8 Testament of South Jungle

Do we live our life based on principles? If yes, do we do the exact thing or opposite of it. I have a tale to tell here regarding the ups and down of South Jungle. There are 8 Testament that is suppose to be abided by all living life in the South Jungle. Alas, the opposite are done here for survival sake.

1) Professionalism
Do we work with a distinguish ability in our daily work? The supposedly “know onions” here in the South Jungle are full of crap. The vultures only backstab in a professional act in a cowardly manner to be look upon by the puppeteers. Works are shabby by the “old war horses” that does not hold any qualification and experiences.

2) Respect
To hold in esteem or honor is a glass image. What we see or do is what we get in return. When we embarrass or put down someone in public, is this respect? Most people accept loads of work pressure but most people cannot accept humiliation or embarrassment in public. This will only bred loath, abhorrence and despise of the authority or paymaster.

3) Caring
To be responsible for/ watch over youngling. The only caring done here by there craven, invertebrate and milksops are their own “Asses”. These “two face” hyena will two-time any inexperience in the culture of the South Jungle. Imagine what will a lion do when it sees a limping doe. It will pounce and tear the creature from limb to limb while the hyena wait for its turn. So “caring “does not apply here at the South Jungle.

4) Cooperation
Toughest value to install in oneself in it/he/she has the opposite of the top 3 values. Imagine an enemy of my enemy is my ally till we kill our common enemy. Well here in the South Jungle, this does apply to a certain level of understanding. Once the common one is down and out, they turn among themselves with full enmity and dissension. Talk about teamwork in the South Jungle. It’s a wild, wild jungle out there.

5) Honorableness
Adherence to moral and ethical principles is the meaning. In lay man term “ gentleman”.
Not a sword in the back. The virtues embossed in the “ old war horses” are stain with the blood of past victims.

6) Entrust
Its true that the “bosses” are empowered to say or do what is necessary but does it include humiliating a person? What level does this put the main character in the South Jungle? At times, the empowered person is unable to make decision as the “bosses” hold a tight rein on the “old war horses”. Responsibilities need to be delegated yet some will go to the grave holding the rein. We see puppets and we know the puppeteers. This puppeteer will never relinquish its power.

7) Avant-garde
The virtue of introducing new ideas and new concept. The leading edge ideas are accepted but not given life as the “old war horses” keeps to the puppeteer’s tune.

8) Competence
The creatures in the South Jungle should be measured by the successfulness achieved in performing a task. Here we got some who are measured by their famous “ nasi kang-kang”. Some measures a knife in the back as efficiency. True to the core values of “efficiency”.

In short, the South Jungle is a dangerous place whereby many animals cannot know an enemy until they are bitten while they lay dying unconcern by the natural jungle. Many has come into the South Jungle hoping to make a living of the harsh world out there yet when they are in, they rather face the blizzard and storm again. What drives an animal to move on in life is food and continuation of their legacy. But take to heart that there are a bunch of animals that band together in hope that one-day they can find something in other jungles to call home.
