Saw the weekly wisdom on my blog and feel that i should pen down my thoughts.

Many a times we get offended by others regardless of being family, siblings or even friends. Be it in their actions, words, attitude or their behaviour. In such a situation, what is our usual reaction? To start scolding? To give in to hatred? Or to be indifference?

To dwell on the matter is just a waste of time. But it is just a norm for many of us. Not to forget the matter but to make our life revolve around the issue. It is just another burden we stress unto ourselves. For me, I will dwell into the matter. Easier say than done. I can't just forget about it. If someone step on my tail, I will make sure this person will enjoy a tough life ahead.

It is not wise to stand against me. Not saying that I am right, but is my ego that does not allow me to take a step back. I admit that sometimes my actions is overboard. That's why I told a couple of close friends to tell me off when I am doing something that is over the limit. I won't get offended if my friends come and tell me off. But on the criteria that he must go out for a meal with me.

It is wise to get over the matter. When we are offended, just get over it. It doesn't help if we emphasis too much on the matter. Whatever happened is a thing of the past. So lets just use it as a lesson learned and get over it.

I want to even use this as an opportunity to apologies to all my friends whom I have offended in one way or another. Please don't bear any grudges. We are friends after all. After so many years of friendship, We should be able to talk things out. After all, there's no reason we can't be civilised.
