As Professionals: Are We Doing Injustice With Ourselves While Getting Justice for Others?

Are we really doing justice with our family and most importantly with us, while getting justice for others?”

When we get up in the morning, before newspapers or meeting our family members, we do meeting with our whatsapp/mails, which is flooded with all kinds of notices, replies, case laws, updations etc. This virtual office operates and we manage it all throughout the day as well as late night. We solve various kinds of queries/problems in our this office.

We skip/eat at odd hours -breakfasts, lunch, we are working till late nights or waking up early not taking sufficient sleep.Hobbies/personal sport have got no time to be involved in. We are fighting and getting justice for others , getting their tax demands deleted but we very well know that ultimately the “taxes” for this lifestyle would be paid by our “health” and our family would have to pay the “interest” and “penalty” for it.

There was a time when a person used to have stipulated working hours i.e 10 to 6 or any other stipulated office timings i.e  when the office used to open or close, but thanks to smart phones especially whatsapp we all have parallel/virtual offices running almost 24*7.

Work is important, keeping updated is also important, being sincere, hard working, dedicated towards work is also important but our priorities above all should be our family, health and most importantly us. Due to this working style many professionals are suffering from various kinds of ailments and God forbids but if we are prosecuted by ill health or any kind of personal problem than for our compounding applications only our family/true friends would be available.

So work as much as you can but work only after giving due priority to family and oneself first, for we should not do injustice with ourselves for getting justice for others.
