This character(of lost Guides) is very commonly found in our society. These are the people who apparently “know everything” and have desire to “guide everyone” “except themselves”. They are under achievers by social standards and apparently their desire to speak on every matter and offer views on every affair roots from the fact that they at their subconscious level feel guilty on their laziness/lack of willpower yet want to show command over others and on their own life.
I have started from this character because I observed it closely in the mirror and found it very common in society. At times I feel surrounded by non-doers who just live and breathe for surviving next 24 hours for the next 30 days. They live with Dreams but without Goals and targets.
They live without doing what they really want to do. They either never discover their true passion or actually make compromises for not pursuing it and this keeps them from utilizing their true potential. Being under achievers they talk quickly and rapidly in every gathering and at every occasion to escape from their sense of guilt while meeting those who have recognition.
Lost Guides are likely to display signs of anxiety like nervous leg shake, biting nails,frequently combing hair through fingers etc.Some lost guides find escape by digging and burying themselves under loads of knowledge which is practically of no use for them.
Such characters are common because very few of us actually timely discover what we are born with and what we want to do for the rest of our life.Part of the problem is lack of social acceptance for many interests like film making or sports etc due to which these people don't take a chance on what is socially unacceptable.Generally elders for children never try to identify or develop skills suitable for a temperament like guiding those who are not good with figure fudging towards a suitable career.
State of our nation is a proof of how common this character is!Everyone thinks that he/she knows that what is the right path , Everyone suggests it to others but very few follow it themselves!
Very true sir jee!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMaulana Haali mentions these people! He says that all they do is feel sorry and cry.

I would appreciate the way u look at people around you and come up with a factual thought. For sure there are so many people that we witness on daily basis everywhere around us.
ReplyDeleteBut sir, on several instances, as mentioned by you, they actually do not listen to what others suggest them for THEIR betterment. What should be done for them then, as they make a major part of our society.
V need to have a learn & move forward , learn & move forward attitude to be successful. How to make them understand this to come out of their shadows and think about who actually they are?
Wahab,
ReplyDeleteOne way of doing it is to encourage tolerance for others and for our self(not be defensive about criticism on us).As a nation we need to improve our character and i am afraid that for doing so pain free method is very time consuming and the shortcut is very bloody!

ReplyDeleteA nice observation on the character of lost guides. There comes a time when the lost guides find their way out like you did. Sir, there is a possibility that these Lost Guides according to your perspective are the lost ones who do nothing but in reality they may be not the Lost ones. There is a possibility that they do have goals and target but they are not so obvious that humans can judge it. Despite all, I really liked the point that you observed this character by putting yourself in the same condition to get out a conclusion that can be more close to reality. Big Up!
