hasunoha

not as a monk, but as a human being...

I'm seriously aware of this very rude question.
As the title says.
I would be happy if you could respond as a person, not a monk.

Do you feel uncomfortable when you see people who work so hard?
To people who work hard, “What should I do to lower my evaluation?” Do you want to hear it directly?
Is it better to smile instead of doing a “snack, please” job?
If people say “thank you for your hard work” when you pass by in the hallway, do you want to say “that's annoying”?

I was also told that no matter how hard I tried, “I'll say difficult problems until I say 'I can't do it'.”
While saying that, they didn't give me any work, and it was evaluated as “unable to work.”

Is this kind of situation normal?
It makes me hate everything.

Good evening.

I appreciate the people who are doing their best.

Now, after going around a circle, what do you think about the monk doing his best at Hasunoha? Annoying? Do you think “I'll keep asking difficult questions until I say surrender”?
You don't think that, do you? I think it's the same as that.

I don't know what kind of work they do, but if you don't get a job, I think you should find one and work for yourself. Maybe my boss just anticipated that much and didn't mention specific jobs.

this is a difficult question.

 Good evening. Nice to meet you, I wonder. The request is “not as a monk, but as a person...” and for me it is almost inseparable.
“What if I wasn't a boy?” You can't make that assumption. I can't really think of the duality of “being a boy like this, though.”
On top of that.
The “boss” you wrote about would be disgusting if that person were my boss. I'm also a “boss,” but I'm not “mean” like you wrote. But I don't think that's “as a boss.”
In other words, from my point of view, the answer is “I don't think it's normal.”
But does being told that make you feel safe in any way?
However, I will write what I think you have misunderstood.
It's up to you to “dislike everything.” It's not my boss's fault. It's just one of the relationships in your life, in the company, that you “dislike.”
For that reason, “so you don't like everything” is a way of looking at the world that you proactively choose. I'm at a loss. I think it would be better to cut that out.

“Thank you” Ran wrote and read it. I think “being a boy” and “as a person” are almost inseparable, but you can make statements “from a work position,” in other words, “shelving yourself.” What you got from the customer was “to do (that) work,” right? As a bank employee, it's like I can't lend money to people who don't have guarantees, no matter how pitiful they are. I think it's necessary to think of that as “this job is like this.”

I read it.
I'll answer as a single person. Incidentally, I always prioritize answers as a single person.

Do you feel uncomfortable when you see people who work so hard?
→When I see and hear people who are doing their best, I would like to support them.

To people who work hard, “What should I do to lower my evaluation?” Do you want to hear it directly?
→I don't want to ask that kind of question in particular.

Is it better to smile instead of doing the “snack, please” job?
→After all, I would like you to do your job well. I think smiles are important for communication. I think it's good to have a snack after you've done a good job.

If people say “thank you for your hard work” when you pass by in the hallway, do you want to say “that's annoying”?
→I would be happy to be greeted like that; I think it makes me want to do my best at work.

I was also told that no matter how hard I tried, “I'll say difficult problems until I say 'I can't do it'.”
While saying that, they didn't give me any work, and it was evaluated as “unable to work.”

Is this kind of situation normal?
→I don't think that kind of situation is normal. I think it's a harassing situation now. People who say such things don't understand people's feelings, and I think they are words and actions that ignore human rights. If you are treated like that, I think you should have a firm opinion on it.

That's because each person's feelings and human rights should be protected. I think it is desirable to firmly refuse anything that is impossible.

Postscript 2/9 Everyone has likes and dislikes

Humans have likes and dislikes.
Even with the same mammal, they want to hold kittens, but hippos don't want to hug them.
People who don't like hippos will think it's “annoying” even if a hippopotamus approaches you insistently saying, “Let's be nice.”
It's fine if butterflies come, but there are probably people who think it's annoying when flies fly in.

Even when it comes to humans, you may think “I don't want this person to get close” due to minor differences, such as the sense of distance when speaking or the way they speak, for example.
It's a crowded train, and I don't want to be approached by an annoying old man, but if it's a young kid, it's fine.

I don't know why (maybe there's no logical reason), but that person probably doesn't like you.
If you are approached by someone you don't like, they will show rejection.
In Buddhism, it is said that anyone can suffer from hate and hate. It's the pain of meeting someone you don't like.

It's a slightly different story, but there are food allergies, right?
There are people who show physical rejection (physiologically unreasonable) even to foods that are supposed to be beneficial to humans, such as wheat, eggs, and beans.
There are quite a few people who are allergic to eggs, and not that many people are allergic to wheat.
There are also people in the world who are allergic to you.
Maybe there's no reason.
However, realistically, when an allergen meets an allergic person, they are not happy.

Postscript 2/9
As you said, it's better to treat people you don't like with friendly language, love, and attitude of compassion.
Speaking ill of others is “evil” in terms of Buddhism.
