You are the 99% : Well you're to blame.

Reading through the newspaper today, I could not fail to notice that Occupy Wall street movement has made it to the buzz words in 2011. The persons who haven't found the subject worth a read, the movement is against the economic inequality extant in the United States. Though the same follows for a major part of the world, the movement is focussed entirely in United States, as of now.

I could not stop but wonder, if there is a distinction between these people asking for more and better jobs, and a newbie asking to be made the next player to be included in the Indian test team. Both of them don't have the much needed ability to handle the pressures, be it a job or being a test player. Instead of protesting, I would rather ask these people to change themselves a bit, equip themselves with the necessary knowledge and think along the lines, which the so called Rich, do.

If the top 1% control 40% of their wealth, they have earned the god damn right to do so. They know how to handle that money, and how to use it in their favors. Only if people could not see them as plunderers but motivation to get going. These are not hard turtle shells, difficult to break through. Whenever you start playing a game, there are always good players ready to burn you out right from the beginning. Do you ask Microsoft or Sony to change the rules of the game so that you all start from square 1 again?

So be a sport, and play the game. It's fun.
