The Phenomenon Of Titles And Designations; And It's Evident Influence (A Life Ramble)

I live in country where people are suckers for titles and designations either in religion, educational assessment, politics or even economic and cultural conferment. This is because ordinary everyone wants to tell their success story immediately their names are being mentioned. Someone who attains a "professor" doesn't want to to be referred to as Mr anymore and this often makes me wonder why people choose duplicity and pride over simplicity and anonymousness. However titles attracts respect it means that you can synonymous or related to a particular sector and this segmentation is a whole big reason why people are differentiated separately.

In my own situation, I've never found it easy to coin a title for myself this is because I'm more of an all round guy and the things is that I love anonymity, I don't like being loud in my attitude or character or even personality and that's why it's difficult to place a certain kind of entity on what I really am. I believe the reason why partiality exists is because people don't embrace the essence of anonymity. In life I believe we have echelons of class and divisions and groups simply because people don't understand that humanity to one another is essential before the origination of diversity.

For example I've seen a lot of people claiming to be CEOs and one marveling thing is that these people aren't even entrepreneurs or own a business where they're heading a group of people. So why do they now chose to go by the the titles of CEOs? This is because titles endear people to you, people want to be known with men and women of timber and calibre and this Makes the essence of titles to be more of a compulsion and necessity. To me tiltes however takes away the aspect of generality. I believe everyone should have an equal sense of attachment to people based on selfless terms and not goal-driven agendas.

As for me, I know I'm involved in a lot of thing and I don't have a specified duty or offical job that inadvertently transforms to a title but whenever people see me making contents either video or written, they use to ask who are you? And because really I don't have a title to myself they hardly want me to continue making my contents. In truth it seems like the freedom to do and undo depends on your societal conferment. The fact is many people like me prefer to just stay in the shadows and just live a simple life and sometimes the need for titles doesn't allow this.

The future I want, is that particular future where I can live without boundaries, I believe sometimes self acclaimed or conferred titles often puts a lot of pressure on a person and it Makes one chase a certain standard of perfection which is expected of them but ironically can't be found with people who don't even have these titles. Like I said earlier, in the country I live, titles can make you dine with people who are influential and it can move grounds but then titles can be aggrandised and sometimes it makes people feel like who they shouldn't really be. In other words people sometimes would rather take actions based on their titles rather their humanity in their first place.
