baba...looks like its my day of ranting....i am unhappy and angry because i am fighting my value system...i am fighting the values that i grew up with...i am trying to adjust accomodate something that i dont agree to in principle. All i life, i was told to be honest, truthful, stand for what is right, give quality to whatever i do, and excel in my chosen field...and now i am told to ignore things that are wrong...because i am not directly affected...i should not try to change the system because that is treated as rocking the boat or stirring a hornet's nest. I should keep mum and look the other way around when ever i see something going wrong....because thats what pleases the folks in senior positions. And to top it all...this was my dream job...i had always wanted to be here ....what a let down baba!! I get no professional statisfaction....And u know at personal front, i am dealing with a lot of things...sometime i wondered that maybe i am being lazy and lethargic and thats why i sont put in my best at work...but now i know...i dont do it because i dont see a benefit in doing it...i have to fight the system...and since i am not inclined to pick any battles at this time, i am lying low. Oh but what a misery! I dont even want my boss's job ...which means i dont aspire for growth here. Could it get any worse?? Baba...and the worst part is that i am not yet over the guilt trip that every working mother goes through...and this happened on top of it....i feel so angry....
What is the point when u ask your child to study well...get a good education...work hard...earn a great degree....and then u find yourself in a situation like this. Most unfortunate! All that effort, sweat and tears...is all that a waste? Baba..i have slogged....u know it...my parents gave their everything and more to see me successful. And with your blessings i am successful. But is that all that matters? Am i happy? I know everything comes at a price. And we chose our destiny by the choices we make. I dont know what i want to choose next? I am scared to explore...and terribly unhappy with my current choice...I look for advice...i look for any signs...but i know...the answer lies within me....just that i havent found what i am looking for. I feel scared of the change and i dont feel like giving up all this because of the investment of effort and sweat i and my parents have put. So disappointed....
