'Professionalism' Xtreme

I was reading a text related to Hindu mythology. The conversation was between Lord Yama(Hindu God of Death) and Lord Shiva(Hindu God of Destruction). The situation is, Lord Yama is not too happy with his job of taking lives, causing pain and grief. As his boss is Lord Shiva, he lets Lord Shiva know about his dissatisfaction with the job.

To begin with Lord Shiva is a patient listener and then he says, "I well and truly understand your dissatisfaction but at the same time it is your job and you have to be professional, and there must not be any half measures around it".

Moral is, do your job and do it well without getting too emotional with it!
