Woes of a Yes man

Since time immemorial we have had a very extreme relationship with the beings who surround us. The extremities being – potent loathing and uncharacteristic over-dependence. And it doesn't help when pretenders sully our good name. Who are we, you ask. Well we are the original, untainted and suffering. We are who get framed because of the impostors. We are who can always be depended upon, even to our peril. We are the Yes Men.

Maybe that was a little over the top, but our tale is such that it becomes difficult to contain the flood of emotions. For years our kind has been exploited due to our inability to turn down people. Many of us might have the capacity to handle more than most – but taking it for granted, that’s just plain wrong. Just because we say Sir R. Jadeja that doesn't mean the queen has to knight him now does it.

Oh! and to add to the anguish we get blamed because the people around set a high overall expectation. News Flash….. that isn't our doing. Yeah you heard me. We by nature do not reach out, because quite frankly nobody wants to do more than they have to unless one is really crazy about it. It’s the pretenders I tell you. These loud and pompous brats who keep piling things on thereby making the others, who stay in their comfort zone, look bad. You know what the worst part is when these impostors bite more than they can chew they unload on,surprise surprise, us. So next time please get your facts straight before blaming another poor bugger of our kind.

I reach out to all you good folk hoping that my kind may get some peace of mind. That it will have some respite from the deceivers who masquerade as overachievers, but all they do is coattail other hardworking people and put them under greater pressure. That we will be truly understood.

We are true by nature and by design. Even though we do not appreciate when people pile their responsibilities on us but still we can live with it as long as we get the credit due. But the way things are turning out, the unthinkable isn't far from being realized.

The day we are finally forced to say NO.
