the marketplace

the marketplace is a smorgasbord of opinions. The foundation of this smorgasbord are a paradox in themselves.

At one end we have the democratizing urge that all humans are equal, that you are no better than John Doe whom you meet, interact with, are neighbours with, play with et al.

At the other end, we have this competitive edge that marks us to think of us as different individuals, each with her/his own individuality, each created uniquely, each made for an activity, the activity itself having an hierarchy much in contrast to a democratic approach.

We are all out here trying to polish our selves a niche above the rest at the same time we also subscribe to a democratizing thought of existence. We are a paradox in ourselves. I mean if we are all equal why are we trying to be a cut above the rest.

We say we are all equal, we have equal opportunities, equal rights but we have to elect one leader, we have that one vote.

If we are all equal what would be the need to elect one above all to lord over us, and we do this wilfully ...mind you!

We think in paradoxes and we live in a paradox, and we are being educated in a paradox.....
