Of late, I have been interacting with a significant number of people who seem to have the common rant of situations or people being unfair to them. Once or twice is fine, but the distrubing thing that I notice is that this is more to do with mindset than with state of mind. I am actually pushed to a point when I start pondering what would these people do if theirs problems are already addressed.
And there is a passive disorder associated with this. The gossip mongers have a field day and the speed at which the issue is discussed from being a first person account an nth person account is exponential. The key- how many people know about it barring the person who has the reasonable powers to offer a solution.
Why do some people think that no problem is solvable? Why do they feel that raising the issue to an appropriate authority or escalate when resquired is a redundant idea. Why can't the system be given a chance? Some feel cool when they are in the " I am vicitimized zone". They make martyrs make out of themseleves when they are actually making an ass out of themselves. Presuming the result of a conversation that has not even been dared to be initiated is down right stupid.
At the risk of sounding pompous, I can say that it gives me a real high when I get solutions by knocking the appropriate door in the system. If I feel that a problem is beyond redumption, then maybe I am the problem and exit the place or the situation. Sounding like an escapist? May be.
Does this mean I hate gossips.. you must be kidding :)
