Get Me Out Of Here!

Most of the people I know refuse to recognize how mistaken is their life or how boring their life is or how puzzled is their day to day existence. Why? Because if they do it, I mean if they realize it, they also have to realize they are not happy. The best way to resolve a problem is to not have it. The best way to not have a problem is to, despite we have it because we can’t avoid it, not acknowledge it. Basically this means that if we don’t realize we are unhappy then we don’t need to take any action to become happy.

How do I know what people I do not know usually behave like? Just using what I daily have around me: television, radio, internet, newspapers, magazines, telephone and other stuff giving us the opportunity to live in a world of open doors and open spaces. Yeah, open spaces!

Open spaces in a work environment is one more of those North-American inventions in the context of the so called revolutionary ideas for improvement of workers performance and efficiency. I never had the capability, maybe due to my limited IQ⁽¹⁾, to understand how can an open space bring motivation, efficiency and productivity by itself. The fact is, that open spaces have been a practice of many big corporations and it seems that stuff works…

The most successful strategy which may be taken by any corporation towards success must stand on the capacity of its managers to convince that every normal worker, and the abnormal too, is a fundamental part of the structure which is holding that corporation. This has to be accomplished even if they know that we know, at least some of us, that every of us in our corporation is nothing more than just another sprocket among those many which are necessary to build the engine and keep it running. The beautiful part of this is that many of us just play the game… nicely! The delight of this is the fact that we coexist very peacefully with a putrefied peace built in the name of the peace for our souls. Why?

It is not my intention to wake up those who are asleep while passing through life, those totally convinced that everything goes well with them if they don’t create many waves, those trully believing that if there is somebody proceeding wrong it is for sure somebody else but surely not them, those who feel to be enlightened because they fully meet, day-to-day, week-to-week, month-to-month, year-to-year and decade-to-decade an uninterrupted “9 to 5″ professional life style. “Boring…!!!”, would Homer Simpson say, but real. How could it be different? After all formulations, calculations and reformulations we are not more than just another brick in the wall, aren’t we? Or else, no more than just another nobody in the cubicle hell…

Besides, who would really gain if all of those crossing life under an asleep state (lethargic, if you wish) would waken up? Nobody, I guess. Got it? Me too…

May the gods be with you.
