The danger of working in competitve environment
Perhaps i wasn't a person who born to love competing aggressively although from young till now i do felt i live in a life that is always forever being compare by. Perhaps that is how my nature of competing in anything unconsciously keep on growing and though i do not really like to live a life of comparing and competing for a lifetime, i was already in it as long as i can remember .
Yet the most dangerous competitive enviornment that can really be harmful is the one i consider as office politics. There will always be people disagree and undermine what i said here. Perhaps many more will choose to disbelief my words. after all my own personal attitude and habits has a lot of big loophole and mistakes that whoever see me will certainly it is my own fault rather than a competitive environment known as office politics.
Why i would said it as dangerous is because that is what it can really develop into. if you are a person who love to see your child grow up happily and smiling. you will have to know that office politics are complete opposite of what you hope to see your child will be. There maybe some who are exceptional in term of their life that they will not encounter such circumstances, or people who actually had the attitude who can preserve on it even if the cloud fall on them or people who are so wise that they can actually avoid the pit hole or understanding enough that they can just accept whatever gonna comes. But not for me.
like any other situation, office politics can revolve around the issue of survival , power, greed , status , wealth , dreams and angers. And because of that it can be very dangerous to the point it can threaten your own life and health . In a simple term, if the person see that the only way for this person to survive is to remove his / her competitor from the chance of getting promoted and the only way to undermine this person is by having his family member get into serious accident. They will most likely do it. And sometimes this person may not intend of killing his competitor family but error can happen . and thus the mistake once happen cannot be reverse back again.
On other subtle issue, office politics may happen by intentionally doing emotional attack such as constant throwing pressure into your life or even threaten you. On other times they may even attempt of hypothesis you by indirectly suggesting some ideas a little bit by little bit (in the hope that they can make you self remove yourself after a while) or you can found yourself in the story where you become a chess pawn where you deliver a message from an evil person to your friend and you causes your friend death with the wrong info or you may be even frame for something you never did at all. And if you happen to be super unlucky, they may even attempt to black magic you to remove you (not aware that they become a murderer the moment you are death)
In the story of competitveness such as this, the winner takes all and the loser lose their life. You are consider to be very lucky if you are still alive as some may die not knowing what hits them or the actual truth. Although both winner and losers end up losing their happy emotion . Losers may left angrily for many years ahead(and possibly died of heart attack) but winner may not be able to smile and laugh like how he/she once had . Both may even end up more twisted in negative emotions than they ever had before.
On a positive side , not everyone are like that . But if you do meet one , know that these people are not common to be found. Out of few dozens victims that had been sabotag, only 1 or 2 who by heart genuinely do not mind and can accept their enemy for that (and can still work together). I for one are not these type of special people (as i have to worry for the rest of my life whether they are now plotting on someone else or on me not to mention that to be able to truly forgive is an act of divine itself and difficult to walk such road). The other one type of person are people who has the soul of sportmanship (you may find 1 out of 10) .
In the end it really depend on who you are and who your opponent are. How you perceive the situation and so on. Not everyone will meet this kind of life (perhaps one of the reasons why many choose to remain small as they had other more valueables things in their life which they are not willing to risk for such as a lifetime peace of mind or too busy to bother about it) . If you really did live a life of peace in working environment undisturb by any circumstances at all, you are actually more wiser than me as it seem i do not have the wisdom enough to live a life like that yet.
Some company may not like the fact i blog out as they fear that i may reveal something about them . funnily i found this to be quite useful too as it mean i would have save myself from another office politic working environment. As i don't want to risk coming out crazy or die of heart attack again. but life at time can be very unpredictable as who knows if i was once again got thrown into another competitve working environment again so i just cross my fingers in case this happen agains. Another reason is only by blogging out , there are things seem to stop itself after that (so i am presuming that this maybe the only way how i can really end something at times though it may not be a wise action)
If you ever get into a competitive environment make sure you are prepare mentally , physically and emotionally. There's a lot of twist of dangers which you never thought before may suddenly turn dangerous.
As the saying goes, a thief only sees the wallet not the person. Therefore in the turmoil time and unstable economy , the more dangerous a person life can be.
Therefore listening to heart sutra mantra daily (or recite) can help ease your suffering by releasing your attachment to your things. this in turn , you will have peace of mind no matter what circumstances you are in.
