The HR mentality...

The Human Resources mentality is by far the most egregious and detrimental to individual talent and the expression of ideas within an organization.

It starts to creep ino the mind of the average worker who does not develop any of their passions or talents. In order to make a living, they move this way towards organizing people or talent in order to move up the ladder and solve problems.

Once they adopt this mentality, they begin to view others as a mere means to and end. This happens at all levels of human organization. Government, Corporations, Educational institutions and especially the Military.

Once seasoned in this skill of HR thinking, the dullard's responsibility is to put together teams of specialists to develop a product, invade a nation, promote a philosophy or promote a particular politial view. They don't have any particular skill or talent, but happen to be in the right place at the right time to take the bait. Once they do, they are now in charge of judging others performance, even if they are not qualified to do so.

Taking the bait means selling out. Selling out means they are now on the other side of the fence and are willing to do the bidding of abstract entities that can destroy individual lives. They fire, they terminate, they let-go, they topple, they close down, they down size, they eliminate, they trim the fat and they do it all in the name of the large beast that pays their pitence of a salary that they so dearly prize.

Having the HR mentality means not having any of your own ideas anymore, and employing the ideas of others who have avoided the mistake of choosing the wrong path. Beacuse they employ the ideas of others, they willfully become pawns to those with perceived power over them. In becoming pawns, they carry out wasteful schemes in the name of perserving their own position because they soon realize they have nothing to offer, but thier enforcement skills of others ideas.

So...be careful of the HR mentality. Learn how to recognize it and avoid it at all costs. In doing so you will maintian your self respect and be genuinely happy in life.
