should I engage in office politics - 憂鬱症

I like observing, but I hate being in the middle of it.
To me a job is finding something interesting in the daily chores, and also get
ting monetary compensation.

However, if I get preoccupied with office politics the fun factor goes out of
the window. And navigating it doesn't excite me like a chess game; rather, it
frustrates me very much.

Perhaps I should keep these interactions to a bare necessity, and focus on thi
ngs that make me happy, because whether I win the game or not, it will make me
want to throw the entire career away.

I don't have the makings of a conqueror, winning power struggles doesn't make
me high. I'm a little designer on the sideline who'd rather observe and test m
y theory to make up a system for kings to use.
