A little twisted piece………J Here people, food for thought for today - be truthful to yourself and try and put yourself in any one category (or categories - even better) mentioned below and then sit back and ponder which category you actually should be….!
Some one told me the other day, “When you want someone to stop doing something, don’t say so in so many words, tell someone else or let time go by, the person will eventually understand……hahhaha J
In my 27 years of life, I have come across people from all walks of life, highly qualified also sometimes, who believe in this approach, whilst some are just the opposite.
The first category of people are who are the so called “Diplomatic” / “Polished”, but are quite double faced, and not genuine, I feel, and would typically use the phrases (with the underlying meaning) mentioned below quite frequently in today’s modern world – viz., We appreciate……but…. (We DO NOT AGREE WITH YOU); You need to understand the larger picture (DON’T BE STUCK UP); Touch base with ‘X’…. (Do not take decision independently!!); Apply your mind (You are really dumb); There is a slim window (There is no hope.);
Whilst there is another extreme genre of people (second category) who believe in being outright vocal- whether that means, being rude, dictating one’s terms – Oh! Who cares……?? e.g., Why wont you? Don’t do that ….. You have to do that…... You didn’t even bother to do that, this…..endless! These kinds of people generally are very interfering, nosey and trend to have a great deal of expectation from “Others” and expect to the point of commanding that from others.
This could also include those (third category) who might not be dictating terms on others (since they could not care less about others and don’t expect from the world at large, anyways, generally mind they own business) but are quite vocal when some one invades their territory and personal space..…and therefore are quite frank with others who are trying to dictate them J this sounds like some war!!!
Then there is fourth category of people, who I would say is a healthy mix and balance of first two extremes mentioned above. And most people would tend to think that they are in this healthy “mix” category, but Alas!
They are the ones who I would say are fair, frank to the point of being honest and straight but at the same time - not rude. Even if they reprimand you or tell you to refrain from doing something, it does not leave a bitter after thought in one’s mind.
So which one are you??
