			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have always believed only two kinds of men live in this world, the ones who try difficult things and the ones who don’t. Society calls them by lot of names; the men who try and succeed are called as Winners, Champions, and Achievers; the men who have tried and failed are ridiculed with names like Losers, Failures or nonstarters. But what about the people who haven’t tried nor do they intend to, aren’t these people much worse that the people who have tried and lost. Let’s call these people spectators for lack of a better insult. </p>
<p>Spectators live their life observing the participants, cheering for them, criticizing them and also thinking they are them. In reality, Spectators are really insignificant to human evolution, they don’t change things, and they don’t improve things, even for themselves. Their whole journey of life begins with a search of a benevolent leader who is a solution to all their problems and misfortunes; they keep searching until they are wrong and when they are wrong, they are quick to blame the system for not being right. Spectators also don’t understand that system is not a will of god but a will of men, men who went ahead, tried difficult things and succeeded enough to put in place a set of rules which are favorable to men not spectators. System by itself does not hold any intrinsic value; it is altered by men to suit their needs and they gradually make the system resilient enough to not harm them at all. The system is also planned keeping in mind the opportunities it provides for smart people to be in the class of men, instead of being lost in the artificial world of spectators.     </p>
<p>This is how the world works, a minority few men control or set rules for masses or spectators; they make the decisions so that spectators don’t have to. Will there be a world where everyone will have equal rights, my answer would be No. System is designed to reward people who have undergone difficulties; the people who have succeeded will be the ones who will obtain a chance to alter the system for their benefits. So next time when you talk about how a government bailed out a corporation with tax-payers money or how millions are losing jobs every quarter because some men made decisions for you, don’t blame the system or government. Blame yourself for being a spectator. </p>
<p><em>What is the difference between a man and a parasite? A man builds. A parasite asks &#8216;Where is my share?&#8217; A man creates. A parasite says, &#8216;What will the neighbors think?&#8217; A man invents. A parasite says, &#8216;Watch out, or you might tread on the toes of God&#8230;&#8217;</em> – <strong>BioShock.</strong></p>
