Food for Thought

In a perfect environment there would not be any discrimination, nepotism, or down right rude people. But in the real world its sad to say that this still exists!

I see and hear how certain people (and you know who you are) will make rude comments and put specific individuals down, due to their race, heritage, gender and so on. I see how, when family members work with one or for another they get preferential treatment, more perks and a lot more freedom to do what they wish.

Now with the discrimination, as we all are aware it is against the law in the work place, however I doubt anyone has ever had a fine for speaking it with other coworkers or employees. When a person puts another down for such reasons, I truly believe that they are lacking something in their own selves that makes them feel inadequate for some reason, which in turn makes them put the focus on someone else.

Equality not only in work but out in the world is very important, but again it is very sad that there are some who are narrow minded and rude. These are the same individuals who will be the first to complain when they are mistreated, though.

There are a lot of people who go to work everyday, do their jobs, while specific other individuals play games, talk on the phone, text or just not show up. But yet if the “good” employee does one thing incorrect or out of protocol they are not only told about it but made to feel downright bad!

In all of my “spouting off” about positive thinking and focusing on what is right, I get people asking me how one can stay positive and focused in an environment with such negativity, and I go back to my honest feelings, that if each person works on themselves and draws only good from every situation they will not be effected by the “ignorance” of others.

People I do believe sometimes don’t even realize they are doing negative things, they don’t realize that speaking or acting or treating others in such a ill mannered way is harmful. It is not only harmful to those around them, or those they speak of but harmful to themselves.

In creating a positive, successful surrounding one must realize it starts with one's self. Don't expect others to make a difference in your world if you're not going to take the initiative. Don’t expect people to treat you right unless you treat them right and above all don’t let those who are being this way affect you in your path of fair-ism, in your path to assisting the universe to evolve into a much better place to live. Teach by example, be the best you!
