Lesson 25: Of Snappiness and Irritation

Don't you hate it when someone makes your patience snap in half?

Don't you just hate it when things go out of control?

This just happened today. I was talking to people about the possibility of changing their plans (for flexibility) and then things kept going wrong until eventually i snapped and i was like, "fine! do what you want!"

Then i sat there hating how i was feeling because, let us face it, handling stubborn people is not the best thing for someone still recovering from a malaria infection. You just want to lie down and enjoy some semblance of peace but there goes someone yelling down the phone at you about how they won't do what you want them to do. All because it was a slight change in plans.

I really dislike people who refuse to be flexible, and their only response and validation is a loud yell.Makes you wonder where their manners went. Really, there is nothing wrong with turning someone down. We are all entitled to our reactions, and we are all entitled to our opinions. However, that freedom does not mean that the common guidelines preserving politeness be blurred just because you are trying to make a point.

Anyway... I have nothing more to say, except that as Eid draws closer and closer, that Allah gives me the patience and peace of mind that i need to properly function during my recuperation. Inshaallah, we'll see each other again.

I promise to avoid being a stranger.

Sincerely,
Me.
