confrontations

how many of us have been in such a situation before? we're waiting for a cab for quite some time and all of a sudden, this other person pops out some distance away and is also waiting for a cab. and what do you do? curse and swear and just accept it? or go up to the person and confront him nicely that he had jumped the queue. the former i'd say coz i used to b such a person too.

the problem with us i guess is that we dun like to confront things. and the reason for that can be and endless list. fear of shaming yourself. fear of getting into an argument that would attract nearby attention. fear of getting into a fight. fear for the friendship that is on the line. the list goes on.

well now u can do 2 things. 1 is to simply accept what is happenin and shut up bout it. no use complaining coz it aint gonna change anything. 2 is to go up there and confront the situation head on. the beauty of it is that, most of the time, u will realise that confrontations aint as bad as u thought it was. it could be a case of misunderstandings or lack of info that lead to the situation and if u had not confronted it as u had done, you wouldn't have known.

so what's ur stand gonna be the next time someone gets in your line? are u gonna choose option 1 or 2? the choice is always there for u. thats wat makes us humans.

a friend has the ability to make u feel good. a true friend has the ability to make you better.
