~~Do the right thing, rise above pettiness and grudge holding and grudge holders... ignore people who vilify you or your friends... rise above... take the high road, not just because it is the right thing, but because it will annoy your enemies more than any reaction ever could. Is this doing the right thing for the wrong reason? I don’t know, I am not a philosopher of any stripe, but I know it works for me. And when I forget to do this, I don’t feel good about myself and I don’t accomplish my own goals, I get caught up in petty B.S. and people who aren’t worth my time.-Alison Hymes~~
This is something which i always wanted to write on but was i think shying away from something unknown till i came across these lines from Alison. This inspired me once again to have courage to comeup n face this hardhitting fact myself.
Let's call the species that Alison mentioned above as "Malli(s)", the malicious ones.
I immensely believe in "me, myself and i". Not because of the fact that I have always met such people throughout my life till date, but this is a very commonly found species that exists anywhere and everywhere.
Be it school, college or the place where I am right now. I continue to find these creatures all around me. This used to disturb me alot initially, it still does, the only difference is that I hv now designed my own strategy to deal with them {something like Alison's but not exactly the same as I am not a philosopher of any stripe ;-)} also m not sure if it is the perfect one but i somehow manage with it :)
The first sign would be... Mallis will b offended with anything and everything said and done by you... no matter intentional (which is very rare untill unless you r in a real sadistic mood) or unintentional... you would not be even aware of... and it would be kept inside. Then would start the accumulation phase... to use each n every item of the stack against you later as per their sweet convenience.
They would be around you always... pretend to be very close to you and if you think that you can probably confide in them... booooooom!!!!!!!!! There comes the bang... And now you could see the Malli in all light, in his/her full beauty... and YOU are back to square one :)
Now here i m in the same state of mind as Alison talks about above but a bit differently ;-) to do the right thing, give it back to them with the same intensity or probably even more. But then comes a second thought that ultimately it is ME who is not able to judge the Mallis and not so Mallis... whatever... I am probably progammed that way and therefore I believe that this planet is free from Mallis... i really wish if it could be so!!
But, fact remains the same and Mallis carry on to roam and stroll about everywhere...
But, it is not needed at all, it doesnt have to BE that way... no-one is really needed to be sadistic enough...
But, finally this is how I am and how I feel about it... what say??
Do YOU have a Malli around you?? What is YOUR strategy??
