Well what can i tell. I have read his comments. This makes me to rethink the architecture of My philosophy.
As 02cs018 quoted(and i qoute from what he wrote)- “1. “It has saved me from a lot of problems and has strengthened my relationships with my friends.”I would like to know who are your friends. And I would also like to know the number of people that you trust.“
Things don’t look very bright for me if i check the radius of my COF. Its true that i have not made very many friends. But what i would like to add to this is that because i know the answers to _ “when to trust?” and “whom to trust?” I don’t bragg here but the point ( and he knows it) is that i have been less dissapointed with friends than him.
“2. ” Keep your trust level to zero whenever you meet someone.” How can you transact business with someone whom you don’t trust? You can’t ait for ever to build trust levels before you start a relationship.“
A very good point brought out my 02cs018. And he’s the boss at this issue because i’ve not seen the corporate world. But from what i think about the corporate world trust does not drive business however important this might be made during seminars. Its Money that drives. Its Competition that drives it. From the grassroot level right to the bosses.
Who would work with you if you don’t have the money to pay. Never trust strangers. Haven’t you heard of it. Right now i would like to just bring out how i feel about corporate workings. I humbly accept my inexperience in the matter. What i don’t accept as wrong is the quotation quoted by 02cs018. When you meet some one you don’t know don’t go right ahead and tell him about the firing you got from the boss. I don’t think that i’m wrong at that.
“3. “As you might not be capable of such explicit dialogue i suggest that you rate his answers in terms of what you would answer if asked such a question.”Your answer to the question need not be the right answer. Evaluation should be relative to absolutes not your perspective.“
The statement was taken out of context by my friend. Absolutes are drawn from your perceptoin of right and wrong. You can’t expect a mafia boss to trust the police( unless they were bribed by them). Their perception of right and wrong are different. what i say is that absolutes are based on perspectives.
“4. “people come up to expectations”I thought that the way to a blissful life is to have zero expectations.“
It is. Life would be so misrable if you expect too much from it(something from it) and it dosen’t turn up. At least, thats what i think. Again my statement was taken out of context. May be it was the mincing of words. Read the paragraph again. What i meant is that when you begin to test someone on what you think is right and wrong, and they fall within the ranges of what you think is right or wrong its ok to go ahead with your friendship.
I feel that i have not offended my good friend 02cs018 in the comments that i wrote. We have shared a lot of good and bad times together. I don’t think you should doubt that i have faltered in my principles.
