DANGERS OF NEED ACHIEVEMENT

 


PUNISHMENT OF ACHIEVEMENT


not everyone

can

or should

escape mediocrity

just lay back

and feel the breeze

on your face

and 

let it carry your words

away

as far away

as possible


The only incentive in any political idological system depends on the recognition of loopholes and the ability to utilize them for furthering one’s power and/or wealth. However, one needs to stay in the background and not flaunt any achievements, if possible, frequently discarding aces and kings with a vacant, shamed face.

As far as my almost eighty years of experience tells, there is no system that rewards intelligence, ability and hard work after a certain point in a political, academic, legal or business hierarchy. In fact, it becomes a requirement that you have to use your intelligence, ability, hard work and expertise to hang on to what you have achieved instead of attempting for new achievements.

This is true in communism, capitalism, theocracy, idiocracy, tribalism and even home economics.


too many 

chiefs

and

spouses

made the mistake

to never be heard again

in great edifices

or tiny igloos
