Majority Wins Minority Loses!

Majority Wins Minority Loses!

The first thing we learn when we are playing, that is because we are trying to determine as to who will give the `den’ in whatever game we are playing. As children we don’t even know the meaning of majority and minority, except the fact that the person who is the `odd one out’ has to give the `den’ first.

So as we grow up, we are conditioned to do what the majority do – because that is the accepted norm. If you don’t follow the herd, then either you are crazy, and you persist with your craziness, then you are a rebel (loser).

Issues across the globe and concerning the globe have their own pros and cons. There are these sets of nations / opinion leaders who based on ideologies, beliefs, history that take sides, and shape your thoughts.

The game here is a more complicated, because life doesn’t end here – for there is something called a VETO which is vested in the hands of a handful of nations. We see the same veto being played on us in real life in some situations and that get very frustrating.

There is the second and the more puzzling one of group formation when the same principle is applied and 100% is expected to accept the WINNER who may even be liked by say 50.01%. The balance 49.99% has to comply.

Even greater is the so called tendency to manipulate oneself from the minority status and get together all like minded ones, and pick out a minority chunk of the majority to render them minority and stake claim.

Children Games, but Governments, Institutions, Associations, Groups, Clubs, everywhere – you see “Majority Wins – Minority Loses”. So do we say Manipulation Wins, Guile Wins, Minority forged into Majority Wins and Majority torn into Minority Loses!

Odds have become prized, locate them and gather them – for if birds of the same feather flock together, you could be the Majority.

Complicated, but true!

Prism Prism on the Wall - Pinpoint my detractors and enemies

A mirror reflects, and what you see in that is an image, but we love to stand in front of a mirror and form a judgement about how others will want to perceive us. We think that is life and get into managing our lives accordingly. Wish life was that simple.

The truth of the matter is that life is like a prism. That triangular object, that transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that refract light. A prism can break white light up into its constituent spectral colors (the colors of the rainbow).

The deeds that you do are like the while light that hits the prism (society). Now what the society thinks is given out as a spectrum because there is multitude of opinions. We tend to like a certain band of colour that suits us, and not look at the entire spectrum.

Some colours in isolation are good, but the colours in combination are balance. Like, we tend to think we are right all the time, and detest the negative feedback, thus becoming selective in our hearing of convenient opinions.

We get into a manipulation of cocooning ourselves in a make believe world of convenience and comfort. When confronted with reality, we like to blame the system, the society and everything around us. If we are blamed, then shift the blame conveniently or start searching for scape goats, thus getting into a segment of selective colours we desire.

Remember when you point a finer at someone, three fingers point towards you!
