We all experience those day where everyone just seems to enjoy giving you a hard time?..In my case, this seems to happen on days where I am already as frustrated as a facebooker with slow internet. Luckily I discovered the only way to getting what I want is to act like a caffine injected lunatic i.e raise hell...hey, it works! I just didn't like it when people began looking at me as though I needed to be strapped down and put in an asylum...Well one of those days I was going to ask the secretary of the sociology department at my university about a course there, and received a rude response together with disrespectful body language and no answer to my question...here we go again, just blow your top off and she'll point her finger the right direction..but I just looked at her and she was so old...I thought to myself, what if today were a day she discovered she has cancer, or the day her son went to hospital, or the day she realized her, justifiably, small salary will never allow her that breath of comfort we all let out at the end of a hard day....Top this off with constant student concerns and well, you can't blame her...I started to apply this mentality, rather than raise hell, I raised the white flag. Ofcourse I am not saying you should go hug someone who has just insulted your mother, we still have to draw the line when it comes to exploitation and direct insult. What I'm saying is that maybe we can all learn to turn a sympathetic eye towards those who deliberately ignore us, provoke us, eye us degradingly and seem to worship bureaucracy. Whether they are cruel by nature or were forced into cruelty by fate, we should always be grateful under our breath that we are understanding enough to see beyond their cruelty.
