Once Broken Considered Sold

There is always a boundary, a limit when doing something. Fooling around doesn’t become funny when you touch on a very serious issue. Respecting others regardless of one’s age and intelligence level is common sense. And to think of the consequences before you do something, that’s back to basics. What more when the consequences affect others.

I’d often tell myself to always put yourself in another person’s shoes. If I don’t like it to be done to me, I am sure likewise it applies the other way around too. It may be small to one, hence you do it, but what you may fail to realize is the consequences that will follow. Ego is not a ticket for you to appear intelligent and smart whilst humiliating the others. Always always think before you do something. Once broken, considered sold.

Right now, I have just experienced something that has started out as small, but the after-effect may potentially be more than huge.

Sometimes, you’d think that some of them that are closest to you would understand you best. If not because they understand you inside out, it’s because you’ve made it clear to them your concerns on specific matters. Instead, they (still) do the opposite. Their reactions/actions mirror one who don’t know you too well and then the game of regaining trust starts back all over again for me. And usually in this case, whoever contributed to it would not feel like they have done anything wrong, and this is also the case when I cannot be bothered to debate. Let not your speech be given freely except to those who want to hear it and will value it. I just default back my trust level to sub zero (read: case by case basis).

So, never ever ever do something without thinking. Never. Not if it eats up into other people's 'periuk nasi'.
