GOD’s DARK KNIGHT

For 158 years, they did not see even a single quarter loss. Not even during the rail road collapse of the 1800, the great depression of 1930s and the collapse of long term capital management. Then one “not so” fine day, they filed bankruptcy and went bust. Yes, on Sep 15th 2008 Lehmann Bros shocked not just the financial community but the entire world.

So were similar downfalls seen among many an elite from all walks of life (too often in sports). Individuals like maradona, ronaldhino, agassi (even though his redemption makes him an exception to the rule), kamalhassan and plenty others with extraordinary brilliance and genius at their very disposal have gone through this cycle, inexplicably and invariably.

BUT WHY????

This is the million dollar question that’s been analyzed every single time such failures are seen in public. And every time one predominant and omnipotent factor is being identified as the root cause behind this phenomenon. But alas there has been no solution found out for the same (for a reason never will be).

So who/what is this ever surviving malaise that’s destroying people/organization that once seemed indestructible. How, when and where does it germinate, spread its wings to make people soar higher and higher (human are so ignorant they never see it coming) and eventually cuts down their flight and brings them back with such a force that leaves them as dead as possible.

When a man/woman/organization is beginning to find their foothold in their respective fields, this little embryo makes its first appearance in their womb (human mind). For every forward step taken by the human, the little devil takes 2 steps. But it’s so slick and stealthy; human mind is not able to capture this growth. So by the time humans attain success in their life (or some think they do), this medium of destruction takes over the mind so completely, they are left clueless as to even contemplate what happened let alone to find ways to prevent it.

It makes them 100% blind (cos it’s not the eyes but mind that’s blinded), it knows exactly what it is doing and how it is gonna go about its tasks. It never comes alone or in the same form. It camouflages itself behind various masks like pride, arrogance, over confidence, disdain for others and many more.

Every one but the affected mind is able to see it and some soulless souls surrounding this mind (under the deceiving cloak of friendship) feed this little virus every now and then (with the sole aim of destructing the person) and enjoy reveling in the predicted outcome, the downfall from glory.

The souls that are pained to see this destruction (because they are the genuine friends and well wishers) of the concerned are unable to let the person’s mind see the pitfall and hence the possibility to avoid it. This is cos the virus that’s so bloated now, does not want the mind to listen to the truth and recover from the fall into ever deepening abyss. And as with every thing there is a breaking point. These friends who becomes so hopeless of turning the situation around, leave the affected for good in search of respite and sanity (you cannot blame them for this).

During all this time, the virus manipulates the mind to stay in ignorance, by making them blame everything and everyone around but themselves. They get so locked up inside this darkness, they are either not willing to come out of it (scared to see the truth) or as in many cases are unable to come out of it. At this moment the bastard pretty much hits the final nail in their coffin and seals their irrecoverable fall into the abyss (deservedly so).

Because for the survival of humanity and continuous prosperity of mankind, this stealthy little devil called EGO is the darkest of all creations by the GOD himself.
