Exaggeration? Music? Graphic Novels? Sarcasm? Ideology? Do all these words interest you? If they do, you should probably read the following essay. A research planned to inform you potential readers, about a small ride into the world of exaggeration and its influence on other factors like music/musicians, society, graphic novels etc. Although I would love not to insult anyone, I think I didn’t succeed! Remember it’s just a Ride.
SOCIETY
We exaggerate two types of experiences: positive and negative. In society people inherently like to story-tell. The more interesting the story, the more they are liked and accepted by others. They do everything possible to get ahead in life. To get ahead, they cheat each other, back stab, and commit many sinful acts. Also, they educate themselves so they are capable of doing whatever is required of them. Unfortunately or not human being is born with this feeling of represent himself as the biggest achievement of society and mainly not his fault. Nowadays creating something that does not exists or exists at a small rate puts you in a “good” position in society, it makes you look like the ultimate man. A good husband, a good father, a good business man, a good friend the right man for society, but why don’t you take a look around you? How many of these men do you know or do you heard of? Well the rate is not very high. Society sees at advertising, in movies and television all this “good examples” and it’s created to him is the need to be alike but when he realizes that he just can’t then the exaggeration comes into play.
Exaggeration is natural tendency of our minds and the fact is recognized by every psychologist. Yet when we study human thought and action we forget the ability to exaggeration and exercise our ingenuity in accounting for seemingly odd social facts which could be readily explained by applying this principle. There are not, perhaps, any branches of human activity in which the tendency to exaggerate is not marked. In history, persecutions and revolutionary disturbances have resulted from the exaggeration of an idea which may have been just in itself, but, taking possession of the mind, it assumes an absolute character, while nothing divide to counterbalance it and acting under the domination of an exclusive preoccupation, men commit deeds of most astonishing character.
