Psyche Talks

— Odd | To Whom It May Concern

The assessors were situated above the podium, each holding a piece of paper outlining the specifications. The 200 hopefuls beneath them donned the exact appearances and trappings that the speakers indicated the selectors were looking for.

Trying to stand firmly, they exuded credibility in their expressions, making them all appear to be mirrors of each other. The assessors began by determining which was which, despite the fact that nearly nobody could draw the distinction. They continued to discard individuals at irregular intervals, paying little or no attention to who they were and allowing the process to unfold as if by chance.

The assessors did not accept anyone, and they all left with the realization that no one could be qualified. It was absurd that they couldn't decide at least one to qualify, when all they desired was the very person they'd already fired. And there, the idea might come in.

Abandon the stand where you're being dealt as though you're insignificant. If they look down on you, return the gaze with optimism and dignity. You shouldn't go because they didn't want you; you should go because you're too good for them. Be the distinction by breaking their flawed paradigm. Be that person who'd stick out within the mass.
