Some people just love to give “gyaan”. Hours and hours of lecture on anything and everything. Be it the office meetings or personal ones. They never miss the slightest chance to preach. Whether people are asking for it is immaterial as long as they get an opportunity to display the greatness through tortuous hours of sermons.
Believe it or not, the higher we climb up in life, the higher inclination to preach. And the lowly mortals (for reasons of their own) are held captive to long speeches. The circle is vicious, hence, when these lowly mortals, get their time, they preach downwards to find closure to their torture. The idea is not to do good to someone, but, rather to inflict what you’ve suffered.
Even funny is the fact when people give you personal advice without knowing you personally. Sometimes you can’t resist fearing the repercussion of non-adherence to authority. So all you do is nod and nod some more. Because if you don’t you will have to suffer added hours of torture. Wonder why didn’t Hitler use this technique in his concentration camps? How could he miss such an effective weapon?
The sufferings are sure to get worse if you have the company of someone who is a good orator. Communication skills can be a burden then as the orator would love to practice the skills on you. Haven’t you heard, the more you practice the better you get? So be aware when in the company of people who speak well.
The best part about these “gyaanis” is that they can build everything in air like a castle, an international career for you, country’s future, rupee hike, inflation fall etc. You name it and they can do it. But they come with a big term and condition (as most retail outlets selling Hot Sale Deals where the word ‘upto’ is hideous). Their rule is simple, they build only through big talks. They are forever on planning mode and have no time to think of worldly details like execution.
Another point of observation is that it is always their way or no way. They think they have the best solution even when you haven’t asked them for one. Quite obvious, when the Earth rotates according to their advice, how dare you to refuse this precious commodity? Nothing is more knowledgeable to them than themselves. They go to the extent of preaching the little Master of Indian Cricket on how to hold the bat, the Tagore of literature on how to hold the pen, the Maradona of Soccer on how to launch a kick and so on. Then who are we?
The preachers come in all age, shape, size and gender. The minute they open their mouth, you just know you’ve run into one. They don’t charge a penny for their service but can render you redundant if you keep listening to them for long. Don’t ever expect them to help because they are incapable to act. They don’t like disagreement so keep agreeing to whatever they say to safe your sanity. If you don’t, well, risk the chance of losing your mind.
