Is any one of us immune to a hatchet job? How would you tackle this sort of thing should it happen to you? My immediate response to this question is: no matter how hard you’ve tried, there will always be criticism, be the constructive, or the destructive . The point is our attitude toward the inner selves.
A Chinese proverb goes like, “Tall trees cause wind.” Jealousy is an inborn entity, which makes human beings diabolic sometimes. We live in a competitive society; and everyone wants success. Yet there are some who would do whatever it takes to achieve their targets even with inhumane and immoral means to step over somebody's head.
A better world requires benign competition and great cooperation, it also demands us be selfless and willing to share resources with others. Nonetheless, how many of us can totally rid our natural weaknesses of jealousy and wicked hatchet jobs? There are still many lessons we must learn in life if we want a better tomorrow.
By the way, I read an article discussing issues in our olfactory sense. How interesting to know this less studied and emphasized sensory mechanism is actually a very essential part of our existence. A lot of memories can be triggered by the olfactory stimulation. My favorite flavor is citron, which makes people more alert and refreshed. Lavender let people feel more relaxed and restful. A vanilla smell can even stop people’s craving for more food. So, what is your favorite one?
