The Guru Ivory Tower - What a Laugh

This rant is the direct result of a thread started by Ron Douglas over at the Warrior Forum. He essentially asked if it got to a point where you became too successful to post at the forum anymore. Well, to make a long story short, ultimately, what it came down to is that a lot of the gurus stopped posting there because they simply got sick and tired of all the guru bashing. And who can blame them? Hell, I'm no guru and I've had my share of brutal attacks. I can only imagine what these guys have to deal with.

But here's the best part. It was brought up about the gurus sitting in their ivory towers basically just shooting the bull and not doing anything productive while us little guys are out there getting some real work done. Um, hello? How do you think these guys got to where they are? And do you REALLY think that they've stopped, unless of course they just decided to retire? Where do people come up with these crazy ideas?

What really gets me though is all the bashing in the first place. The irony of it all is this. Just about every person who bashes a guru wants to, in some way, be where they are. I mean let's face it. We're in this business to make money and hopefully become as successful as we can. Does that at all sound familiar? Aren't we essentially bashing the people who have managed to do what we wish to God we could do?

The hypocrisy of it all is beyond ironic. It's almost laughable. But no doubt, it will continue to go on. Why? It's very simple. It's human nature. We love seeing the people at the top fall. That's just the way it is. Look at all the fallen heroes we've had in our history. Look at people like Mike Tyson, Barry Bonds, Tiger Woods, and on and on. We love it when these people screw up and get taken down a few pegs...all while we wish we could have their fame and fortune.

Do yourself a favor. The next time you want to do some guru bashing, take a look in the mirror and see if it's not just plain old jealousy and nothing else.

Ivory towers indeed. What a laugh.
