I am back!
Last week was just ‘one huge rollercoaster ride’…and also my system had a terrible technical-problem…So was just trying to keep my head above water… And to tell you honestly…I missed you all… (and I hope you also missed me a bit! “What Vanity?”)
Anyways…while I was going through a mad-rush, a few days back, a close relative walked up to me to share about a problem (it’s so beautiful that at times we don’t want solutions of our problems…we just want someone to share our pain with!)
She has been facing this one person who has been getting on to her nerves for quite some time…and this has been bothering her pretty much…But natural! She looked so very ‘exhausted’…!
Well! We all have come across such people in our life! Isn’t it?
…If you react to them then these sadists (people who enjoy seeing someone in pain) only savor it further… (As they say “The worst thing about wrestling with a pig in the mud is that…he enjoys it!)
…If you become revengeful then you have a danger of becoming ‘them’… (As they say “when you embark on a journey of vengeance, you dig two graves…one for that person and one for yourself!)
So what’s the way out?
…The fact is that such people deserve pity more than anger…! They behave this way either due to some ‘complexes’, ‘circumstances’ or simply to ‘get attention & importance’.
So the best way out is…Learn to coexist with them and focus on good people of your life!
They are everywhere… but so are ‘good people’!
No surprise attitude is defined as “the power to choose…”
PS: And who knows? We may be one of those to somebody…
