A job is like a boyfriend- all covered with securities and insecurities. You invest all your efforts and emotions hoping in the future that it will be reciprocated. The very reason why I likened this relationship to a job is that I do not believe romantic relationships can survive only through selflessness. Why do we have the courage to put most of our everything? Why do we fear to do so?
If indeed there is a formula then we will not be hounded by pangs of insecurity.
During a late lunch with some of my closest friends last Saturday, we talked a lot about our current jobs. Why are we satisfied and why we think of moving on to better jobs. It makes me think most of the time whether the blame is personal or institutional. Personal maybe because we are never contented with the pay, we are not contented with the job or we just want to be in a job where there is lesser pressure. Institutional maybe because of the stability, the general environment, or the career path it offers to its employees. We have a mix of these reasons that is why I can not pin point the reason why.
Are you happy with your job? Are you happy with your boyfriend?
No you are not so you start making suspicions. Soon these suspicions will not be suspicions to you but are true. Congratulations to you for convincing yourself that your suspicions are true even with the flimsiest indirect evidence. Same thing with your job, small things that are negligible are turned into nightmares and reasons why you can not go on with your job.
Yes you are so give more of what you have already given until you are no longer contented with what you get in return. Most people are very selfish beings.
Security is not the absence of insecurity but the the absence of the capacity to be human.
Oh my that is just me typing random thoughts non-stop for 8 minutes.
