The world knows people who do extraordinary things as - Champions & Cowards
One would just pause and wonder why I have used Champions & Cowards in the same sentence especially when one seems to be on Top of the World whereas the other seems to signify somone from a bottomless pit!!!!. However I do believe that both these terms are related to each other.
Why does the society distinguish between a man who is Bungee jumping from the fortieth floor of the building & a man who performs the feat without using the ropes?? In this case, the former will be hailed as a BJ Champion & the other wud be anointed with the tag of a coward who cudnt take the pressures of society!!!!!! Whereas if one goes to see, the former was jumping from the fortieth floor knowing fully well that there were medical staff on the standby, the rope he was tied to was secure & there was no apparent risk to his life!!!!! A man who is jumping from such a height knowing fully well tht there wud not even be a scratch on his face is hailed a Champion or Hero whereas one who does not have acess to any of these & still jumps is hailed a coward.
Both also succeed in their missions!!! One aimed to get his name in the record books & the other in the books of the Coroner!!!!
Why does society distinguish between men?? Is such a distinction correct???
In the above case, just because the 2nd guy jumped to his death, the society labelled him a coward. Why?? Dosent man have the right to choose his way of life?? Death in this case?? Why does the whole world reserve a comment on the way a man lived his life? I do strongly believe that the 2nd man deserved to get all the accolades coz he performed the same stunt without having acess to all the equipments the other guy had. Also, this man knew exactly wot he was doing & wot were the consequences of his actions. So this guy deserved better.
Champions & cowards have many things in common
Both have same motives, are similar in thinking. Just that each plans ona different way of execution of their plan!!!
Also, society just calls people names because these persons cannot enact or emote what the so called coward did. Surely you wud here words like - Am I a fool to jump off the fortieth floor of a building to get myself killed?? Nah never!!!! from such a person & then he wud proceed to condemn the guy labelling him a loser!!! Just because you do not have the guts or the daredevilry to perform what the other guy did you are labelling the other guy foolish!!! Wot justice?? Just because the persons act did not conform to societal norms of living, society condemns such men.
I would surely like people to ponder over this article & wonder out aloud whether what we are doing is correct?? We are putting the wrong guy in the drivers seat!!!!
