Yesterday night was really nice, went to a jazz concert with friends, and met all these new people, but many of them worked in the social development sector, which meant that while talking to them I had in the back of my mind that these people could one day offer me a job, so I think this affected the way I behaved with them, like, I was talking about how my work was and subtly trying to highlight my capabilities. I realize this is valuable in terms of developing a career in helping people but I think in the process I may have forgotten to have metta* for them. I wish I could somehow connect as human beings, and act out of metta, but yet also have in my mind that I should speak in a way that is conducive to my getting towards a good job.
