Pleasant Space: (Unedited): 09 July 2013:

A pleasant work space is made up of pleasant people who desire to be more than just present. 

C.J.MacKechnie

=================================================
The people who make up a pleasant work place are those who seem to want to be there and actually show up early to make unnecessary preparations, which creates a welcoming environment. Who want to always to the best job they can and enjoy doing so. Who are polite in the course of their day and want to be. Who always answers the call for assistance when there is a problem and is satisfied when the thing is all good to go.
This is a pleasant work place. 
=================================================
The ugly work place and space is where management always has to watch those dark hiding places where people like to get away. The management has to offer training on how to be nice under the guise of customer service. The break room becomes a disaster area. The employee conversation seems to joke about customer stupidity and meanness. The outside smoking area with butt containers. Still needs to be cleaned up. The employees do not seem to care about other employees and refuse to go out and help others when there is a need.  The back stabbing. The importance of social communication when work duties are needed to be completed. Not focused on the job is evidence that the job is of no importance.
==================================================
If you have to train people to care. Then you are hiring people who do not care and will not care. Because, most people know how to spot a phony smile.
The mean customer is a reflection of your employees apathy.
An employee who is only there for the paycheck. is not concerned about the company, the customer or you.
An employee who only does the absolute minimum to keep their job. Is not concerned with your bottom line, Profit/Loss ratios or even thefts.
Just listen to your employees when they are unaware of your presence. From their words you will know the effectiveness of your management team and Human Resources Department.

More Apathetic: (Unedited): 09 July 2013:

Apathy tells you it is to risky to love, show compassion or care for others.  While apathy does not tell you is that the more you become apathetic the more you are alone, separated and isolated.  

C.J.MacKechnie

=================
The apathetic thoughts and emotions you begin to allow a recognition of importance. Seems to be self protecting and self beneficial. But, as time goes on. That self protectionism cases you to become more and more alone over time. Separating you from friends and family. Then from the rest of the world. To the point that even to be among other people causes you to much stress and anxiety. You become a home body. Enjoying the anonymous privacy of the computer and Internet. Reality T.V. becomes more important than news, Religion, politics or even the loss of those things which are very important. Like your life even though you still exist.
Eventually you may become so home bound that you die alone. That is extreme. But very probable.
To care. To Love. to show compassion is apart of your humanity. To deny those aspects of you for self protectionism only De-evolves your whole being. You actually become less than what you were.
===============
You can return to what you once were a fully intact human being. Quit your smoking, drinking and any mind altering drugs. You may have to ween yourself off of them. That is a beginning. Go outside and find something to care about. Like the family you have forgotten. Assuming that is possible. Call them and ask for help.

Self Apathy: (Unedited): 09 July 2013:

Those addictions which harm the body is evidence of apathy of the self. 

C.J.MacKechnie

=================================
 No one begins to drink alcohol, smokes cigarettes or use drugs in the hopes of achieving addictions to those substances. It seems to always happen though. Even smoking cigarettes becomes more important than family or employment. Cigarettes and other drugs attacks your ability to care or even show a realistic amount of compassion. Thus leading your own family into an extinction process as your family lineage comes to an end.
The damage to your ability to have healthy and strong children is greatly diminished. Plus, the possibility of introducing damaged DNA is a very real probability. How is this good?
It seems to me that those substances which are greatly addictive is De-evolving the entire human species.

Questions Journey: (Unedited): 09 July 2013:

Sometimes the silence is the best response to your questions. The journey of answer discovery has greater rewards, than a simple answer given. C.J.MacKechnie

========================================================================
 When we pray to our GOD of our own understanding. Sometimes we get silence. This can be very frustrating to any of us. Especially me. I can be impatient at times. Then GOD sends me a spiritual LOL.
It is simple. We cannot grow, develop or evolve if our lives is of absolute ease and comfort. If every single answer to every conceivable problem is instantly given. If it all were, Then why live physically? Even our bodies must have stress, weight, effort in order to grow stronger. If you just remained in bed for a given time. Your muscles will atrophy, then a time later you will die.

Answers Journey: (Unedited): 09 July 2013:

Expect not an answer to be freely given. Especially if it would stifle your growth and development. Some answers require a journey.
C.J.MacKechnie

===================
An answer easily given to you can cause you great harm and bring to a stoppage of any further development.
It's kind of like learning Algebra. Instead of the Instructor teaching you Pre-Algebra he just gives you the answers. If you do nothing more in Pre-Algebra. Then in Algebra 1, you get the same instructor and again he gives you all the answers.
Then when you take Algebra 2. Now you have a different instructor. How hard will it be for you to learn? How will you feel? What if the school finds out and takes away a year of those classes?
It's cool to get free answers. That is selfish short term thinking. That instructor has harmed you worse than some bully beating you up.
The person who freely gives you any answer. Is causing you harm by disallowing you to learn how and why you came up with the answer. The how and why is more important than the answer.
=====================
The importance of algebra and other advanced mathematics foundations. isn't whether or not you will use it daily or even profit from it. The importance of algebra and other mathematical foundations. Trains your brain for reason and logic. These advanced math concepts are that crucial for a young minds development in being able to think critically instead of always thinking emotionally.

Animal Advantage: (Unedited): 07 July 2013:

 Taking advantage of another person without any concern or care for the future or for that person is you De-evolving yourself to that of any other animal. 

C.J.MacKechnie

===============
 This is more evidence of apathy within various cultures around the world.
Taking advantage of a person because you can (Expressing Dominance) or because they are being nice. Is wrong and harmful to a person who is being nice and civil. Taking or getting as much as you can from a friendly and nice person. Will not only come to an end for you but may also cause that friendly and nice person from ever helping or assisting any other person. So by you taking advantage in order to get more for yourself is an illusion. Yes, in the short term you may get a small percentage of more. But, in the long term you will get nothing more. So, the advantage is not yours and you are not only harming a good person. You are harming yourself. Which is not logical.
=========
Animals are opportunistic creatures. Humans who take advantage of other people are De-evolving themselves down to that of animals.
Taking advantage of another person without any concern or care for the future or for that person is you choosing to  De-evolving yourself to that of any other lower animal.
==========
Here we have identified apathy, De-evolution and Selfish greed. 
None of which advances the Human race in any way. It only De-evolves humanity into something which is less than.

Present Destiny: (Unedited): 06 July 2013

Fear not the unknown destiny you pursue with vigor. Because, your destiny will always manifest within every present moment you are aware. 

C.J.MacKechnie

============================
Your destiny has never been unknown or uncertain. Only your awareness of your destiny is the source of all of your uncertainty.  You are where you should be.You are there in that spot you sit. Your destiny always manifests in your present. Regardless if you are aware or not. All of your past decisions and actions, brought you here to this very moment.
If your current present isn't as you desired it to be. Then change something or change everything. Become self correcting and self governing towards the destiny you envision for yourself. You are the sole empowered being of your own self defined reality. Of course unless God says different.
