I have come to the conclusion that the world of marks is very much like the world of addiction. It’s attractive and destructive at the same time. It’s hard to let go of. It’s overpowering.
You might think drugs and alcohol are the two most lethal addictions that the world has to offer to the adolescent population. Well, think again. ‘Marks’ is an addiction that has been a part of our civilization and system all along, albeit completely overlooked as a potential threat. In fact, ‘marks’ is a socially accepted addiction that thrives on encouragement from the society. Students are encouraged to indulge deeper and deeper into this bottomless black sea of marks, and by the time one realizes how deep they’ve gotten, it’d already be too late.
Getting ‘good’ marks such as 95% and above is like an elongated high. It’s like floating on the 9th cloud and in the 7th heaven for a while. It makes you feel as if you’re the most important person on the face of earth. But once this elongated high comes to an end, the blow you face is as hardcore as castration.
It’s an ugly comparison; but quite real. I feel there should be a help group for people who’re addicted to marks called the ‘Markoholics Anonymous’. It will help them realize the ramifications of this serpentine disease, and slowly detach them from the addiction. It is extremely important to make the society markoholism free, it is slowly eating it up from inside and making it hollow, and we don’t even realize it.
Someone who has been an addict for as long as 2 or maybe 3 years, finds it extremely difficult to face withdrawal when they do hit him/her in the face. For example, if an A student gets below 80, he feels devastated, desolated and defeated. The 3 D’s of markoholism destruction. He cribs, twitches, cries, weeps, experiences sleepless nights and days devoid of emotion, and yet the disease continues to stick to him like a parasite.
It saddens me to know that this is a socially acceptable, actually not just acceptable, socially solicited disease. The deeper a student slips into this hellhole, the more is the appreciation.
Finally, the ultimate conclusion is that markoholism shuts everything else out from one’s life, including life. You forget everything and plunge into this blind, dark, ceaseless race of the rats. And from there, it just gets worse.
It is highly advised to everyone who is reading this piece of knowledge, to please try and keep away from this disease. It’s ugly. At the end of it all, you will be left mentally raped and sorely bruised.
Save yourself from being fucked.
its not a rare disease its common among rural masses (to be precise- kids n adolecent population) nobody is ready to accept but it is a highly infetious disease and the only cure for this paricular type of disease is mentioned above i.e. 'markoholics anonymous' society ... immediate action should be taken to cure such type of disease otherwise it may harm your body, mind and soul!...anyways nice article,great awareness,a must read!
