject or rather the perception of the subject could adopt. In other words, there is room for improvement. To simplify things, recognizing no right or wrong (NROW) there will be three groups. You can call group one Controlled and group two Uncontrolled and the third group Neutral, recognizing NROW.

Group one- Controlled. You are/appear/think (AAT) your stronger than your peers. You survive social events because of various reasons. It’s totally random and complex to reason for why you are controlled to the other person. One could say that he/she trusted you, that why you are controlled. Another person would hazard a guess because you are someone he/she wants to be. Or even being the same sex. The “true” reason can never be unfolded as opinions formed are subjected to human errors. If you think you are a controlled person, asked yourself: WHY? You had probably been successful in your whole career, love life. You had probably been confident your whole life. You might be the President of a country or had been born a leader or a natural leader. Looking at a shorter term, you have achieved your desire or accomplish something. Or simply think that you are in control of things. Yes you are the today’s winner.

Group two- Uncontrolled. You AAT weaker than your peers or within a group. Again this is totally random and non-exhaustive. It could be anything which makes you feel uncontrolled. Assuming that the recession is not over, many would have lost their jobs. You might think you belong to this group. Or falling out of love that you had all-in into relationship which has failed. You girlfriend could have ran away so you feel uncontrolled. Or you belong to a social class like the “untouchables” of India. Or any reason if there is. People AAT you’re a loser or rather people react in a way that you AAT your loser. Yes, you are a today’s loser. But don’t forget to hope.

At the work place, the Controlled gain to the ranks faster. Their bosses AAT their subordinates are more deserving. The job offered to a controlled is 8 to 5…. Gosh, eight to five is quite long consider you started primary school or grade one in sessions. Now, your “bloody-whole-life” or most part of your days was spent with your colleagues. If you have 10 colleagues that you like, you probably feel quite happy. But if you have only one colleague, he/she is probably the best person in your world, your soul mate or simply someone whom you have admired something about or the Subway Works. The controlled works 8 to 10 pm (optimistic estimate) because they couldn’t finish their work. NROW, they stayed at their work and look into the screen from 8 to 10 hours because their ‘efficiency’ allows. On the side note, if you stared at the screen consistently 14hrs a day (no breaks) for a year, how long it takes for your eyes to go blind? Regardless of asking is their brain working or just plain starring to their LCDs. The Controlled wasted no time, as their ancestors have trained them to do so. In life, you go to the best primary school, top secondary school…university…corporation and earn the biggest pay cheque. Yet there is only one biggest pay cheque in this world. It is true that being in control at work serve you well, because in a recession you would be the last to go. But last to go still means going. Yes, you are today’s survivors. Despite, 100 of people lose their work, 1000 children die from famine the Controlled according to NROW, would not be affected at all for today or maybe longer. Assume NROW, if all the Controlled do not feel affected yet the world is at chaos, how efficient are the controlled? Simulate, we were to elect an AAT uncontrolled person as the president of a country, it doesn’t take a genius to know how badly that country would be run. But will the controlled who were at ease or rather unaffected today feel a bit uneasy. Assume NROW, we know that more ‘efficiency’ could be expected from the Controlled.
