The Rationale of Irrational Stupidity....
It is, yet again a gloomy Monday. Monday seems to be the blame for everything isn't it? For the crappy mood, the boring feelings, the lack of enthusiasm and the lot.... But what is the main cause of it all? What makes Mondays so blue?
As the words of the wise Master Wu Guay says, "I don't know."
I guess it's a matter of perception. People react differently towards the same item of discussion, be it Mondays, movies, books, stuff ... people.... but to that, are we correct in doing what is done? people form opinions and it stays with them until an epiphany happens. While some people manage to realize what is perceived wrongly, most are not so fortunate. Oftentimes, people receive epiphany when something they think does not go as how it was thought to be. By then, it would be too late already, wouldn't it?
But that, to be honest, does not defend the fact that some people fight on and insisting on their decision and thoughts that they still hold on to it for the sake of (blatantly put without emotions) selfish gains. I just attended a seminar run by the company I work for on establishing a code of honour. It wasn't anything I have not learned in BB before but the seminar wasn't particularly for me. It was for the staff of the company. One of the code states and I quote, "Put the company's mission and vision first, group second, and individual third." It is so easily said and basically summarizes the whole set of codes and I believe if it was followed, it would make things flow so easily. Sadly, the human factor is always there to interfere with an already functioning system.
It is also an issue of pride, when in terms of making a stand, but why do people still make stands on what they know to be wrong? Sometimes, the pride speaks so loudly that they are even listening with a deaf ear in hopes to just shut the other person up when he or she is done. Why does irrational behaviour like this happen? When emotions interfere with system, irrational behavior and thoughts take place and when that happens, stupidity is evident in all aspects. There will never be a commendable decision or act taking place.
Questions remain unanswered as we are all different in ways we tackle a situation. However, I just wish people use their God given talent while making decisions. The ability to THINK properly in the interest of the common benefits, be it a company, group or individual.
