PROMINENCE WHAT FOR AND WHY WHEN WE ALL KNOW ONCE WE DIE, WHATEVER PROMINENCE WE HAVE GAINED, JUST REMAINS ON PAPER FOR HISTORY, ON PHOTOS TO LOOK BACK, TO BE CELEBRATED IN THE FORM OF ANNIVERSARIES. IN ANSWER I THINK IT IS THE LUST TO PLEASE THE EYES, MIND AND EVEN THE BRAIN TO BE IDENTIFIED AND RECOGNISED FOR SOMETHING EXCEPTIONAL GAINED AND/OR ACHIEVED. OUR EYES, EMOTIONS, MIND AND BRAIN PLAY A GREAT ROLE TO ENJOY AND BE SATISFIED. THIS PHENOMENON WE FIND IN EACH AND EVERYTHING LIKE -EATING FOOD -WEAR -ASSOCIATION -FACIAL COLOUR -BODY STRUCTURE -FLATTERY -DEFEATING SOMEONE -EXCELLING OTHERS -SELECTION OF THE BEST AND EXCEPTIONAL ONE IT IS TO PLEASE OUR EYES AND GET SATISFACTION THAT WE SEE THE CHANGES IN FASHION, ENJOY NARRATIVES IN POEMS AND KAVI SAMELANS ETC. BESIDES WE FIND THAT PROMINENCE AND EXCELLING OTHERS GIVES FINANCIAL GAIN AND ENABLES ONE TO LIVE BETTER LIFE. NEED NOT BE FORGOTTEN, PROMINENCE NEEDS STRUGGLE, LIFE RISK, BRUSHING ASIDE AND CRUSHING ASIDE CRITICISM AND THE OPPONENTS AS WELL. WHY SO, ALL THIS HAPPENS TO SHOW IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD, SOCIETY, NATION AND THE WORLD AT LARGE HOW MUCH GREAT AND POWERFUL ONE IS THAT THERE IS NONE TO MATCH HIM/HER. ALAS. OLD AGE DOES SETS IN, SOONER OR LATER, ENEMIES DEVELOP AND GROW TO THROW AWAY AND/OR TO KILL EVEN. HENCE BY NATURE THROUGH DISEASE ETC. OR BY MAN’S ACTION, ONE IS GONE, PERHAPS PROMINENCE AS WELL, IF NOT, ONE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE PROMINENCE FOR WHICH ONE STRUGGLED, FOUGHT FOR AND ACHIEVED IN SOME MANNER OR THE OTHER. NOW THE QUESTION ARISES WHETHER IT IS WORTH TO GO IN FOR PROMINENCE AND RISK THE LIFE. YES FOR THOSE WHO FIND SOMETHING EXCEPTIONAL IN THEM, THEY RISK THEIR LIFE AND CONTINUE STRUGGLING THROUGHOUT THEIR LIFE IN BELIEF WHETHER TO STRUGGLE FOR PROMINENCE OR NOT, ONE DAY OR THE OTHER ONE IS TO DIE, THEN WHY NOT FIGHT AS A BRAVE PERSON, TO BE APPRECIATED AND REMEMBERED BY ALL FOR ONE’S GALLANTRY AND BRAVERY. In conclusion: if one can, one must struggle to excel and achieve prominence in whatever field one choses, to get satisfaction, prominence and to enjoy monetary gains attached thereto. APPRECIATION IS HUMAN WEAKNESS, PROMINENCE IS EXCEPTIONAL, IS ACHIEVED BY EXCEPTIONAL ONE AND IS APPRECIATED TILL ONE LIVES ONE’S LIFE AND HOPES TO BE REMEMBERED AFTER HIS/HER DEATH.
