Secretaries, police, judges, accountants and people in key positions should not be friendly! The disadvantages of being friendly are:
- You come under some sort of obligation.
- You lose your freedom.
- You become prone to picking up bad habits and negative moods.
- Your perception cannot be free and fair. Your thoughts and actions may not be impartial.
- Your focus, commitment, creativity and above all, your time will be wasted.
It takes much wisdom to be free from the burden of obligation and not be influenced by your friends’ opinions and feelings. On many occasions, it is better to be unfriendly than friendly.
Being unfriendly does not mean being aggressive and inimical. The best secretaries, personal assistants, security personnel and judges have to be unfriendly. Those who are aloof and indifferent get centered more quickly than those who are too friendly. A certain degree of aloofness in every relationship will strengthen your personality and connect you to your source. It is easy to be aloof or unfriendly. But to be friendly and aloof is sadhana.
