Of Friends and Fiends

Of Friends and Fiends

Every so often, we accidentally bump with an acquaintance--whom we normally exchange pleasantries with-- and would yield (that instant) to be a mind-popping encounter. For one thing, you’d be so engrossed in your usual pleasantries--that have escalated into some hush-hush chatter—that you’ll end up sharing a confidence that defies an iota of your personality because of the underlying fact that you don’t usually blather to a person that you’ve just chanced upon.

I love that bending moment when you’ve come to realize that your impression of a certain person is way different from that vague nitwit that you have indistinctively marked & plastered in your (occasional) judgmental mind. I admit it, I try NOT to speak (or think of) disparaging remarks to someone that I sized up in a blink, but that teeny-weeny mischievous sprite in me beats it.

I’m thankful for moments like these that strike a chord somewhere; for they are constant reminders that I am one person who is never perfect, yet on a regular basis, tries to do the right thing. (or so I thought) :p

There are also moments when you come across people whom you frequently tattle with—and end up getting cold shoulders. For some reasons, it makes you lose your wits. However, whenever you are in this situation, just remember these reasons that would soothe your patience and deem the conniving fiend that’s about to pester your mood—imbecile.

• ·         Remember: There is always a reason for everything! Go over the fact that your cranky fiend may be going through a lot. Fiend may not have enough money to procure some household needs that’s why fiend is so grumpy.
• ·         Fiend may have had a fight with a family, lover or neighbor, that’s why fiend’s day is ruined and fiend cannot give you a smile.
• ·         Fiend may not have been lavished for some time. Lavished may mean Loved, Cherished, Embraced, Cuddled, Hugged and *vulcanized for crying out loud. Yes, fiend may need that, I’m sure!
• ·         Fiend may have had a brawl over someone in the office because fiend believes that everyone is deficient and damaged except for—you know— fiend.

So, never in a day will you allow a fiend to devastate your pleasurable day just because a sweet kind smile cannot form on a fiend’s face---  

Pardon me; it’s that time of the month…so, 

Let Me Be!
