Sometimes its best to be a spectator and watch the circus roll. It would be unwise to draw the spotlight away from the clown. Similarly, as much as you'd like to drive something to perfection you should sometimes just be a spectator and seek recluse from a distance. It's difficult to resonate with people who donot match your wavelength but most of the times you'd be expected to. It's like being caught behind a slow moving truck which refuses to budge from the fastest lane on a freeway. If your ideas seem anachronistic, just be patient. Your time is yet to arrive. If things around seem in disorder, just take a deep breath. It's probably someone elses job to clean up the mess. Sometimes its better to be an unknown face backstage than to be a puppet on the stage whose strings are drawn by someone else. It's better to put your foot down when you have had enough than to try dancing on one foot to the tunes of others. Sometimes you know you are the smarter of the lot and therefore you consider it best to shut up for the larger good. Often the naked truth is the toughest to hide in a masquerade of lies and a parade of surrealism. It takes a lot to standup for what's right but it takes even more to know what's right, to not be blinded by common thinking, to rise beyond the ordinary, to build expectations when none exist, and to brave the truth when the world around is united by a camaraderie stemming from being comfortable in mediocrity.
