|Selfishness|
What's being selfless?
What's being accommodating? We often think of ourselves and ourselves only, failing to look at the picture from another's angle.
Perspectives. What you think is right might not be. What you take for granted may just be taken away from you. Then you feel that you're a burden to others. And when that happens, it ends up in a tragedy.
Cold war then happens. Lucky they're others around to salvage the situation so it lasted less than a day.
I, somehow, was the one sandwiched in between. I've heard both sides. There's no judgement to be made. There's no taking sides 'cos you can't.
But somehow, it's always just a misunderstanding. Miscommunication. Words have already been shot out. What was meant to be a joke turns out to be plain frustration and unreasonable yelling.
I said " If it was me on the receiving end, I might've just broken down and sobbed by myself quietly."
The one shouting relented. Perhaps got a bit of the
other perspective.
The sky remains clear and blue.
