• Office Politics

  I'm amused and amazed at how politics in office can genuinely destroy relationships, dilute processes and corrupt the minds of people. At the current place that I am working at, office politics are not to be avoided as well. Maybe you would like to know how I define office politics.
  
  Office politics = Where there are human beings involved, there will be politics. Carnal desires and selfish ambitions to climb the corporate ladders in unscrupulous schemes, inability to communicate in ways that people can accept or understand the message that you are trying to bring across, stubborness and unwillingness to accept others ideas...
  
  Seriously, I sometimes really wonder whether things will turn out better, provided that people practises the biblical "formulaes" to work. I feel like pulling my management team out and start to preach to them one by one. Haha... But sometimes, certain things don't work because when one speaks, others don't listen - pointless.
  
  Same goes to the church. If politics can happen in office, it can also happen in church setting. Just that it may not be as prominent maybe? Afterall, we are all christians that need to apply biblical principles. That makes the church environment more accepting and forgiving. Whatever the conflict or misunderstandings, Christian should always set that mark or reconciliation in love instead of double guessing one another. Double guessing games are not always fun as it creates even more "assumptions", i supposed.
  
  Anyway, this is my take. For you to think about it... and perhaps, adding on??
