We had to learn, how to bend without the world caving in.
Bureaucratic red-tapes, superiors/colleagues choosing to cover their asses aside, wayangstunts and all, sometimes we just have to roll with it. No, not acquiesce, but an understanding and acceptance that human aren't perfect and we're all living in a system run by humans. Yet while we accept, we don't give up the principles and values we hold so close to us. They are like an anchor in the mad world. A form of consistency for some shreds of sanity and hope.
Some choose to react strongly against it, at times, going the extreme of judging (authority, colleagues, even friends or family) harshly which ultimately got them all jaded and cynical. And who gets to benefit in the end? No one.
Because sometimes judging others and mulling over others' faults distracts you from the race you're running. Not to mention, sometimes, it stumbles others in their race too!
They do that, and while you may feel indignant or angry, perhaps it might be good at times to just pause and try to understand their actions from their positions. We are all just trying to function in an imperfect world. Don't give up on the potential of the goodness in people, give them a second chance. Don't choose to behave the same way you abhor years ago simply because you realized now it's easier that way. Don't let our pride get in the way.
Focus on giving our best in our work, continue to hold true to your beliefs and values, enjoy your life the way it is anyway, don't let all the nasty stuffs get you down.
Run the race, straight to the goal you've headed out for. Sometimes we fail, terribly, but don't give up. Don't let yourself say: "Oh heck, since I'm down already, there's no point anymore." And don't put others down or fault them relentlessly. Complain if you need to, but get back to it and continue to believe. Lastly, be stupid if you need to. :P
