Courtesy and Acceptance

"Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. 

Of course we will hurt each other. 

But this is the very condition of existence. 

To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. 

To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence."

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Manon, Ballerina

Assalamualaikum silent readers :)

People always say things behind your back, no matter what you do. And the most inconvenient time was when you were at the time of sadness (such as death of a family member, etc). These kind of people like to rub salt into the wound. Some of the things they said may be true, but hey, have you ever heard of courtesy?
 
A wise woman once said to me:
"People talk, and yes they are allowed to. They are allowed to talk if what we did was wrong. But, they were being inconsiderate. They already knew that we are in hardship, but they talk anyway. Just be patient. Just take the truth from their sayings,  and forget the bad. We can never refrain them from talking."
  
Another thing, people who tell other people (who is not his/her family member) about family matters. I know that you want people to know your anger, but please, anything that happens inside the house says inside. 

If things like this happens to you, first and foremost, you should remind yourself that someone who gives you advice privately cares about you, but someone who does it publicly just want to humiliate you. Secondly, protect your tongue from saying things that hurt people, because it will leave a mark in their hearts no matter what. And lastly, people have no power over you, so just be patient.


Thats all from me for now,
Till next time, InshaAllah.
