However the reality is that because of the high competitive nature of the life style, individuals in the society does not have time even to sit down and reflect on what ‘happiness’ is all about.
Of cause, there is one party that is benefited. They are called “Investors”. While the rest (majority) of the society is asked to compete with each other, these people cash in. The system demands more and more passion, desire and hatred in order to keep this vicious cycle live. Those who are benefited from this vicious cycle, come up with various ideas to fuel this cycle.
The ‘American Idol’ was one of those ideas that came up in the master minds of capitalism in USA. The fueling ingredients of capitalism passion, desire and hatred (negative factors of humanism) is here sugar coated with a positive term “talent”. They say that they are looking for talent and promoting talent of the people. However the reality is they are gradually justifying and infiltrating passion and extreme competitiveness into the society.
Its no longer constructive criticism, but public humiliation in practice. The viewers are made used to enjoy people getting humiliated. After sometime, the society will accept this as a general norm. Once this is diffused into the society, the entrepreneurs will start practicing these same concepts to rule their workers. They will ask co workers to compete with each other and lesser (or workers having lesser desire, passion or hatred) workers will be publicly humiliates as shown in “American Idol”.
Talent is no longer something that you appreciate and enjoy. Its just another factor to make a mock of it so that others (having no talent at all) can enjoy and more importantly exploit easily.
In the evenings on TV, you may enjoy set of people getting humiliated in the name of cometion for talent. But following mornings you will be the victim of same culture that was blindly imported from the west.
