We all have one. When we fail to recognize that others, also, have one — and one which is different from ours — that is when we get into arguments, disputes, irreconcilable differences, etc.
The complex Kantian position of ordering the universe through a structural imposition of an otherwise chaotic reality gets filtered down to the ordinary person’s understanding that, yes, we come from different places, distinctive upbringings and alien cultures.
It makes a difference upon how we view the world. Some are eternal optimists; others, bedtime pessimists. Some view others skeptically; others, with open arms and “you’re my best buddy” upon a first encounter.
Conformity by society quashes the unique soul, and so we come to expect everyone else to have a similar, restrictive perspective. When others step outside of the demarcation of acceptable perspective, we often find it threatening.
For Federal employees and U.S. Postal workers who suffer from a medical condition such that the medical condition no longer allows for the Federal or Postal worker to perform all of the essential elements of one’s Federal or Postal position, a necessary change of perspective often occurs.
No longer is the Federal Agency the friendly place of reserve; no longer is the Federal Agency looking out for your best interests; and no longer is your Human Resources Office of the Federal Agency the “helpful” department.
Contact an OPM Disability Attorney who specializes in Federal Disability Retirement Law and begin to conform to a world comprised of an adversarial perspective.
Sincerely,
Robert R. McGill, Attorney
