If you’ve seen (or read) the Secret Life of Walter Mitty, you might find it a strange and unbelievable story. It’s about one man’s heady, exciting fantasies, and its stark contrast to his simple outer-world life.

Truth is, such stories are everyday, common-place stories. It’s about time the rest of the world learned about the existence of a group of people who have been largely ignored and left out. People who have internal worlds and thoughts that are richer, more heart-rending, more thrilling than any movie ever conceived. People who are more sensitive, intuitive, intelligent and empathetic than we know. People who share their ideas and stories on Quora.

The final scene of Walter Mitty was perfect, and the movie finished with a stirring end. For just this once, it is the quiet, intriguing, hardworking but unrewarded person, who is recognized and celebrated.

The biggest flaw in societies and organizations is that whoever has the loudest voice has the most followers, and whoever has the most followers has the most power. Unfortunately, the best speakers don’t always have the best ideas or intentions. Therefore, the side-effects of this reward system, is that everyday life is laced with meaningless facades, and plagued by unfairness and oppression. And the consequence of the suppression of true meritocracy is the world we are living in, how it is less ideal than what it should have been.
