Deliberate hurt.

Pleasant greetings everyone. Hope you had a lovely weekend. It is already a new week and I hope that this new week goes smoothly for all of us.

We are different people with different characters, traits and behavioural patterns. We even have different temperaments which further diversifies each of us.

I am a different breed. I say this because I am tired of going through a repeat cycle of pain and hurt all the time. I believe that as people associate with each other daily, especially those in closely related circles, there are certain behavioral differences that should be noticed and this should help us relate well with each other.

For instance, I have a colleague who detests ridicule and embarrassment. You can do any other thing to her but don't attempt to embarrass her or make her a subject of ridicule. She would rage like a hungry lion who was just woken up from sleep.

Since I have known about this character of hers, I do my best not to jest or make fun of her at all, since I know that it's her bottom line.

”Respect is reciprocal”.

This is a popular quote that we often use from time to time. But do we stop at just respect? What about boundaries, likes and dislikes?

When a person tells his fellow that he doesn't like a particular action, behaviour or attitude,then it behoves on the receiver to correct himself and not continue in that action which was displeasing to his fellow.

”The eye blinks anytime an object comes close to it.”

This is a fact of life. When a person continues to do that which is displeasing to his or fellow, what that person is expressing is that they lack regard for themselves as a person.

It doesn't hurt to treat people the way that they want to. Instead, I believe that would foster a better relationship and growth.

Personally, I play a lot and I try to be as understanding and accommodating as possible with people but what sets me off is when I am indiscriminately accused or lied against.

I don't find it funny when people that it is okay to just use my name, tell lies and then dump the accusations on me, expecting me to just accept it as that. No,that is not proper behaviiur, if the truth must be said.

”No one is an island”.

We all need each other to grow and even survive. So why do the things that hurt others deliberately just because you think you have the ability to do so?

You can be your brother, sister or neighbour's soft landing rather than a thorn in their side. Choosing the way of humanity is not wrong, it is wisdom.
