Shall the Freak inherit the earth?

Having twisted around the age-old quote on the meek in an outburst of familiar cynicism and considerable alarm, I went a little further down the road… my question to the world is - will this dreaded thing happen? Will the freak inherit the earth?

Throughout my short but rather eventful work life, I’ve met these freaks…literally every step of the way. I looked in various dictionaries, but the definition of the word, as I felt it, eluded me, until I hit upon exactly what I was looking for:

Freak (n): a person or animal on exhibition as an example of a strange deviation from nature; monster.

Monster - Bang on!

It’s these monsters I’m talking about. You see them everywhere – observe the loud, rowdy guy on the road, indiscriminately molesting, harassing, shouting, spitting. Chances are that it’s a deep-rooted inferiority complex, manifesting itself in over aggressive attention-seeking behaviour. Actually, one doesn’t need to go so far as the road – these freaks are commonly found lurking in office cabins and conference rooms as well – these locations are closer home to our young professional generation, and therefore the connection should be clearer. They might not spit, molest or harass, but rest assured, the behaviour is over aggressive and attention seeking, probably stemming from a similar inferiority complex as the chappie on the road.

I see these freaks exerting great influence over everyone they come in contact with – colleagues, vendors, agencies, subordinates, superiors, peons, etc. The part that really bakes my noodle (sorry, Oracle), is that no matter how loud, how obnoxious, how incompetent these freaks are, they always seem to succeed! They ARE taking over the world, whether we, the self-proclaimed “normal” people like it or not (mostly not). Like a virus, they’re prolific in multiplication, and I see more and more freaks all around me – the growth of the genre is alarming!

Will the “normal” people of today be able to withstand this onslaught? We know that normalcy is relative, like everything else in the universe – will the freaks of today be the "normals" of tomorrow? Will anyone half-decent be considered a freak?
