Great Minds in Unrealistic World

When it comes to the innovation, we think of the greatest of the minds working hard, doing research, making things work. The inventors, the scientist, and the intellectuals whose ideas have moved the world since the dawn of civilization have one more thing common in them; they made complex thoeries look simple when they presented their ideas. They have shaped everyday life since ancient centuries. From the alarm clock which wake us in the morning to the sleep pills which make us go to bed, all are the result of someone's perseverance and insight. But now think of a world without these innovation, We know, we can't even imagine without these. And take more insight into the crux of the matter, a question arises, are/were these innovators really want/wanted these innovation for the betterment of the human community or they want/wanted to become immortal in this unrealistic world.(It sounds more of a critical/pessimistic but this is mind who thinks for me and not my soul.)

Unrealistic world can be: people living a virtual life (second life) or virtual social networking or living in a real world but acting different characters at different situations, like being at office-act like professional, being at home-act like family guy, being a visitor-act like tourist, etc.

But the theme here, I am trying to put across, is not talking about unrealistic world but exploring the great minds in this unrealistic world. How they work, how the react, how they perceive, how they conceive, how they express, how they live their life in 24 hours of each day.

''If you live in an unrealistic world then you can say everything should be a community garden''

-Mr. Giuliani

This is how, it is expressed in educated world about the world and how to live in it. knowing the fact, we are in an unrealistic world, try to be in a community and serve it. Keeping the facts at place and convincing people is the art of great minds. But ain't it that many don't know how to convince people but still they stand on the right track which can help community. But hopelessly they are not considered while implementing ideas. Great minds neednot be great speakers, great managers, great marketing gurus, great sales representatives, great PR managers, great HRs, great business makers; but they can be good at what they can do. Even a pot maker can be called a great mind based on the skill that he/she can make a pot with an innovative idea of keeping the water cool for longer hours. But in this unrealistic world if he/she can't sell his/her that pot at higher price than he/she is not a great mind at work.

I have been in touch with n number of great minds working hard and fast for 'no reason but to achieve'. They can answer the question,"What are you doing?" but can't answer,"Why are you doing this?". Then they come up with a business language reply,"We are working on this innovative approach which will bring value to customers." I guess they didn't understand my question, I asked them, "Why are you doing this?"

I can't question their great mind but the only thing that I always miss interacting them is that they don't express their own views on their individual life.

Then I guess few of the answers, on my own, which can fit best for them: they want to become immortal by doing this; they want to serve the community with this; they want to prove their knowledge to world or some individual; they want to keep themselves busy in something so that they can't face the real world; they have made comprimise with the reality in the unrealistic world and are acting as slaves to them; they want to bring a huge change in the society but are working slowly and secretly for it; they think their silence will kill the evil around.

As people become more intelligent, they care less for preaches and more for teachers

-Robert G. Ingersoll

But here the scenario seems changing, as people become more intelligent in this unrealistic world, they care less for preaches or teaches and more for reaches.
