Ok This was writen by my friend Eugen M. I would like you to read this!
“Having thought about people for a long time, either by habit or imposed by the job, you begin to feel admirations towards animals; they at least, don’t have hidden thoughts”. (Albert Camus)
Thinking of mankind, we think about all people on the planet, including those who surround us day by day: at work, at school, in the cafeteria, etc. If one is an active member of the society, he/she should get know at least several new people each day, but just a glance and a talk with them isn’t far enough from affirming that you know him/her well because the first looks are usually deceptive.
One’s character is formed as early as in the childhood. We all grow up in different conditions, starting with the family education and ending with the financial situation. Although, the top one is certainly the education you get from your parents. As a result, when ones grow up, some of them will be very ambitious, hardworking while others, more slow and timid. Thus, the way we think and act differs from one person to another.
As matter of fact, some people, having already lived a part of their life, get to change their character and attitude towards some people. Why is that happening tough? As a mature, being day by day surrounded by people especially you meet at work, you get to know them more closely and sometimes that’s disappointing. You just happen to discover some qualities that show the negative part of the person, like: avarice, flattery, greediness or even talking behind the back. At this point, you start to understand what life actually is and how rude it can sometimes be.
In most cases, talking behind your back will start as soon as you get some great achievements, as you prove that you are better than others, it will start – and it’s inevitable. So, the issue is success: whether you got a promotion, more money or just a friendlier attitude from your boss than towards others. The most painful thing is that some of those behind back talking aren’t even right and sometimes don’t even make sense. Quoting a famous saying, that: “Men’s best friend is the dog”, Albert Camus was right saying that people, after getting disappointed, usually find an attraction for animals, because animals seem to be always devoted, adored and friendly.
Dealing with behind back talking is another point here and it actually links with the way you solve conflicts and the initial education mentioned above. The most effective way is considered to be a joining between patience and positive thinking. Thus, when you hear some of those, try not to pay much attention and at the same time keep a good hold of yourself. Smile and turn everything you’ve heard in a joke.
It is said that "great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people", in my opinion, we all should pay less attention to what is said behind our backs, it’s not worth our health and attention and those who do such things will have a “stamp” for their whole life.
