Many a times in our life we come across bad people - they may be our bosses,our clients, our juniors, our team leads , our relatives , friends etc. etc. and we agree to them considering thats the way it is because we are social animals and we need them to get our work done some day or we will lose our damn job/business, respect, relationship making our lives miserable.. whatever..

My advice - Stop agreeing and saying yes to them when they are wrong.

Why? Because they are BAD, their actions are bad and sooner or later they change the way we think and affect our lives adversely. (You might think - how to judge who is bad? A simple answer to this is let your conscience decide it.)

Conscience is an inbuilt mechanism in humans which is the only thing we humans cannot cheat with. It helps us in giving us a crystal and clear reply within ourselves for an issue. example - An honest poor person whose family is hungry since two days might want to steal a little (because he has no other option) from a lavish shop thinking he is doing right and the shopkeeper will not loose anything substantial. But deep down(through his conscience) he knows it is wrong. Now probably you understand what I want to say.

Bad people as I said do bad things that bring bad consequences to others. When we agree to them and keep on doing so we pollute our mind, body and soul. We probably do not realize it at the time of doing it but later this feeling starts eating our peace within and then we have nothing to do but regret.

Also supporting BAD people (when we ourselves our good) is not a way out. It is so because in some way or the other we are contributing to wrong doing. This brings us to the Theory of Karma and one of the relevant examples in Hindu Mythology, Mahabharta. And for those who are believers in scientific attitude the basic rule of universe “The law of Conservation of Energy” is a perfect example, which in this context says if we are a cause of someone’s misery then we will some or the other day suffer the same misery to conserve the energies in the universe.

So stop following bad people and be true to yourself and your conscience. You might loose your business and job in such case but the feeling of Self Satisfaction and Self respect will sail you through.
