Today something interesting happened at work today. One of my colleagues had a quarrel with another colleague. They used to be a couple but they split recently. As such, things have been a little tense between them. Actually I wanted to mind my own business and just not get involved in any way. It's not as if I do not have my own issues to deal with. But I actually got to listen to both sides of the story about how the thing started,......
It was interesting how each presented their own side of the story which made their cause valid. Had I only listened to only one side, I would have been convinced that the side I listened to was right. After I listened to both sides, I realised how we can leave out or overlook details which are not to our advantage. I don't mean to take sides or judge anyone cause I could be one of them as well.
Recently, I fell out with a friend. And in my mind I could easily justify how I was not wrong at all and in fact my friend was the one who was just being petty. But after today's incident I realised that I could be wrong as well. All too often, maybe because of my insecurities, I could easily put up excuses to justify my cause and make myself feel vindicated. Only problem is that my friend would not even respond to my sms, so I am left guessing where I could have gone wrong. So sad. Just when I thought I had found a soul mate, I lost that friend. Sigh,......
