ctnd frm last post, nw i gonna talk abt ppl's impression of u
u see, this world nw focuses on what u have achieved, whats in ur portfolio, what u hav done throughout ur schooling yrs
well, they left out character, how you treat other ppl, how u have helped to change the world ( sound cliche but i mean it in the literal sense )
job interview : check academic qualifications, check how many hrs of cip u chalked up, wad special programmes / overseas exchange programs u have been
conduct? thrown away to a secluded corner. employers take it as a given that u r like angels juz as long u hav qualifications.
so, u see ppl in working world kana backstabbed, sabo-ed, blackmailed
all bcos they wan to succeed and have a gd life
and it's further worsened by the fact that ppl of lousy character can enter workforce, bcos employers dun check 'character' on portfolios
so nw u know better y working parents everytime so stressed, bcos they kana injured in office politics or worse, trying to think of ways to sabo ppl
after reading part 2 of zitao's post on his blog, i gt more comments
quote frm zitao : 'So ppl can't see this point, do a lot of unethical things to succeed. This chalks up bad karma. So how? Take up religion. Hope that religion is a shortcut to heaven. This ppl can go eat shit, respects to ppl who still take up religion out of pure faith. Last time ppl have religion is cuz of faith. Faith in GOD, faith in all things good. Now change liao. Superficial kindness and charity. After you 把那么多人踩在脚底下 to be some big shot, you go appear in renci charity show to donate big sums. Go temple or church or where ever, pretend to be 好人. You really think religion and all this superficial kindness can wash away all your bad deeds, erase your bad karma'
i agree on that, look at many churches these days, nvr talk abt sin and hell liao. all pretend that humans are inherently good ( which is absolutely wrong )
ppl who take up religion for the wrong reasons will be punished severely as shown in the verse from King James Bible
Romans 14:23
And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
so frm above no faith = sin
note that zitao used 'superficial', he oso know that ppl want to do 2 things when they earn big bucks, to cover up any wrongs they hav done, as well as to make themselves look gd in the media and society.
think abt ur life, to be helpful or to sabo ppl for ur own selfish gain?
