My first meeting in my new firm..And my supreme confidence was shattered when I reached the venue late by 20 minutes.By that time the other company's representatives had come & left.I mumbled something abt 'trains being late" to my client..."Trains being late"...huh...what rubbish...what an excuse you would say..peple might even think "man, couldn't he come up with something better" Well as a Mumbaikar you know that if you have to rech a venue on time,you have to leave accordingly.Our trains although may not(probably never will) be on time alwayz but you gotto take into account the same if you leaving to reach a place on a particular time...
Anywayz the fact remains I reached the venue late...not a bright way to start a new career,first meeting...My genuine reason for the same was trains being later than normal..But I dont know how much it would go down someone's throat.The problem is people take for granted many things in life nowadays where honesty is not even understood forget even being respected/appreciated.People assume the other person to be dishonest in one way or another.Nobody is pure evil you may say hence you have laws which even allow a murderer to justify his actions & maybe pardon him also after he serves a minimum tenure in prison.The same logic is applied on the other side as well,where people are assumed to have some flaw in their character.
Filmmakers who depict all their characters having some flaws are said to make "realistic" cinema...Well If that is realistic cinema are u saying that no one is perfect then why should anyone aim being flawless..Why is it valued.The fundamental principle behind the thought is that u set a goal to perfection so that u achieve something close to that.But then what abt people who are already perfect.If Howard Roark was a symbol of perfection in some ways according to Rand who believed such people existed,are there no Howard Roarks any more???
