An anime that deals with people who are pretending to be someone they were not. It was not just the female lead but also the male lead. They were pretending to be somebody that they made up.
That's the case of people nowadays.
I have this habit tracker installed just because I it was cute and I would like to try it out for a week and see if something in me would really improve. Part of habit forming in the app was to select a ritual and add habits to that ritual. While browsing, my eyes got caught in a habit that says "Do not only see, but observe". Of course, I was in an inner debate. Ikno what these two words mean, and just the same, it would seem like you are being nosy on other people's business even if you did not even mean it. Since I was doing a habit tracker, I did that habit. Just out of curiosity, I guess. Or I was just defeated of my inner self being nosy.
Well, I saw and did observe. I am the type to have a routine of my daily living. Home, Office, Home. The same cycle except on weekends where I would give sometime for myself to unwind. I am also fond of doing overtimes in the office that I can really observe the people around me.
It was an eye opening habit. Really, I'm not kidding. Before, I would just look at a person who happens to pass by desk pr would suddenly pop out from my peripheral vision. What I did today was a total 360 of the usual. I chose to observe one person for the whole entire day. And what I found out about the person is quite astonishing.
I work in a medium scale company and almost everybody knows everybody. This particulat colleague seems to be friends with almost everyone but when you look at it closely, she tends to get close to the people who she thinks she can benefit from-not in a material knid of way. In another way which could lead to abuse. HELPING. A big word. A word that would sometimes define a person.
In the country that I am in, if you do not know how to help, then you will be branded by those hypocrites as inhumane, selfish, amd many other vile things. Being helpful is like your ticket to eternal salvation. But so much for that, let's continue...
After observing my colleague for a short span of time, I realised that she is onoy choosing the people that she speaks to. The people she talked behehind their backs are in a good relationship with her.
Some would say that it was just being professional. I do not think so. Being professional is different from being plastic.
The only lesson that I learned from this is that, habit forming is still a continuous process no matter how old you are. And an addition would be to choose your friends wisely.
