To succede now in any sphere,one simply has to make a lot of noise and show. Now that doesn't mean that there aren't valuable and valid things being done by the super confident, but how much are we missing out on as a society by our obsession with the dazzle of brash,confident,grasping glamour and celebrity.
Football fans every year are amazed to discover that a postman or a lad on the dole can outpace and outplay some of the world's best players as the F.A. cup and it's giant killers are unleashed and every year it acts as a shop window and gives otherwise unseen talent a chance.
So it is in most if not all walks of life that the attractive or the pushiest or their offspring not only get catapulted to the heights and once there, resolutely maintain their elite society, inviting in the current crop of performing dogs.
The aristocracy has never gone away. It smokes dope,picks its nose and farts in public but it is still there,. Dictating how we should think,dress eat. Who we should swoon over and dream of becoming.
A champagne God a bling princess an ipodiphoneimphucked world of nothing and dross. And yes some of it's valid but very little.
There are those who are awkward,shy,lacking in the right connections. Quiet people who may have something that the world needs. The world will never benefit because these people never know where the doors are, much less how to open them.
So let me ask you this? Are you happy to be ruled by, entertained by clothed,fed and housed by this shallow self serving arrogant elite? Are you a part of it? Do you feel any more free in our democratic world than those demanding change in the Arab world.
Are you ready to end the mediacrocy?
