Dementors, Fireworks and Ring of Fire

Have you met one of those people that sucks life and energy out of you?

I think these people are just like the Dementors in Harry Potter. These souless hopeless creatures have nothing to give and feed on other people happiness.

For those of you who don't know what Dementors are, watch this:


I generally run far away from them cuz i've yet to master a truly powerful Patronus Charm. But what if your work place is filled with souless creatures? I've so far only been forced to be around one such person for about 2 years, so whenever i'm near him, i'll bring an extra dose of happiness and sunshine to wield off the chill.

The scary thing is hopeless people attracts other hopeless people (not that they are hopeless, just that they have nothing that they look forward to in life), they gossip about others and bitch about how sucky their life is. The ranting attract more ranting, and soon they gather in size. Once a critical mass is gathered, a black hole effect appears. The culture of the organisation becomes poisonous and kills off stuff like creativity and enthusiasm.

Other than run, my only solution is that we must all be vigilant in preventing them into entering the organisation. Or we should brainwash them with this Katy Perry song ala Clockwork Orange style (warning,super disturbing vid on the clockwork orange treatment).




May we all find our own true Ring of Fire, which Gandalf wore in Lord of the Rings (passed to him by Círdan in the Third Age), "for thy labours and thy cares will be heavy, but in all it will support thee and defend thee from weariness. For this is the Ring of Fire, and herewith, maybe, thou shalt rekindle hearts to the valour of old in a world that grows chill".
