While at the PSC steam room, in the midst of sharing, an acquaintance complained about her despicable friend. That this friend of hers who is obviously jealous of her presumably better life, just could never cease to taunt her over everything she does!!
Ha ha! Sounds familiar! Don't we all experience that sometime or other in life?? But why allow yourself to be annoyed by someone who kept hurting you, I asked of her.
I would shy away from such people and if confrontation still persists, it will be an eye for an eye!! I'd never allow myself to be trodden upon!!
Then she went on that this friend has always assumed herself always right, no matter how wrong she was many a time. As such, would never allow room for self-betterment!!
Oh, yeah?? To this, the Capricorn Pig, I am, offered my differing views!!
If her friend should feel at all comfortable with her decision, so be it!! Who is to judge, RIGHT or WRONG?
I'm pretty sure all would have known about what I'm going to elucidate further! Case 1: A half full glass to me may be viewed as half empty by you! Case 2: There are two sides to a coin...I see numbers, you see an emblem!
In both cases, neither you nor I am wrong!!
To cite an experience, I was adamant about sending Al-Wyn and Ca-Ryn abroad to further their education hoping that they stay rooted to me.
Though I had been labeled possessive, selfish and conservative and that it was about time I changed my mindset, I still maintained my stand till today.
But, as fate has it, though both graduated locally, their careers take them away from home....Al-Wyn, a financial controller with an MNC in Singapore while Ca-Ryn, based in Beijing, is an assistant to the vice president of the richest lady in Mongolia dealing in gold mines!
However, if situation is such that I'm destined to be alone, why fight it but accept it gracefully??
Even if I can turn the clock back, my decision would still be the same! If I can have it my way, I'd still rather have them by my side!
Just as there are some who advised that Ca-Ryn should be home with me as I don't need her fat salary to sustain a living, there are those who opined that her bright future should not be compromised!
There you are! By allowing her to stay on, I'm avaricious, asking her to come home, I would be selfish! So where does this leave me??
Whatever, there are always TWO SIDES no matter how thin we slice....
