Human mind is a maze that is rather difficult to understand. It is full of linear thinking at large but unexpected complexities at times. Situations come when logic gives way to emotion etc.
I was intrigued by Firo B when I did this exercise almost 25 years ago in college. What I have seen after all these years is that many of us do not want to believe what we are doing.
A teenager is well aware of the exam the next day but just because the attraction of learning the new style of serving in tennis is far more attractive, time is devoted there. Nothing wrong with it except for either the preparation is satisfactory or the subject matter has been made dull by design. So much so for Indian education system that teaches the fundamental premise - success is quantification in terms of marks, title, money, size of house, car etc.
Asians (Indians in particular) are termed as "Peacocks" in the terminology used by a beverage company. Consumption is driven more by what others say than self indulgence. Brands - ahoy!
Similar is the behaviour shown by many managers. Aggression, pin pointing errors etc as it shows they are demanding. Is it true in ALL cases? I am not sure!
I will write on the similarioties between poor and super rich in the coming week.
