Protocol For Unfriendly Co-Workers

Do not discuss anything personal with your co-workers, especially about your income, home life and personal beliefs. It is okay to discuss general things, such as current events. You will see that when disputes arise your co-workers are not your friends. When you are working with your co-workers be aloof and cautious; you must keep your personal life to yourself.

If you do this, your co-workers will not try to pry into your personal life. Be evasive but always in a friendly manner. This takes some discipline because some people talk too much. You can be friendly and sociable and talk about general things on your lunch break. This attitude of being cautious also applies to management. The worst of all and the cancer of the retail path is "gossip." Each time you criticize anybody you are automatically in tune with that person and you are pulling out the bad karma from him or her. You are taking to yourself the very bad qualities of that person.

You have no idea how you are being connected. We are all connected with our brain with fibers of energy and we are one with this creation and we share the good and the bad according to how we tune in. The affection for gossiping is the affection for meanness to harm the souls of others. Even though the criticized is harmed, the one who criticizes is harmed even more. While the unjustly criticized becomes untainted, the evil wrongdoers are fated by the inescapable law of karma and are condemned by their own conscience. They are convicted to live in mental anguish in their own self-inflicted jailhouse.

Constructive criticism when not done in a hurtful way is acceptable. People who criticize and gossip are the detective eyes always watching what everybody else is doing. Instead of transforming themselves, they find faults in others. Lets be reminded that small minds talk about people all the time; average minds talk about events; great minds talk about ideas, and the wise man doesn't talk. The wise man learns and does not talk because he knows that no one will understand him. The wise man becomes quiet and silent. He becomes acutely aware of all the motions of life and he never complains. He realizes that all things sub serve a divine purpose. When you stop complaining, wisdom begins to percolate into your being and you begin to understand what is actually happening.
