In the Mist of Trees

Lately, there seems to be too many beckering going round the office. I'm not the type to be influenced by someone's story. I made my own judgement on every issue. But, I have to be a listener. All the stories I heard, different versions, respecting the informer's privacy, trying to understand their feelings and frustration. It's a jungle in my head. Everyone's stories has a point. The stories are information. Information that will has some input in my work here. Input that alerts me to be on guard. Guarding myself from being naive at my surroundings. Not to be naive that I will end up frustrating, loosing my interest and respect but too late to help myself. Learning from past experiences, I must be selfish and help myself. My needs, family, health, career comes first. Above all things. I'm only an employee of a company.
