It is said that with time we,
the human beings, are unknowingly and unnecessarily making our lives
complicated. Unlike past days now materialistic pleasure deemed to be the most
essential element of human lives. However, somewhere we all love to live a life
which would be simple and less complicated. Despite knowing the fact that none
of us is permanent here on earth, still we can’t have control over our whim for
materialistic pleasure.
Perhaps, the root of all the
problem and complications of our lives are our unrealistic desire to achieve
fame. Fame for name, fame for money or whatsoever, but it is ultimately our desire
to accomplish popularity literally makes our life full of difficulties. Thus,
quite perfectly, Fransis bacon, in his essay “Of Great Place” described about
the unconventional desire of human being to rise to greatness, which actually
pushes their lives in a complete jigsaw.
Given it a thought, we would
realize that all our sorrows and miseries are the reflection of our greediness
to experience a special identity through our fame. Every one of us has a dream
to be successful rather the best in his/her own sphere and in some extreme
cases where that dream turned into unrealistic
whim to achieve self identification, conflict of interest would an inevitable
part.
Having the dream to master or
achieve greatness is invariably appreciated as long as it follows the ethics of
life but as soon as it crosses that line it endangers human existence. Evidences
are there in history, be it Hitlar or Mussolini, whenever any individual made
an endeavor to establish his patronage over all was dethroned by the natural rule
of life.
Our lives can be really
fruitful if we devote all our emphasis on the betterment of human as well as social
development. We must remember the fact that dominating or subduing the voice of
poor no one can achieve the fame of myth.
