Job Satisfaction - A myth

Most People say they don't love their job. Is their job or profession something really which is meant to be loved? Inherently why do most people , who undertake various jobs, work at the first place? Most common reason which comes to mind is to satisfy their basic requirement of necessary evil MONEY. Job or Work is a medium to earn money for survival.

Let's see our history, during ancient times of Harappa Valley Civilization, people used to choose their profession on the basis of their skill sets. So if the person is keen on doing farming, he would become an agriculturist, or if the individual likes fighting and has fascination for weaponry , he would become a क्षत्रिय। All this was done to ensure person's inner ability which to a certain extent is already present can be honed and the struggle or the pain which he has to go through for undertaking his job responsibilities or basically to earn his living reduces.

As the races grew, population on planet increase, meritocracy was taken over by succession or which later turned into caste system. Son of a priest would grow to become a priest, children of warriors to become warriors. Again the reason why it was done, as humans we know that any job or or any work we undertake and continue to do, because of the presence of certain things or absence of certain things , would always make us unhappy. Thus to reduce this unhappiness and get the work done with affluence and to earn the living with relative ease, best positive route is to choose parental/ ancestral profession, the chances of then getting totally frustrated is lower.

There is a very famous saying, don't know who wrote it, but very pertinent, " Grass is always greener on the other side."
Struggling actors wish to get a single role on camera, the one who is on camera wants to be on small screen, actors of small screen wish for big screen, the ones on big screen wish to become legendary artists, the ones who are known in India wish to reach Hollywood, the ones in Hollywood, wish to be rich like their friends who are industrialists, industrialists who have tonnes of money need power like politicians. Politicians who have power wish to do things differently and desire to become immortal and the need cycle continues. So does the dissatisfaction and unhappiness. If that be the case, finding happiness and satisfaction in your work life is like a Mirage . which you think exists and when you go near, its just an eyewash - ब्रह्म।
Some HR managers understand that and they camouflage the work with other add -ons with which an individual feels happy and clings on his current assignment much longer despite of being unhappy. Smart Human Resources people use, work life balance, flexible hours, engaging family, overseas trips, rewards, recognition etc. The whole thinking behind this is to ensure that the individual sticks on with the profession or the assignment and keeps his eye on the benefits given by the firm and suppresses his anguish and outrage at work.
We spend money, do things to achieve happiness and joy in life. If work starts providing us the same then, instead of we earning money from our firms, we should start paying them.
In a nutshell to look for happiness or JOB satisfaction if one says so is something, unreal and if somebody is saying that he is just trying to fool you as he doesn't want to share his truth with you.

Democracy, Socialism & Communism

Democracy is defined as a government in which ALL ADULTS who are citizens share power and resources through elected representatives.
Biggest lacunae in democracy is the presumption that the adults take sensible decisions while electing their representative and are not influenced by false promises, caste ,creed,colour,monetary benefits ,sect, race religious affiliations etc. Hence democracy is suitable in places where one has independent opinion not impacted by forces which aim at grabbing power and misusing the resources and trust imposed in the elected representatives by the masses.

Is Communism a better way of managing people and enabling equi distribution of wealth in various social sub sections.
Communism is a ideology 0r a political system that proclaims abolition of of class wise oppression and exploitation of poor by rich and foundation of social system based on common possession of the means of production and equal distribution of goods.
Communism as others have its own set of shortcomings. It generally pushes a party or an individual at the helm of affairs, who in turn starts using the available resources for his own whims and fancies. Communism ignores creativity, leads to one party or one man rule, thereby masses following and obeying the regulations set by the leader with nobody checking or controlling the same and the leader thus having no accountability.

Then Socialism must be the answer or is it not lets see
Socialism is a mechanism whereby important resources are controlled by the state and state intervenes and ensures proper utilization of those for the benefit of the subject it actually belongs to.
Somewhere close but not there as missing links in socialism is accountability to the state on the proper usage of the resources. Ensuring the benefits or the scare resources and the monetary gains arising there from reaches the end user of the social strata who needs it badly.

Then What ................. What should be done, what should the new economic order look like to ensure that limited wealth is not in the hands of limited individuals or organisations.

Should have a system having all the three above and something more. Lets call it
COMMUNO SOCIO DEMOCRACY.

Communism versus Capitalism - What's right?

According to Karl Marx : "Communism is for us not a state of affairs which is to be established, an ideal to which reality [will] have to adjust itself. We call communism the real movement which abolishes the present state of things. The conditions of this movement result from the premises now in existence."

In the present state of affairs , is Communism or capitalism, which is the correct way. Capitalism provides unequal opportunities, resources and benefits to select individuals or large corporations which make use of them to widen the gap in the society making poor more starved and rich even more richer. It creates inequality in the social strata thereby making rift even larger between small and big, between haves and have nots, leading to social and economic unrest.

Is then communism a better way of leading the society. Generally communism takes path of autocracy, where individuals become larger than the state over throwing the current regime. Also communism leads to inefficiencies in the system, as there result for each one is fixed and equally distributed, there is no space for meritocracy hard work and perseverance.
