Police, detectives, profilers, psychologists, FBI, CSI and more devote their lives understanding and tracking down criminals who evoke fear in our society. They have to get in the minds of some pretty sick individuals. That got me wondering how this ability affects their home lives and their career paths.
First of all, if they are successful at tracking down criminals they will more than likely be successful in their careers, if they choose to. However, if they fail at most of their pursuits, their self-esteem could plummet.
The personal lives of these good individuals of our society could be affected in a myriad of ways. When these people are successful at their jobs, they could become arrogant and think they are perfect. At home, they may project a condescending temperament. This behavior may cause marital problems and possibly harm any relationship with any children involved.
When it comes to the afterlife, these folks think only good thoughts of themselves so they could not possibly suffer eternal damnation. So why pay attention to spirituality or their life choices now? With that in mind, they might indulge in pleasures (alcohol, drugs, gambling, food, etc.) to the extent that the pleasures become addictions. These addictions, in turn, could ruin everything for the person and bring their whole world crashing to a halt.
We all hear about cops on the news who have been suspended from duty because of some “alleged” activity. I wonder if this behavior could partly be caused by their repeated involvement to criminal life.
That is a grim look at what could become of them. However, these individuals could be just the opposite. They could be grateful for the healthy lives of all of the loved ones in their lives. They could appreciate everyone and everything that they come across never to be affected by their work.
It seems to me that a balanced life is helpful to these individuals. To have a loving family to turn, an interest in their spiritual life, a hobby, and perhaps, a social life. You may argue that those people who develop addictions have obviously had a social life. What I am suggesting is that they have a healthy social life, balanced by other areas of their life.
