Be careful what you say because it might hurt other people

The funniest thing today that happened to me was when someone called me a coward just because I didn’t want to please her. If she thinks that I don’t want to meet her, it’s not because I’m afraid or I’m a coward but because I have duties and obligations that I can’t ignore.

I’ve always been impressed by those who can quickly assume something without knowing the real situation. They can do that to other people but when other people treat them like that then they get angry or can’t accept that treatment.

Learn to understand other people if you want them to understand you too. Doesn’t friendship or other relationships require cooperation from both parties? I don’t have to explain all my reasons just so she can understand and accept the reasons why I should refuse to see her. Although maybe she did it to joke with me but at least learn to understand other people’s condition.

Sometimes people can be so selfish and so childish. They may have had a bad situation or a bad day in their life but that doesn’t mean they should treat other people as they please. If only they knew that sometimes it’s hard for others to share their troubles because they don’t want to be pitied or seen as a burden.

What impressed me even more was that when they did that, they weren’t young anymore. Don’t all of their life experiences give them a lot of lessons in life? Is it so difficult to open their hearts and minds to understand other people?

In this life humans will not be able to live alone even if they want to because in the end they will need the help from others and if they want to be respected then learn to respect others.

Watch your words because words can hurt a lot more. You never know whether your words hurt other people or not. Other also have feelings, have hearts and they also want to be respected just like you. They are not robots that don’t have all that and you can treat them as you please.

Whatever it is, treat other people as well as possible if they treat you badly then it’s their decision and one day their treatment of others will come back to themselves.
