A diamond in the rough
Really great and good to know. Got
to see this a few days back.
This is what I wrote; probably many may not like it.
Real passion, talents and greatness
somehow come to light but in the case of India it needs to be both
identified and marketed by a foreigner.
The list is too long and includes
almost many great spiritual and philosophical souls as well.
Why? Even all our freedom fighters
who were recognized and given space and importance were those who got educated
overseas.
There may be many inherent hindrances
which need to be looked into without bias and we need to change our
attitude.
When someone known to us within our
close circles is good at something we become either indifferent or dismiss it
as what is so great, nothing new our ancestors were greater than this,
professional jealousy and all sorts of possible excuses to put down. Whereas,
if that very same person becomes a success then we try in any contorted way to
claim some affinity with that person, hero worship that person and so on.
So, such a person ' a diamond in the
rough' ends up in a hyper narcissistic Mephobia -which is the fear of
becoming so awesome that the human race can't handle it and everybody dies.
We have amidst us many such छुपा रुस्तम ( dark horses)
