All Ears

A great man (or was it a boy) once told a lesser man (this was definately a man) and lady: 
"I always want to be a team player and never a team leader, because its so lonely as a leader...."


Today when I felt soo lonely..and...I remembered his words
And I wondered if this was a consequesnce of my journey through life....
but I looked around..." I was no leader", "I was worshiped by none", "neither was I adored by another"
I looked at my life passed with a magnifying glass and looked for that moment which made me guilty of 'treason' against my team... (atleast if nothing it might kill the feeling of loneliness)

..I Searched and searched then searched some more....but I found none..

I was almost ready to chuck the thought out, but my mind which had reveled in the greatness of the great man was not ready to discount even an ounce of breath out of his mouth...

So I thought again...and found the fault in the argument....
(it was so simple that the investment banker in me, cried in despair)
Leader = Lonely does not imply that Lonely = leader....
The great man said those words but never said those words implied transitivity

I had never been a leader but had been one of those scum of the earth who had been rejected to isolation

But I still learned something from my loneliness ......
 i.e. U BETTER NOT HEAR WHAT IS NOT SAID TO U


Afterthought:  Somebody said this to me long ago but alas I never heard it
