It Isn't That Deep

"How dare you! how dare you step on me", he yelled angrily. "I am sorry, I did not see you, I was in a hurry to...", she was saying but he interrupted. "Are you the only one in a hurry? Are you blind or something? You better watch it", he replied.


"I truly apologise, it was not intentional", she pleaded feeling so embarrassed as people had began to stare. Feeling very uncomfortable, she decided to get off the bus to take another...wishing her car didn't break down.

Few minutes later, he arrived at his destination and thankfully he made it before his time. He was asked to sit as the person in charge of that department was not in attendance at the moment.

In less than 20mins, he was asked to get ready because the person they had been waiting for is now present and he would be called in a minute.

"This is it", he said as he stood up..."I need this...I would get it this time. I can do this, I am confident in myself and I believe this would be a success", he said as he tried to keep a high spirit.

Just then he was called, he walked with all confidence...so sure that he is getting it this time. As he stepped into the office, he heard a voice of a lady asking him to sit.

"Hold on, wait a minute", she said and continued, "weren't you the one in the bus a while a go?". Looking closely at her he knew he was doomed, "ah...no, I mean yes", he said and bit his lips in regret.


"You were the one whom I apologized to earlier but still went ahead to embarrass me. To think that I was hurrying here to meet with you".

"I am sorry about what happened earlier, I must have been out of my mind...can we just forget that happened? My sincere apologises", he pleaded.

"Oh really, I guess mine wasn't. So you are here to get our support for your start-up business, right?", she said. "Yes, I would really appreciate the support of a prestigious firm as yours ma'am", he said with his head bowed.


Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. ~ Charles R. Swindoll



We should understand that life is not that deep, the way and manner in which some people react to certain situations at times would surprise you. Maybe, we forget that life is in circles so we just do things forgetting that it may come back at us. Reactions to situations concerning people matter ...kindness doesn't involve only money or material things but words too.

Most times, it is not even about what happened...it is about how you react to it. The reaction determines what happens next if not all, on most cases. We all have issues of our own, so if everyone should react in an annoying way because of that I bet this world would be unlivable.

We can choose to react differently.


You can't change how people act, but what you can change is how you react. ~ Bonnie Hammer

It's very true! One never knows who one may run into at any given point, nor do we know anything about their story.

The same people you meet on the way up, so to speak, are the same ones who meet you on your way down.
