Whenever a group comes into being as a team, as a class or even as a work group, it's actually the coming together of people with different personalities. And whenever these different personalities are brought on a common platform, they tend to collide with each other. Most of the times, whenever I've been a part of a group I've always observed these group of people who tend to project themselves intentionally or unintentionally at a higher status than others. It's a very interesting phenomenon where these so called arrogant people and the so called humble souls gather and scorn at each other. To explain which, I use my favorite Heart Vs. Mind comparison.
People for me are broadly of two types, People of the heart and people of the mind. That is people who're governed by the heart or the mind.
The people of the heart are those who's humor is dumb, they won't mind making small compromises for some happiness and what they will say may be grammatically or politically incorrect but it will be true. People of the heart may or may not be successful but all they want at the end of every day, is to feel good and in harmony with their group.
The people of the mind are conventional definitions of success, up-to-date, go getters, successful and very proud about it in an arrogant way. Their humor is smart and their sarcasm is sharp, you can't get away with your grammatically incorrect lingo with them, act smart and they'll chew your sentimental heart like gum. People of the mind are mostly successful and even if they're not, they all want to stand out of the group in a way that the rest are projected lesser or below them.
The interesting thing is, the people of the mind click really quickly with people who're just like them and soon there is a group or a league of people within a larger group which tries to emit continuous vibes of arrogance as those disintegrated scattered "people of the heart" try to ignore it while head banging to their favorite song with the head phones plugged in.
The conclusion: Well, the people of the mind are on a pursuit of achieving constant brilliance that their egos are now addicted to. They get a small amount of happiness after every achievement soon after which they move on to the next pursuit, just like watching a bubble float in the air before bursting away and then watching another bubble going through the same.
The people of the heart on the other hand want to be achievers but they don't value achievements as much as they value experience. They'll fool around, make jokes about "people of the mind", try to make work like party. They'll just wish that the "people of the mind" chilled a little.
In the end, everyone reaches where they're supposed to reach. However, the people of the mind learn through petty pursuits of achievements and the people of the heart learn through the constant progression of experience. One of them is getting a more holistic learning that's way beyond competition and very much about individuality.
Who are you, the person of the mind or the heart ?
