Being Cool Syndrome...

I have never understood this word. I mean the application of this word - Cool is a word used as an adjective describe someone. How can a state of temperature be described as an attribute to a man? I guess all humans are ‘warm’ blooded and no-one still is referred to like – ‘heya, you are warm’. It’s some kind of affinity that the human race has with the poles, that makes them qualify temperature as an adjective for a human.
Facing reality – I have myself tried to be cool many a times even when I couldn’t have been one, probably to win accolades even from ‘an almost stranger’ for various reasons which solely depends on man/woman on the other side. It boils down to some complex in some of the few grey cells up there.
Well, fortunately, it’s not only me. There are many more with the ‘being cool’ syndrome of all ages. Yeah – you know it – I get a chance of looking at others and pacifying myself. They range from Kids who refuse to watch regional television shows, to teenagers lying their guts out to make that ‘cool’ impression to parents talking to their kids only in English and grandpa’s droning about their competencies with the internet.
But why do we do that? I guess it’s primarily because we want to catch up. Catch up with age, people, technology and many more and be this global entity who actually doesn’t have an identity of himself/ herself. And the ‘catching up’ phase is never ending as we never find ourself in the quest of ‘being cool’. Whatever and however it evolves, it just takes away the’ you’ in you. I sometimes feel this when I am trying to be cool and doing something to be cool – ‘Hey, you are enacting and being a different person which you are not’. Fortunately, I am working on it.
And there are many exceptions to this syndrome. The ones who are contended, the ones who care a damn about others and live in their own selfish world, the ones who are well versed and well revered – they never act ‘cool’. And the last set of people who are really ‘cool’.
