Disclaimer: I found this in my draft folder. Probably drafter after a stressful work day in one of my former jobs. I always believed in kindness especially when things don’t go your way. I value people who choose this whether consciously or subconsciously. Reading this post, I can still remember how I felt and how I had to comfort a teammate. Last time I heard that person has not changed at all. Oh well, may the odds still be in his favor
Today is a Friday. Towards the end of today I witnessed again how a stressful situation can turn people into curt, judgmental beings. It takes grace and conscious effort to choose kindness because I think it’s very easy to give in to one’s “id”. I have had my deal of a**holes and they always turn up amidst challenging scenarios. I now know better though and I have warned my teammates about this person’s behavior, one of whom was at the receiving end of this person’s unfounded berating rant.
As if I don’t have enough stress with work, I now have to deal with a toxic and duplicitous person.
But dear Lord, always grant me the strength to choose kindness. As in, I will be kind enough to report him to my boss and our HR. Heh.
