Questions that sometimes do not need answers

Is it necessary that every question has to be answered.

Sometimes its ok to ponder a little by oneself before one goes searching through the junta for answers.

Today for example, Radio Indigo had this question to ask the public.

What will you do if you lose your job ?

Well firstly I think that the whole environment is so unpredictable with all the great news circling around the IT industry, its really very insensitive to ask that question.

And you should have heard the answers which went something like :

I will backpack across country.

I will take my camera and go to the wild.

I will go to Vegas and spend all my money.

I am too important to my company to lose my job.

Either we have really dumb junta or someone up there thinks that its great to lose jobs. Or they really are young people think is having a job is a lark.. and losing it is even more so..

Hello People !! Wake up and smell the coffee …

You got to be more conscientious about others and yourself when something so sensitive is being asked. Also I think it matters how one asks the question.

I liked one answer : I would spend my time with voluntary organizations serving the society the best I can till things settle. ( or to that effect)

The redeeming factor was that after these answers, someone who thought like me.. countered the given answers..

If we don’t have the money to feed ourselves.. what will we do traipsing cross country.. Sigh..

I would think that we should have the media encouraging the junta in finding new ways of using our time. Encourage counsellors to come and talk about the after effects of such an event and how to cope. We have such a powerful medium which could help us. Why not use it to our benefit .. .

Come off it RADIO INDIGO, don’t take this upcoming situation so loosely.

Laughingly asking.. hahaha h!! what will do you if you lose your job.. and all that blah..  Sometimes some sobriety is needed with situations which has the possibility of altering families and relationships and oneself.

Believe me I have been there.. and its not PRETTY.

The emotional trauma is tremendous.. and then if one is supporting a family, the whole family is at a risk of disintegrating.

Radio :  We need to talk more about how to proactively counter this and huddle together to support each other or form groups to take into account of what we could do..

Its in our power and if we plan this, we could somehow just manage to plough through.

On a different note, I was watching this video of musk oxens and wolf and was very impressed at what we could learn from the wild..  I thought.. it was a good example to cope with loss and not to give up..

Till we stop running and stand to the economic storm…
