The Maximum Security "Pyramid".

The Pyramid structure as they call it.., which sustains the organisations.., of all varieties.., commercial.., political..., religious.., and spiritual.., offers the maximum returns with maximum security. A punchline that can captivate the minds of one and all who seeks to make a heaven on this earth. I might have been slightly mistaken in interpreting life as going from one circle to another.., it could be, rather should be going from one pyramid to another. A person who is creative feels stifled in the "pyramid" that tries to suffocate him to a maintainer..., which either kills of his conscience or makes him eject from that pyramid and create a new pyramid of his own, which unfortunately resembles the one that he ejected from, in structure. This is mighty true in all the surviving organisations.., be it commercial.., religious.., political.., or spiritual. The only person whom I saw being an exception to this law was Jesus. His theory was not to lead but to serve. Not to create a structure, but to empower people to listen to the voice of God. Is this what Gary Mcgregor spoke of in his Y-theory of management??? May be yes.., but management people are supposed to be in control of all the variables.., where as Jesus trusted his Father to show him the variables at the right time. Doesn't this sound like a paradox??? It does, and is indeed a paradox when Y-theory stoops down to "just another method of manipulating".

So long live the The Maximum Security "Pyramid"s..., that churn out the money that sustains the bustling population on this earth.

[P.S: The population on the earth means the 5% of people who belong to the topmost layer of these pyramids.]

Though the runaways create new pyramids which might resemble the one they left, I don't think they are unsatisfied.
Eg: Howard Hughes, Bill Gates, NarayanMurthy Etc

Yeah you are right..., every newer version was a bit better than the tyranny of the previous one..., atleast on the face of it. And definitely relieving and satisfying for those who created 'em.

But the ultimate question is whether the pyramid structure is the destiny of mankind.

Firstly, I confess that I don't really approve of the pyramid structure. But, I think, atleast for a long time, this is going to be the fate of mankind. I'm not a protagonist of this model. But I think I may embrace it with humility in my lifetime. May be I'm afraid, maybe I'm lazy or may be I'm incapable.

May be yes may be not...,

But only if you take the leap and lose your baggage would you know how far it can progress..., may be it would have already progressed much more than we imagine or may be our imaginations were mere illusions..., reality is independent of the individual perceptions..., even though for each of us, our perceptions end up being the reality.
