The Lucky Idiot's Dilemma

In everyday life we often come across variety of people. Some times we see awesome people, some other times we see strange people, and worse case scenario we have to bear with ultimate schmucks as boss. Then the thing that comes to our mind is "How the hell did this schmuck made it this far!?". I am definitely not on the schmuck side fellas, I'm a small fish you know. I being the witness of many such episodes, feel pride in coining the term "The Lucky Idiot's Dilemma".

In this scenario, a lucky idiot somehow gets pass many clever self proclaimed geniuses. He/she  makes it to some sort of top position. The dilemma part starts hereafter,  when our beloved idiot(the hero) reaches on the top.

For a normal run of the mill idiot, things start falling apart at this point. Poor guy tries a lot to keep them together, but every effort and every measure worsens the situation. And finally, crash landing which is bound to hurt(an broken heart and/or ribs). These people then spend rest of their lives recalling memories from good days, and boring their grand children with same stories over and over again. Stories about this right move, and that wise step which they took on their climax.

Some times the I (I for Idiot) somehow manages to pass through the dilemma phase intact, but during the episode of his life which might be several years long he's destroyed by the immense pressure. Just like a rich family's only kid, who always plays on the back foot just because he's always afraid that he'll destroy the fortune his parents built for him on cost of their lives.

Jealous competent people also play an important role in pulling lucky idiots down the ladder of success. It's like "get here mother f*****, I've been waiting for this promotion for years". Though luck if often much more powerful than the conspiring minds, and somehow the I always manages to get away. Yet there are instances when poor I's finally dragged down, and "dishonored".

Then there's a "Lucky Forever Idiot", or maybe "Lucky Idiot Forever", or maybe "I on steroids". The rare species whose luck's always favoring him(or her, hey c'mon! I'm not a gender biased I). No matter what moves he's making, things always get better and better for him. And most often this type of people start fascinating themselves as demigods, the ultimate philosopher, or something else of the sort. Apparently God won't bother changing the course of things, but some time He intervenes and leaves a good lesson for others following the same path.

Conclusion: 

If we start observing, most of us will feel that they them self are a "Lucky I", and that they got luxuries in life they surely don't deserve. We often come across a very hard working yet low paid person, an under estimated genius. Therefore, I think all of us must share our fortune with others in trouble, and help others as much as we can. One must make it an integrated principal of their life, help people in any form. Money is not the only form of help, we may be a very good carrier counselor helping students to choose a line of study for their future, or project coordinator for some charity organization, volunteer for earthquake or flood victims, donate blood. The possibilities are endless, literally endless. Only realizing the fact of matter, and then changing or I would say upgrading one's attitude towards life will unleash them and give one the courage to step forward and take on the challenge.
