Victory-does the word ring a bell? Mankind in general dies to succeed,craves to come out in flying colors.The point of focus has always been the pinnacle.The very basis of our lives seem to revolve around success so much so that all our time and energy is devoted to something we perceive as triumph.Is victory all that sweet?Does it deserve so much attention? Is there a flip side to it?

If one were to look at things from a slightly different perspective,perhaps if we were to get to the bottom of what it means to emerge atop one might get an insight into our queries.

To start with,what one sees as victory,success and triumph may not be all that it was meant to be.To be able to discern what it means to us and in the right sense is a challenge by itself.It is imperative to get our ideals and goals right at the first place.

If one has crossed this hurdle,then comes the next phase.Are we involved in a rat race where we have let mob tendencies get the better of us or is it a sustained effort on the right lines for a cause that speaks for itself.Surviving and moulding ourselves in the proper framework is very important to justify the efforts that go into the process of perceived victory.

To go through the expectations,the nerve-wracking demands of the self and of others and to pull ourselves through this stretch for wants that could be clouded in self-doubt ,looks like an unnecessary burden that we have chosen to clad upon ourselves with the least desire to do so.

Let us assume that we are out of this -what? The processs and the progress to victory has been done.The accolades start to pour in. Eyebrows raised,glances exchanged,your level props up and a whole new dimension of you emerges to the extent hyped beyond the throes of your wildest dreams,that you start to believe all that is happening to be real,your foot that were aching to find a steady footing on the ground are now flying in stratas that you never thought of before.You are thrown into a zone of make believe world to which you may not really belong and yet the comical paradox is that you are not only immersed in it but you also start to think that it is your way of life.Any takers for this line of thought? Has this not happened to the so called victors.

Men and women being made into heroes in their times when they are not ready to face the full impact of what follows from the purported victory, who lose thier way in this illusion and take to reaching levels not in line with their abilities and fall from a great height and are not able to take in the impact of the declension.what a fall?what a thud!

Fallacy has taken the place of foreseen victory.All love for life seems lost.In this fast paced world where media zooms to make heroes and zeroes in no time,the real victors are those who can decide for themselves, play with a level head and cool intellect,those who can see things the way they ought to be and be the triumphant in the true essence and spirit of the word and where victor’s situation is not seen as a predicament of sorts.
