One in a Million

He is a type by himself, and Carl Jung would have been happy to meet him, so that he could have added yet another archetype based on him; however it would be wrong to say that he represented a sizable majority among the human persons. One should bear in mind, while describing this person, I would naturally add up things from my own bias and prejudice, which is no less in this case. But one thing is sure, he is but one in a million, and I was un/fortunate to live with him for about two years to really know his true color, which is quite different from how he is known and how he project himself to be in public. No wonder he is talented, intelligent, man of morale to a certain extent, but the list might end there.

It may be difficult to find a person who is as calculative and scheming as he is; everything he does or says is colored by a well thought out strategy, which for the most part is colored by his own bias and prejudice. He should have been an ace chess player, because he could calculate rather accurately, but the pity is that a good majority of the people around could make out his moves and can say with certain amount of accuracy what he is up to. There is often an obsession to one’s own benefit, and that of his own kinsmen, which would border on his cultural, linguistic group. He would have also made an excellent military commander, in the way he positions his men to face any onslaught on him or his dear ones, whom he would go any length to favor.

One suspects if he has a heart at all, because all that he is obsessed for the most part of his days is an overly intellectual exercise, whereby he rationalizes even the simplest of things and realities, to give an intellectual approach to reality. But most often human reality cannot be grasped sufficiently by the intellect or the mind; we may have to take recourse to the human heart, and that would be impossible for him. He would easily brand anyone who is easily moved by the heart rather than the intellect, and would not hesitate to even condemn the persons with a predominant heart approach, and appreciate those who are heady. This naturally had caused a lot of damage to the people he had been the boss of. But that is one reality no one had any control over.

The common good can be easily given up at the expense of his own welfare, his individual good, and most often he would expect everyone to adjust their programs and works in order to suit to his demands and desires. His personal and individual good is the primary criteria for all that he would be involved with, and to put it graphically, he would expect everyone around him to dance to his tune, and would be furious if someone were to disagree with him or try to play a tune different from his own. This attitude had promoted a slavish attitude in many of the men working under his direction. He does not consider the needs and wants of others as equally valid and important. This is surely one of the greatest weaknesses of this great man.

Now why do I go to this extent to present a picture of this person? What do I get out of pouring out my allegations (some of which are based on my own prejudice, as I had already cautioned!) here? There is very little that I would benefit by pouring out here, except the fact that my heart would feel light. When we begin to relate to people, we often come across certain persons who leave a positive imprint in our hearts, and some others negative. Those who leave an indelible mark in our hearts are often enshrined in the niche of our hearts, and those who have left a negative imprint in our hearts are often looked down upon, and that is sure to cause something to the world we live in. The negative force that this person spews can affect the positive vibrations of the universe. But perhaps that may be neutralized by the persons with noble and holy virtues.
