Extraordinary Disposition

In life, men learnt that the countenance of an individual do not usually accounts faithfully to his true feelings. The bestiality of man is well construed as not only for the thirst for blood, but through the competition for survival, brutality and murderous dispositions are just some of the many faces a man can transfigure into. These faces, or countenances, are everything a man is designed to conceive: Domination.

While another man learnt in hardship the sweetness of success and another man learnt in material prosperity the bitter of enslavement and fallacy; most man counteracts both elements of life by means of balance between betrayal and excellent sportsmanship. Failure brings disappointment, but in desperation, failures are success in the false countenance that represents success in another dimension; a leader who failed to convince his men to fight, will nonetheless still fight for his reputations. In an obscure viewpoint, this desperation for control is essentially the key to self-esteem. If the leader continues to fight, he is a failed leader, but a brave man nevertheless. If he decided to retreat, he is then a wise man, but cowardice will soon engulf his reputations, and he had failed overall.

So disposition is what defines our reputation, our standing, and our rights to raise our voices. If a man presents to you the disposition of a drunkard, and if he presents to you the behaviours of an idiot, he is all but a drunkard or an idiot. In the same obscure viewpoint, he shown you the disposition that you expected of an idiotic drunkard. Yet beneath the facade, he had his identity hidden from you. Such lies made these liars rather successful individuals. While they had failed utterly in life, they succeeded in deceiving you, and in these skirmishes, you had definitely lost.

Betrayal is the rudimentary basis for conjuring false disposition. For one, the man had every intention to lie, and coerce you into believing their false desperations. The truth beneath their false dispositions is the fact that explains their insecurity and true desperation for domination. Sportsmanship is the catalytic element that led you to believing their false disposition, because their sportsmanship and willingness to play by the rules, had enticed you into surrendering your trust to them. In a sense, prior to imposing the false disposition, they will first earn to gain your trust, before they breached that trust in a blink, and forgone all thoughts of respecting your rights as a confidant, friend, colleague, or family.

Surely they had second thoughts, but usually, of lesser importance than their immediate agenda: To deceive. They often question themselves the credibility of their feat, but often too console themselves that their deception is flawless. This is where their deception fails. This is also where their agenda becomes clear, but is also where a friendship, companionship, and trust, began to falter. Perhaps it was the shame of revealing the truth beneath their dispositions that prevented them from spilling, or the fear of rejection, that they kept tight control over the truth, and replace them with lies to ensure your information-hungry curiosity is fed.

But this disposition may also be their constructed fantasy of a better life. The world that they yearned to live in, contradicts the reality, so far that you felt utterly deceived. And this feeling of deception will then led you to the realisation that you shall not tolerate any deception, any further. This non-toleration kills more people, than any plagues that sweep the Earth, any war that engulfs the human race. It is also this phenomenon that beautiful lies of politicians began to suffer carnage, which we saw in Ukraine and Georgia, where revolutions against their past functionaries, began to show that they are not much better. The hypocrisy that usually signifies their incompetence is what pierces through their mirage of lies, that breaks them, and reveal the actuality to us.

This hypocrisy is what undermines their disposition. In history, we learnt of the hypocrisy of man. While the Americans find it most improper that the Soviet Union was aiding the ailing communist government in Afghanistan to fight insurgency, they made it most proper for them to enter the war against Iraq and Afghanistan, almost 20 years later, without a mandate from the United Nations. The masculine facade is all they had to sustain the disposition, which is bound to falter, given that they had lost all credibility in their accusations of unfriendly operations in both sovereign states.

So the next time you speak to person with questionable intention, seek to understand that particular disposition. It may be just another extraordinary disposition, that you will regret not knowing, much later.
