Catastrophic Stereotypes

We all have been a victim of stereotypes. There’s a very little room for originality in our thoughts or in action. Lack of this sense has pulled us this far, that we are running short of natural resources and being vulnerable to both natural and artificial disasters. Price hikes, the fear of recession, uncertain job, and social problems of pollution, corruption and crap have been creeping into our lives and thus making it a living hell. All this, as i call it, is due to the stereotypes which are potent enough to bring down this magnificent creation of almighty.

I hope this example broadens your horizon, to the realm which i can see clearly. Suppose you’re driving your car in a desert. It’s sand all around except for the front and back where you can see the bituminous road (the usual roads). There’s nothing interesting in this road, it seems never ending and highly monotonous. Almost acting like a captive you’re following this road. You have got an option, follow the road, break the rules, get lost, and find a new way. The choice is entirely yours.

Every work in this world is stereotyped. This stereotyping has enforced us not to think of other ways to do the same job. The more we think about a new thing, the broader our horizon gets, this way we cover a larger area thus finding a sociological solution for the problem which one had to follow the same old way, less sociological, and more diverted to the self-interest of the maker. If someone faces a problem, he can always turn to history, “it’s all there in the books”. But why to enforce history to someone, this way we close his views to look at the problem in some other way, which in the long run might prove authentic and useful.

Imagine a young Einstein sitting in the class and listening to economics classes, just because his mother asked her to. That day, we would have seen the atom bomb and quantum mechanics hanging to the ceiling fan. True. Isn’t it? He did turn to history to search for the starters on which he laid up his brilliant theory which shook the whole foundation of classical physics, and introduced a whole new topic in the curriculum for the later scientists and researchers. This would not have happened if he would have been looking the way Newton did. The whole difference came just because of a difference.

The present society would have been something different and much more brilliant if we had seen some less stereotypical past. The more we close our eyes using the strangles of past, the harder our going gets. So break the chains and do stuffs the way you want to. No force in this universe has the authority to prove you wrong, except for the police department. So be something different, except being a criminal!

 Well I would take a leave now, see you in the next blog, till then take care.

Sayonara!
