Amoy tagalong na yaot daan an suyod sa pangisip.
You
have met people whose mind-set is skewed. These persons always look for the
mistakes of others for the sole reason of concealing their own lapses.
Antipathy
is showing a strong dislike or opposition to another person.
There
are persons in the human ecology who directly feel dislike to others and will
automatically find their faults and convince others to dislike the ones they
are targeting. These individuals often have conflicts with others when the
subjects of their antipathy react.
Much
more attention is generally paid to empathy and sympathy than to antipathy,
indifference, and mixed feelings, as though people were prone to compassion and
not to disdain and dislike (Plantinga, 2009).
We
herald on empathy, a positive trait mostly done by persons who see others as
their equal yet we understand that there are those whose plain aversion to
others exist.
The
Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potentials reported that antipathy is
a dislike for something or somebody, the opposite of sympathy. While antipathy
may be induced by experience, it sometimes exists without a rational
cause-and-effect explanation being present to the individuals involved.
The
exploration of a philosophical aspect for antipathy has been found in an essay
by John Locke, an early modern 17th century philosopher. Anchored on this
thesis, social scientists consider those with antipathy as persons with low
agreeableness.
People
with low agreeableness prefer confrontation over cooperation, those who scores
low agreeableness will even be very aggressive towards others in order to get
what they want. Rather than taking the time to praise a person’s work or
someone’s home, low agreeability is common with those who like to criticize and
single out opportunities to do so as well.
Conflict
arise in the organization with the presence of persons with strong antipathy.
Leaders must understand how to deal with these persons. Yet, if this is a
developed character-trait, it must be the person to lead himself towards
self-improvement.
If
not, the individual may suffer the consequence when LEARNED persons plot to
destroy the “villain” through calculated, legal and careful moves to target the
Achilles Heels.
