I have been going through some confusion lately. With my every action, I am trying to seek a higher purpose. I work at an institution’s legal department where my main job is to save a multimillion company’s ass and future profit. They put up a mask of being not-for profit but at the end it’s the millionaire at the top who are being profited. While I am typing this, my mind is counter arguing. If only people at the top being are profited, then what about you and hundreds of other people who earn their living just by working for NYU? The proper way of putting it working too hard wouldn’t reap the financial and moral rewards I am seeking. My loyalty shouldn’t lie with the institution because when it comes down it, institution is not with me. I need to clearly define my goals and take actions which would meet with the expectation.
back to my topic of why does it matter? Why does it matter that I actually care about helping people and get things done for them? Why does it matter that I am genuinely wish nice for other people while I know that they will throw me under the bus any day? Why does it matter to have debate over right vs wrong when there are millions of powerful people out there back tracking the progress you have made? Why does my hard work matter when people are being rewarded for being lazy at my department? Why does being nice to people matter when there are hundreds of people killing others? Why does my money matter when there are millions of people starving in the world? Why does me treating my dog nicely matter when there are countless other people abusing their dogs? Why does my voting matter when there are people like Trump working above the law and democracy?
The answer is because if your good actions and intention matter just like any other bad action matters. The good and bad go hand in hand. If there are bad people then there are people like me who actually wish to do good in the world. if they don’t stand up then there is no resistance. Bad actions will go unpunished 100% if there are no good doers. Your voice will bring a change..if it doesn’t create a tsunami, it will create a tiny ripple in the stream. Besides, being this kind of person helps you be sane and sleep well at night. Why not just continue the way you are? I believe the bad actions doesn’t frustrate as much as you being inactive about it does.
