::::::::: Its My LifE :::::::::

I am a self-proclaimed difficult person, i have issues like........if i dont like someone...i just dont like them, i dont abide by anything i think is wrong, i dont give plastic smiles, i dont talk to someone just for the sake of doing so.....there is a long list of things i dont like and do.....

Following on the same lines.....i had taken a strong dislike for one of my junior colleagues.....it actually were a lot of personal and professional reasons which cumulated to this wall i had made against her.....

then one day a colleague of mine pointed the fact that i had actually been really rude to her on many occassions....."rude" thats something i dont identify at all with.....but then it was probably true, i might have crossed the line...
she told me that the junior colleague was living a very difficult life with a sal of say 10k and because of a major financial crunch at home she was sending 7k home every month, living a very plain life, avoidig socialising to save on money, etc.....ZAPP!!!

I was completely zapped and dumb-found, so much of hard-ship at such an early age and that too with so much courage to face it head-on.......i cannot empathize with her nor will i sympathise, to make her feel weak, but i now respect her, more than i did.....more than i will ever do.....

but one thing i want to ask myself why was a reason required to change my attitude towards her, why couldnt i put a cap to my emotions beforehand....i dont know

But the fact also remains that I may not like her, but i do respect her.........I think it is possible - not to like someone yet respect them for who they are and what they do!!!!!!!!!!
