Sending off
Just sent off auntie at the airport.
Despite the worries of her not being able to take care of herself in a different climate and country, I'm happy for her, that after so many years, she finally got to board a plane.
She finally got to get off from either work or housework, and she finally got to go around relaxing and get away from the mundane life she has been leading for almost her whole life.
Well, one thing about me is that I can't stand bad-tempered people.
No matter how nice, how funny, how generous the person is, I'll try to be friendly, but I'll never be close. Cos to me, such characters are dubious, and I'll just be wary of them.
Even worse will be people who lie just to achieve their agenda, that's a definite no-no for me. So even for people whom went through shit with me, I'll be grateful for the times, but I'll never be close, that's just me.
It's not that I can't stand dissent or disagreement, despite my strong feelings on matters.
I've been through very strong disagreements with people, and I've can classify these people into two groups.
1. People who can trash out matters, vigorously, but in a civil way, and sought to seek the understanding between two contesting points of view.
2. People who are defensive, basing their ideas first before anything else, faking a front of understanding 'the other side', only to show insistence in his/her own ideas/instincts.
Why am I saying this? I'm only slightly sure. But if you belong to the 'I can't stand' categories, you know who you are.
And if you feel you have no need to change yourself, it's your right too. =)
