Surviving a Fine-tooth Comb

Surviving a Fine-tooth Comb

So sorry folks, today's piece is NOT about hair care at all.  I'm just pulling an analogy here as regards us surviving in life after we get combed with a fine-tooth oomb.  This means when our life gets into those 'INSCRUTABLE SCRUTINIES' akin to a laboratory microscope.  Too bad, being under scrutiny is one of the harsh realities in life because much as we hate it, there will always be snoopers, gossipers, intruders and kibitzers who tend to mind other lives.

To put things in perspective, a scrutiny per se is NOT necessarily a negative action because there are circumstances when, by circumstance, we are under scrutiny despite that no one consciously aims for it.  If in school you're struggling, your academic mentors could put you in a scrutiny because they are looking for tell-tale signs to justify their final ratings for your academics.  

At work, if you are a newbie, both your leaders and peers may likely be scrutinizing you like a fine-tooth comb because that is part and parcel of the situation.  They need to have a good feel of your work traits and quality of work.  You might blurt 'WHY?' Oh well, TRUST needs to be established especially in the workplace and what more appropriate approach to figure out TRUSTING you as a newbie than watching you, scrutinizing per se.

Even technology itself just gave more impetus to a digitized fine-tooth combs in the guise of CCTV cameras.  And those CCTV cameras were put in place for a purposeful need and NOT just to snoop around, breaching privacy.

Now comes the scrutiny via social media.  Where else can we escape from that digitized fine-tooth comb?  To handle this conundrum, let us accept that when you STAND OUT, that fine-tooth comb is not far to happen next.  If you hurdle with aplomb a scrutiny, your credibility will be boosted and perception about you will GO UP NORTH.  So, a fine-tooth comb is NOT that bad after all❗❗❗
