A corporation is pretty much like high-school. I am so clear about that right now. You can also observe the division into castes: the new kids, the cool geeks, the popular guys, the lame geeks, the hipsters, the naughty guys etc. I actually even wonder if people’s behavior ever gets past high-schoolish levels. Throughout life I see almost the same division as it was in high-school.

Human beings feel the need to divide, to reduce everything to an explainable form. And there are the ones who embrace the unexplained and try to make sense of it, and the ones that fear the unexplained and try to destroy it or enslave it in order to feel powerful and in control again.

Life is all about balance. Just as the physics law of action and reaction, throw someone off balance and he will try to get back to the previous state with all his will. And even when someone throws himself into the unknown abyss, there is an invisible force that tries to pull him back to the old ways. If he falls prey to it and is lifted back to safety, he will become one of the many we know as “Feel Good, Inc.” They are happy with what they have and fear that change will bring them unhappiness.

The ones that fight the invisible “Feel Good” force and keep falling into the abyss are faced with two options: “Feel Great Every Day, Inc.” or “OMG, I wish I were dead right now, Inc.”. Int’s a matter of choice, actually, of adjusting one’s lens to fit the road you are travelling on or the one you wish to be travelling on.

I gazed into the abyss, got mesmerized by it and threw myself in it with all my might. I am feeling the “Good” force creeping onto me, but I am fighting it fiercely. I think I am winning, too. So, right now, I find myself still floating through the abyss, I haven’t reached any f”all-signs” yet, but I wish that when put in front of The Choice, I would choose the “Feel Great Every Day” exit.

Here’s to hoping!
