Once upon a time...there was a beautiful land called Society.
The land still exists...the applicability of the adjective is questionable though...
Monarchy has prevailed in this land for ages. In the 1970’s the falling of the dynasties of Simplicity, Humility and Quietude ushered in the era of the Complex-es.
The first king:
First name: Inferiority
Last name: Complex
This tyrant had imposed radical ideas on his subjects. Most subjects who in the period of confusion chose to follow his principles ended up living lives of despair and abysmally low self esteem. A bunch of rebels refused to succumb to his rule and tried to infuse reason and logic in the minds of the dwellers of Society. But they were largely unsuccessful.
That is when they abducted Inferiority’s son and raised them in the wilderness on their own new found philosophies and ideas. When the time was right...they christened him the new monarch in the new millennium.
Yes...you have got it right.
The second king:
First name: Superiority
Second name: Complex
Everyone in the land of Society loved Superiority’s ideas. They all came out of servile mindsets that their forefathers had suffered from. They felt happy all the time.
The wise rebels were successful...or so they thought.
Until...
...they found out that every one is so complacent that they snub all new ideas.
They are so pleased with themselves that concept of praising someone else was blending into oblivion. Every mediocre person believes in the new mantra, “I am the best...you are worthless.”
The wise rebels knew they were in trouble.
The rebels have abducted Superiority’s son too and are bringing him up with the revised lessons. But the rebels are growing old and their hopes are dimming...
PS: By the way this new kid has chosen to drop his father’s surname and instead use the surname from the distaff side...well...I will leave it for you to guess the surname...
probably u would be the fittest one to suggest the surname :) ..
ReplyDeleteThe wittiest guess came from Sourav Mukhopadhyay for the name of the next monarch.
ReplyDeleteHis guess: "Optimus Perplex"
reminds me of Transformers .. is really the world getting rid of the HUMANE bit :) ?!
