But sometimes, just sometimes, I wish that we can all stop being so self-absorbed.
You know, we all have problems of our own, be it family, work, school or friend - related problems. Even rich people have their own set of problems. Sure, they have material comfort, but the pressure to live up to expectations may be conversely related to their standard of living.
But I digress.
Honestly, I don't think that our own problems gives us the right to lash out at other people. Sure, your parents pissed you off, your boss is exploiting you, your school workload is shit, the call centre is acting like a diva on prozac, your pizza is topped with anchovies --- these are all things that affect our emotions. But does it really justify one's unfair treatment of another as a result? Of course I'm talking about a certain someone here. Why would I write this without a strong trigger?
Thing is, we know that you are stressed, and we know your temper, so we go out of our ways not to piss you off. Or maybe it's just me. Constantly tip-toeing around you is tiring. Have you thought of what we have done? Sure, you have great talents, great ambitions, and there's no denying that you will be recognised -- but your attitude will be a stumbling block. Of course, no one feels good when being undermined by a friend, but to lash out at all other friends as a result? Oh wow I'm so flattered you value me so highly as a friend then.
Tch.
(I realise that this post is passive-aggressive and not very objective, even though I initially wanted it to be a reflection of sorts. Of course my emotions got the better of me. And ironically, I come across as self-absorbed as well. ha. *laughs bitterly*)
