The Tall Poppy Syndrome

Have you ever heard of this Thai expression?

"Do good... but don't stand out. It's a threat."

This society is not afraid of bad people.

It's afraid of "good people who look better than others."

Bad people walk floating.

The middle man is comfortable.

But people who try to "actually get better" - often get focused before anyone else.

This is... The Tall Poppy Syndrome.

Which poppy is too tall, friend?

Not to be appreciated.

But will be "cut equally short."

You good at work?

Someone will say "face."

Are you more diligent?

I'll be accused of "making pictures."

You succeeded?

There will be a whisper, "There must be something."

A society that should praise the effort.

Instead of "pulling others down equally."

Because it's easier than improving yourself as much as a good person.

Finally, many people choose "inconspicuous good."

Good enough (which is how much?)

Success without anyone being irritated

Not because I don't want to grow up

But because "I don't want to be hunted."

It's so controversial.

That society teaches people to be good, good people

But when there are good people, really good people...

There was no place for him to stand.

Remember well -

This world is not dangerous because of bad people alone.

But it's dangerous because of "the unacceptable crowd with the higher ones."

Jealous, jealous, backstabbing, undermining.

Good people, good people above them.

If you're gonna be a poppy,

You have to choose -

Will be "short and safe."

Or "high and risk cutting."

Because in this game...

Goodness is never enough.

If more prominent, who will bring harm to them?

Prepare your body and heart as well.

Important when the best is the best.

Don't look back...Waste of time 🖤

Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวเกี่ยวกับ The Tall Poppy Syndrome หรือปรากฏการณ์ดอกป๊อปปี้สูงที่ถูกตัดให้เตี้ยเท่ากับคนอื่น เราได้พบว่าความรู้สึกนี้ไม่ใช่แค่เรื่องทางสังคมอย่างเดียว แต่มีผลกระทบต่อจิตใจและการเติบโตของแต่ละบุคคลด้วย ในสังคมไทย หลายครั้งที่คนที่ความสามารถหรือประสบความสำเร็จโดดเด่น มักถูกตั้งคำถาม ถูกเพ่งเล็ง หรือแม้กระทั่งถูกวิจารณ์อย่างไม่เป็นธรรม ตัวอย่างเช่น เมื่อเราแสดงออกถึงความเก่ง หรือพยายามขยับขยายในหน้าที่การงาน บ่อยครั้งจะมีคนคิดว่าเรา "เอาหน้า" หรือ "สร้างภาพ" ซึ่งทำให้เรารู้สึกถูกจำกัด ไม่กล้าประกาศความสำเร็จของตัวเองเหมือนกับการต้องระวังไม่ให้โดดเด่นเกินไป แท้จริงแล้ว The Tall Poppy Syndrome แสดงให้เห็นว่าแทนที่สังคมจะสนับสนุนและยกย่องความสามารถ จะเลือกวิธีการดึงคนที่โดดเด่นให้เตี้ยเท่ากัน ด้วยความอิจฉา ความกลัวในการถูกลบลู่ หรือความอคติที่มีต่อคนที่ประสบความสำเร็จ สิ่งนี้ส่งผลให้หลายคนเลือกที่จะทำตัวดีแบบพอประมาณเพื่อความสงบ หรือเติบโตแบบไม่ฉุดให้ใครหมั่นไส้ สำหรับผู้ที่อยากประสบความสำเร็จในสังคมแบบนี้ ต้องเตรียมใจและใจแข็ง รับมือทั้งความอิจฉาและความไม่เข้าใจจากผู้อื่น จำเป็นต้องเชื่อมั่นในตัวเองและไม่เสียเวลาไปกับการมองย้อนกลับไปหาเสียงวิจารณ์ด้านลบ นอกจากนี้ การเปลี่ยนแปลงทัศนคติของสังคมก็เป็นสิ่งจำเป็น เพื่อให้คนดีและคนเก่งได้รับโอกาสและการสนับสนุนอย่างแท้จริง ไม่ใช่ถูกตัดทอนหรือบั่นทอนเพียงเพราะพวกเขาโดดเด่นกว่าใคร สุดท้ายแล้ว หากคุณเลือกที่จะ "เป็นดอกป๊อปปี้" ที่สูงเด่นในสังคมแห่งนี้ ควรยอมรับกับความเสี่ยงแต่ก็ไม่หยุดที่จะก้าวไปข้างหน้าเพื่อตัวเองและสิ่งที่เชื่อมั่น เพราะความดีและความสามารถที่แท้จริงไม่ควรถูกตัดทอนเพราะความกลัวหรืออิจฉาของผู้อื่น
