That One Step!

Why does everything have to be so complicated in life? Maybe Life was always complicated but I never thought in such a complicated manner! It was a striking statement at work today which made a huge difference to my evening - "TRUST NO ONE!". Seriously? Why not?
Competition existed ever since we were in Preparatory. How come we just blindly trusted people and became friends? When did life complicate itself so much to thrown that statement at me. I do take time to make friends but when I do, It's sticking with them through good times and bad.
Going for a "Team building" outing from work, made each one of us realize the importance of trust! Being blind folded and made to walk a rope which was 4 feet off the ground with just 2 of your team mates holding you is quite a feat without blindly trusting your team mates to take you through. Competition existed till I passed out of Engineering. Some came first while others didn't. The bottom line was - We didn't work hard enough!
When did Trust become such a big issue? It is a big one! But not trusting anyone?! That's just too big an issue to be answered by me. Imagine a world where no one trusted anyone, it would be sadistic! It would be chaotic! It just wouldn't be nice!
How wonderful it would be if we all just took that one step, laid down all our fears and just became friends minus the back biting and the Office gossip, we are so used to!
All it takes is one tiny step! That tiny step a baby takes. Minus the fear and distrust because they are all  inbuilt.

Randomness!!

College ended on a tearful note, like every separation would end on. Iv been through hell and heaven but when I look back it seems nothing. I got really nice friends at the end of it. After all the back biting, but there are exceptions to every rule and it's always hard to teach an obstinate, old dog new tricks. The lessons taken away was amazing. Im guessing my Fineness test worked out great. Fineness test is an experiment carried out in our 2nd year of Engineering to get the finest of materials. I thought I would continue using my same old cheat codes to get nice friends but sadly some people cheated my old cheat codes. They came almost too fine. I wonder whether these are the boons of a Profession or maybe you never make friends in your workplace as everyone says. It's hard to be wary when I know it isn't going to be like that. But isn't safety always better than curing yourself later. Iv stepped in the feet of a Professional and it doesn't seem like it. We're all a set of children still, each as unique as the other. Not one similar to the other. A set of children with a wonderful mommy as our trainer. A set of children with our company's ID card. It's been less then a month and everything seems so hazy. Everything seems to be running in perfect order. Can this actually be happening? It's so hard to shut the pessimist in me. Some experiences may never change the way you look at life and as I said it's very hard to teach an old dog new tricks. But if things are actually the way it is, I could sum up our training session as Epic!
