Time and again when I am served a cup of tea on my office desk, I make an attempt to thank the person who serves it to me as a part of her work…. Why should I or somebody like me should thank a person for doing something part of their work for which they paid for?
Someone may advocate that thanking all the time may not be required!
What am I doing when the security person wishes me in the morning ,the very first thing happens to me in any working day as I come to the office…..am I ignoring him and rush through the office?… Am I too numb and cold to wish him back? ….or am I generous to wish him back with the same gratitude and humanness?
I believe that the value system of me (us) deeply in a declining phase as I link all my reactions towards others based on the subjective judgment to a person’s material wealth, professional status and of course the educational qualification and so on…. What a strange attitude of practicing discrimination even to keep simplest values like paying respect and reciprocating with humanness and kindness…
In the office space I hardly smile at someone from another department or from different floor. Neither an attempt to talk nor an attempt to know their names even though facing them every now and then walking across the stairs.
It raises sensible questions in me … Am I keeping those simplest values am taught about? Whether my value system has aliened? Even if I am not mindful of those values? Why I haven’t seen somebody keeping those values with me? I am hopeful of getting answers soon? Or will I alien further more?
I can hear someone telling that in the global village and global economy, whether values are worth talking!
In the process of my thoughts I remind about something once my master told ,In the celebration of life the most important are those end values not the mean values! Let me hold something of those! And let me not alien further more!
