Anatomy Of a Failure.

Failure. Who is this guy? I'll give you my account as to who a failure really is. He is one hell of an ambitious person.He is capable, but his capabilities are clipped...painfully so.But above all he is a bloody egoistic bastard, cringing relentlessly over his loss.You might wonder as to why I'm being so strong while describing this...this breed of humans.That's because he might be slightly unfortunate but the sheer magnitude of his own faults overshadows his extravagant claims of a luckless life. The word luckless, though I'm not sure it exists, is what I'd call his cover for all of his own mistakes. An inexplicably mangled mind,to which the word "focus" is incomprehensible, lies beneath his skull.Why mangled...?Well, he does have qualities you know...its not as if god would send in a man after making him pay a visit to the Sphinx.But his qualities turn hostile parasites when they bind up his own mind, knotting beyond recognition.Imagination, for example...few men on earth can imagine a spoon in their hands when there is none there.But when he keeps imagining and hallucinating about the future, about his dreams...it is bound to push him away from the main tract of life.Pushing him towards oblivion and once he is precariously close to being absorbed by the void...he'll think,"Whence came this?!" Wat a fool.More so the reason why he should be abused.A man who doesn't plant a seed and hopes of fruition,is naught but scum.


The main quality...or should we call it "flaw" of a failure is that he accepts his own identity...that of a failure.Else why would a man fail if he finds success behind every failure?The battle is not lost until you think that it is time to surrender.The failure surrenders even before the battle begins,so there is no chance for even martyrdom.


In today's world, ofcourse other complex and intricate factors come into play while sketching the anatomy of a failure. Peer pressure is one, familial pressure is another...But looking closely at all of these minor stuff,(which in entirety forms a much larger picture)it all boils down to the crooked timber of humanity...ego issues.Subdue your ego and you'll get immuned to all of this.Chuck your bloated ego and you go from a bum with a reserve of negative energy lying in nothingness to a knight with a world of positive energy, reaching for the stars.But this, ofcourse, lies in the discussions pertaining to the anatomy of a successful man.


That's a failure through my eyes...the eyes of another failure.Its miserable when a failure gives sound advice to another failure but his own advice falls into his deaf ears.I'm a creature living dead.(Hey now don't be scared!)Because a failure who acknowledges the anatomy of a failure and refuses to change, is not a failure... he is FAILED.


Thank you.

"But when he keeps imagining and hallucinating about the future, about his dreams...it is bound to push him away from the main tract of life"
I don't agree entirely with this. Who is to decide what is the "main tract of your life" ? How are you going to give your best and move on from failures if you don't have some dream, some ideal that inspires you to do so ? I'm not saying it's advisable to keep living in your dreams --just don't throw them away mercilessly.

Gosh, I know something about giving wonderful advice to others and using none of it myself ...
PS -- Your English is amazing.

Aahh..my friend Dernhelm,a dream, to me is a portrait.It is a Vincent Van Gough painting..impeccable in its class and standards.That is why it is so desirable.But when a toddler like me comes and uses the untrained brush, to paint my own imagination...an imagination drowned in vanity, do you think you'll be able to distinguish the painting as a Van Gough classic later on? I speak in riddles...but i think you can put two and two to make four.

Compliments accepted with pleasure...comrade in the battle of the Pelennor fields...

It is hard to be left behind, to sit devoid of hope,abandoning one's dreams until one decays into dust --when all one wants is to ride forth to battle...but Dernhelm's wars are with herself and no one may know of them.
