"Fucking words"

I have written about the use of this four letter word in an earlier article somewhere in my blog.  It means nothing .. It is just an expression and have no physical harm or contact.  Some people like to use " Fuck you " , it does not mean to have intercourse with you but an expression of anger. Somehow, it carries the satisfaction with it.  Instead of using " idiot"  or "fools", the four letter word have the oomph with it.  It is just what we want to say to someone we are angry or dislike.


Today, I have lunch with a banker and I know him for almost 20 years. The moment I saw him, he started to scold his employer. The fucking bank , the fucking boss, the fucking system , the fucking culture. Every sentence he carries with the word "fuck".


His employer have terminate his boss and he has to report to KL and his secretary was also terminated and he as a VP have to sent his own mail or collect his own mail  while his bosses delay the approval of all his credit application for his clients which in return, caused him to be scolded badly.  The morale was " fucking" low.


I was talking to him about business but he is not keen and his employer have rejected his VSS application and he has to do all the tedious job. He just want to be terminated and get his benefits but hi employer think otherwise.  He was so upset and he not interested to do business with me. I was wondering why he has to suffer like this and carrying all his anger with him. He needs the money as all his family members is in the states.


I began to think of several of my friends who invested their money in some ventures to earn extra money but instead lost all their savings as they get more and more deep into their investments. They could not stop as they put in more good money after bad money. The more they try to save their investments , the more involved they are in the ventures until they are deep to their nose. This is what happen and they go around looking for jobs at the age of 60 plus and start to borrow money from friends . Some of them are senior bankers and qualified accountants and they really look pitiful.


Like is like that we give trust too much and be greedy or fearful of our loses.  It is not easy to be a businessman . It looks easy but actually it is very tough and complicated . Once they are trapped , they could not get out in time. There is one motto :" Trust no one except oneself "


Namaste.
