Why are we like this???

If you are wondering , if swine flu has been the reason for my disappearing act after those 2 posts on flu , let me tell you that its not the case and I am doing perfectly fine. Though my sneezes still do attract some " Bless You" s at work, the frequency of receiving the good wishes has gone down. Work volume has been increasing and for the last couple of days, I have been swamped with work. Not that I am complaining, but in fact I am glad there is work to keep me occupied and away from surfing the net or staring blankly at my monitor. So amidst this sudden lull when I have nothing to do , I am going to write this post.

Its amazing how some people watch out for their own interests and dont really care about if they are dealing with other people in a fair manner. They are either completely oblivious by this fact or they do not give a damn. I think its more of the latter. I mean looking out for yourself in this big bad world is justified and I buy that argument, but that doesnt not mean you start being insensitive and a total jerk. As Dexter says " He lives by the code", I think these people should too. Being sweet to someone when you need their help and then just shoo them away when you dont want to entertain them, borrow money and keep delaying its return after saying words like " Ill definitely do that tomorrow when Ill rush to the bank and do the transfer" or like some total arrogant SOBs who just order around as if they are the King/Queen of England and every one else is a butler at their disposal. Dont they ever look into the mirror and see the real picture or is it so that even the mirror is morphed like their own souls???

You may wonder the reason for my sudden outburst but apart from having dealt with such people, I find it hilarious to observe them as a third person. Their ideas about life, the way to lead it and get ahead are so superficial that they are only concerned about the next step. They do not really care if they can arrange for food for the whole month. They would be fine if they can manage it for lunch time. They will work towards that, not towards the big picture. But then there are some, who manage to avoid that and do get ahead in life, climbing up by stepping on someone else.

The problem is not dealing with such people, it is identifying him. And while trying to do that, you invariably land up suspecting on innocent people who are actually trying to be nice. Such has the world become! If you are one of the persons whom I am talking about, you would probably pass this article off with a few swear words, and if you are one like me, you would probably swear on the veracity of this article. I am not trying to judge or make a statement, its just an observation about people I come across ....
