Here is a lil story
There is a Kingdom where there are only two wells from which ppl drink water.
One from which the villagers drink and the other one for the royal family..
N someday a powerful wizard who wanted to destroy the entire kingdom placed a magic potion in the well from which the inhabitants drink and "whoever drank water from the well would go mad" The next day morning, the whole population drank from the well apart from the king and his family. The king was worried and tried to control the population by issuing a series of edicts governing security and public health.
The policemen and the inspectors however had also drunk the poisoned water and they thought the king’s decisions were absurd and resolved to take no notice of them.
When the inhabitants of the kingdom heard these decrees they became convinced that the king had gone mad was giving nonsensical orders. They marched on the castle and called for his abdication.
In despair, the king prepared to step down from the throne, but the queen stopped him, saying : "Let us go and drink from the communal well. Then, we will be the same as them".
And that was what they did: the king and the queen drank water of madness and immediately began talking nonsense.
Their subjects repented at once; now that the king was displaying such wisdom, why not allow him to continue ruling the country?
The country continued to live in peace, although its inhabitants behaved very differently from those of its neighbors. And the king was able to govern until the end of his days...
Funny isn’t it... Nope, this is reality, and this is what we have been doing, following things what others do and consider it sensible even if some of it does not make any sense.
But how does the society look at it ? If we do things which is followed by others then you are considered normal, however if you want to lead a life of your own, in your own free will, people call you mad..
Guys.. If you are someone who is different, but want to be the same as everyone else, in my view, I will call you mad !!!!
Be what you are!!!
