In this world i have noticed one thing ....and that is............ the
people who are either beautifull or well heeled .....some are blessed
with both these attributes ....money and looks .....these people do have
an easy road as far as getting accepted in a particular organisation or
platform is concerned ...... they do have an edge over people who are
not good looking or rich .....this does not mean that all that a
beautifull or rich person says is accepted as the ultimate truth or that
their life is a bed of roses ......they do have their own crosses to
bear ......but yes they do have an edge over the others............
BUT......... the poor always do have to fight to make their voice heard
and accepted in most platforms
Today being Valentine's day there is another thing that i always think about, 14th feb is celebrated as a day of love in most parts of the world. If one reads any romantic novel the author's description of the people in love is usually that of a person who is beautifull, of course there are exceptions to this rule example the Hunchback of Notre Dame who was so very much in love.... There are other instances of the hero or heroine of a love story not being beautifull in their physical being ...but then the author would compensate for this so called ''lacking'' by building up the character of this not so beautifull hero/heroine by giving them the most pleasant of temperaments.
My question is ..... why is this so .....because when we look at the common man world over, we see so many instances of such intense love and companionship between people who do not fit into the normal definitions of beauty. Will there ever be pageants for the common man who is above such definitions, citations, awards, fame or any such recognitions ........... and that is why the common man and woman is a Hero in my eyes ......so ordinary are their lives, so hard their struggle to make ends meet, so ingenious their ways to go about keeping their body and soul together and just as intense as a romantic their feeling for family and friends .....
