Why do we like people who do crazy things?
With the madness for connectedness, we all are in a frenzy of knowing what everyone else whom we know from some place is doing these days. So, you happen to know what your friend's uncle's daughter got married on a beach or how a friend got in touch with someone from Italy do develop a pathbreaking app or how a friend went alone on a road trip of 500 kms on the deadliest route ever. Stuff like that.
We all have those kind of friends who do crazy things. Something that is not routine. We have engineers among us who do such crazy things too.
My question to the rest, why is it that we admire people who do crazy things. It is our generation that thinks doing anything out-of-the-box or behaving/thinking in extraordinary manner makes us cool or something else?
I think sometimes we overrate the 'crazy'. What's wrong with doing the ordinary, simple things? Why doesn't anybody admire that? Do people feel left out when they think they are just too ordinary?
Or do we need more and more people to turn crazy to actually see a sea of change in the society?
Do give it some thought. I would love to read your opinions on this.
