Love the man, Hate the attitude, the behavior....

last week, i saw on television my former boss, the president of the company i used to work for, being arrested at the international airport for having smuggled 3 endangered Cambodian baby crocodiles from Singapore. you can imagine my first reaction....but then i realized the hell he must be going through at that time....not to mention those of his wife and family.

i don't feel any hatred or anger for the man....i know how he loves animals....taking care of them and even buying imported feedstuffs for them....and i know how he cares for his wife and his children....it's just that sometimes, he makes the wrong choices....choices that he thinks are right....just because a supposedly "marketing analyst" tells him that that is the right choice to make at that time....or choices based on previous experiences that have clouded his inate values as a caring and responsible man!

i know that most of the 70 or more employees who were retrenched last year together with me are feeling differently from what i feel....but i don't think all these bad feelings will help him. i also hope that he learns from this experience!
