Emotional Vs Professional

Growing up in this industry has its own troughs and crests.

On the one hand, u make a lot of money, u have a great lifestyle and the adrenalin rush it brings is quite enjoyable.

On the other hand, you grow more and more machine like...devoid of human emotions like sorrow, anger, and for that matter, not even love or hatred. You become PROFESSIONAL. You cannot afford to be angry at someone for not doing something u wanted him to. You cannot be sad that your manager is not happy with you. Whatever the case may be, you put on a smiling face and accept it...and all of tht gets pent up within ourselves; unkowingly we might release everything upon our families...they often suffer the brunt of our frustrations.

English films like terminator have portrayed a tomorrow which would see machines thinking like humans. My take on this is different; tomorrow we might see men thinking like machines...and the start of that is here for all to see. We stop laughing at jokes, at small moments of happiness; we stop crying when something goes wrong. We are forgetting to be emotional. The world has put on a facade.

IT majors keep speaking about values and culture being the foundation of their businesses, but fundamentally, isnt everything about money? And time? I believe the very axes on which the world used to revolve are changed as well..they are no longer X and Y, they are Time and Money.

Hey NEO, is the matrix still there? Morpheus, where are my pills???
