There are two types of people who get fame in world, bears and bees. Bees are those who get fame by hard work or talent and bears are those who get fame by hitting bee’s fame. That is bees built the beehive stock it up with honey and bears just paw at it and get it.
Everyone has heard the name of tagore, everyone loves and respects his work, I used to observe that some writers had a habit of ruthlessly attacking him and his works, as if that is the sole motto of their life. They were born for this. I almost worship tagore hence I really hated them, till one day some one pointed out a fact to me.
She said if you visit them invisibly you might see that they are devouring on tagore’s works, but they use him as easy way to fame.
She said, if they praised tagore like everyone does half of the people might not have even read the articles, but as they are acting against the tide, throwing mud at a respected figure, they are earning everyone’s glare.
People have forgotten a lot of people who even died for Gandhiji, but none has forgotten Nathuram Godse.
There are people who act like trees and there are people who are like mistletoes, thrive on them.
Just like the bear and bee, one piles up the honey other gets the honey by pawing on it.

I think such people really deserve bee's sting.
ReplyDeleteDear sister, Do you know about Marty Robin (NothingProfound a user and a member of your thoughtful group on B.C).
Your post reminds me one of his quote:
"A fool that cursed the sun, was surprised to see it still shining"
I think this really fits on people who act like bear according to the exmple you have provided above.
Nice Post, I have started to believe that you are gradually becoming a philospher or a psychologist.
Wish you all the best!
dearest brother,
ReplyDeletemarty's aphormisms are simply fantastic.. they are too good. i have taken his permission to sometimes put them in my blog with his url added.. he is an extremely intelligent person.
though i am smiling a wicked smile but i agree with you.. these people who throw mud at others without any reason or out of greed deserve to be stinged by dozens of bumble bees :)
