Stings or bites ?
A snake only bites, ( it's fangs may be poisonous)
A scorpion only stings ( its tail has a sharp & strong nail like thing, again to inject poison)
So it is enough to identify between a ΰ€snake ( an_esnake, or a snake) and a scorpion ( ΰ€scorpion), to know which extreme end is going to harm meπ. Certainly these two aren't going to shower their affection on meπ
Human beings are unpredictable ππ
Difficult to know whether they would sting, bite, or spew venomπ. And whic_end of that fellow, tail or mouth? Tongue or pen?
( I was having a ….yet another problem, unlike my colleagues. I look for the possibility of a normal human being among my bossesπ)
Discrimination was the only tool i could 'think of' to pre_empt a defense before they attack. If i am PRE-judiced, i miss a normal( known as 'good') human being in a manager( at my workplace)
I met all the three types….π… Stinging, biting and loving….
When the stings & bites seemed a needless torture ( very stupid to bear with, when the purpose (of employment)became defunct, i said " i quit".
My stupidities were solely responsible for my ignoble exitπ…
There is something called an IP_phone ( maybe "internet protocol" based phoneπ). My data entry speed irritated the officer monitoring the system at central server of head office and phoned via IP phones to find out the name of the idiot who usurped one out of every 15 transaction ID allotted by main server to all India transactions π… ( he needn't search our branch landline number sitting in kampootarr room of head office)....
At branch, the ring sounded from a "very wrong place"( server room phone was only ornamental for stings & fangs walas hereπ). Anyway, the caller had to explain his reason for calling, and i knew my defect of needless speed in a PSU πππ. I decided, " entirely my fault to be glaringly visible like a sitting duckπ… it is a sin, unpardonable one, to be highly productive, efficient, and senselessly_unselfishπ…
I met a normal human being tooππππ
He was on his punishment transfer to where i was working.
He very soon removed all_known_shackles that might possibly chain us from getting close to him. Only he can remove the locks. Manager has all the keys( even for emotional locks). He burdened us with his responsibilities, and said "you decide between yourselves these official & mandatory requirements".
I extended that burden on myself. My brains found the freedom to explore my own innovative_abilities, lying dormant since i joined the job. I stupified the controlling offices with "logic defying statistics" exceeding the business targets of that quarter ahead of time, and in a week, instead of an yearπππ…. Not easy, even for seasoned business experts.
Sting and fangs were in greater number. The ambience percolating from a corrupt regime at Central Government could give anything other than this. ( Kids….. routinely get_scared at the sight of a policeman, who was the GabbarSingh in our real life π€£πππ. Because he is invariably a slave to scam netas π)...
I just thought….
when humans look alike…..unlike animals, insects and creatures….. uncertain characteristics, unpredictable emotions, and with .....non_dependable_commonSense, etc….
how_to_use the….. available…..sense of Discrimination in us….may find 0.001% appeal π… at least π
