"Empathy doesn't necessarily guarantee sympathy to one in need"

Candidly I have had an over doze of phrases like-"Success isn't important but significance is","Just work hard and success will follow"  and so on..Even the great motivational gurus like Robin Sharma have laid emphasis on phrases like "success is important but significance is even better".

But as a perspective of a layman,practical is what,that works more often than not and the real time
examples that are set in the recent past are the most effective ways of setting one's belief in such seemingly vague concepts.

I am not an advocate of success neither do i perceive significance behind success superficial in any belittling way.
To come bluntly, as an Indian I have seen enough quandaries,turmoils all around and pandemonium and even more significantly the ever accruing poor rather extremely wretched poor in explosive numbers.

Well till the time an Indian layman remains in picture(rather lingers!!), the story always revolves around these two magical words-'Success' & 'Significance'.Always creating a catch22 alike the "Hen and Egg" story, where it's still a myth whether which one of the two existed earlier than the other.
It would always be an anachronistic anecdote and a fairly colorful one most of the times.

But the 'White and Black' cinema starts kicking off when a poor living and dwelling in slums and filthy spheres of this planet(yeppi that same planet whose considerable part is occupied in opulence) comes into picture. And now the play-the play on those two magical words, suddenly shifts and crosses those sinuous and tortuous paths,depleting a player and crushing it to non-existence.It's a plain game of a plain Jane, who doesn't seem to understand what significance mean.


Now i ask those so called 'wow' phrases - what would success mean to somebody who can't even perceive significance or may be how would significance be defined,where success by and large is undefined in their ever waning lives,where pestilences have been taking care of the physicals and pittances ruining the mentalities,where ruptures don't spread vibes and celebrations where are a mere shift of honed worries.

The Play on Flamboyance
For not a perversion
But for the restroration of the colors of life
In an attempt to say good bye to sordid,
In turn bringing the frenzy of the sparse cognomen of color

Mind it;
As it's an infancy lesson of greater importance;

Chanting the songs is an infant,
Not of ruptures
But has infact fallen for the aphrodisiac of the music of colors

It's not about specification
But the opalescent brightness they scatter
A toddler half a mind to acknowledge the artificiality
but surely twice a heart  to discover the significance

It's an infancy lesson of greater importance;

Accounts for a lost adult's larceny of emotions
Often reminds him of his penchants
But instead of being dazzling
have turned into the dimmest of dreams
like the adultery a most talented impotent imagines,

Surely it's an infancy lesson of greater importance;

In retrospect he follows,
and finds difficult to abandon the hollows
The memoirs accost him so often
Hold him to topple
As past wrote his present
and future lays in resent;

In deliberation ,Camoufalges the obvious

Seems it's an infancy lesson of greater importance;

For him
A phantasm happiness has become,
but infancy brings a ray
that may help keep despair at bay

It's an infancy lesson of greater importance!!!
