Starting to realise..

I heard a lot about office politics lately and am starting to understand what this is all about. In short, it’s about playing mind games (pardon my ignorance and innocence that I only knew it now).

I heard about this Ah Meng who knows how to say the right things to please whoever just to get its way or even to get into someone’s good books AT ALL COSTS. This Ah Meng will do it even if it means back-stabbing someone to make that person look bad and god knows what else he will do or say.

I seriously cannot understand why some people will allow themselves to change to such an extent. I can imagine them finding excuses that they need to do this in order to survive in an organization, in the business world blah blah.. Fine, if that’s what they think.. Maybe true but I'm fortunate that I'm not caught in such a situation at the moment.. But I do hope these ppl dun use the “skills” they have acquired in office on their loved ones. But when you do this so very often, one has to be very consious of it in order to not let this behaviour set in him/her. But I have seen and I think that this will somehow become 2nd nature to that person until the person either doesn’t know it or cannot control their mind from wanting to seek enjoyment from being able to manipulate someone from their actions and speech. There is probably a thin line between understanding that someone or simply wanting to manipulate that someone. It’s sad when people have to resort to such means.

By saying all that, I’m allowing myself to be susceptible to someone who needs a target. But I refused to be involved in such silly conflicts which only hurts people along the way so please leave me alone. I guess all these thoughts came about after hearing a lot of such politics from my significant other and hearing too much of it makes me detest those persons and feel so disgusted! *ewe*
