I was reading about Tay Ping Hui's blog and came to know how an interview with an reporter through email correspondences turned out disastrous.
The reporter had "abused" what he had said or rather written.
In short, he twisted alot of facts of what he had "said". Thankfully there was this email which proved what he had exactly told the reporter.
And then it came to me.
Even for someone who is effectively and eloquently well versed in languages, with such powerful gasp of languages, is still unable to get away from such verbal attacks. Ok, he's an celebrity.
But what im saying is, how about those who are less effective in their languages. Come on, even ppl who are grad can't speak good english or mandarin, right?
In fact, there can be so many meaning interpretated for one sentence.
Just like taking a coin for instances. It doesn't have both sides only, what about the circumference side of it.
A glass of half filled water, there are not just two scenarios of it.
What the eyes see, may not be the truth.
And then, when one truly meant what he or she had said, supposed to meant it in a good way, will become malicious in the eyes of another.
Or in a situation where, words are put into the person's mouth when it doesn't exist in the first place.
It definitely feels suck to be being misunderstood.
What's worse? When you ever tried to explain, the person doesn't buy it.
And then there are people who criticise you for having no rights to make whatsoever comments just based on they have heard. WTF???
I feel lousy.
Then, i came to realised. I shouldn't 一般见识.
I am answerable not only to myself, but also to my loved ones, my family and my friends.
I know what i did or am doing, is to the most righteous of what i strive to be.
I am not perfect.
But for the least, i tried my best not to judge, to criticise.
At the point of moment, i wasn't happy. It's bound to be. Then, i thought about it, my 'trying hard to be open-mindedness' tells me, this is life.
Why bother.
I just want to be happy. People who misunderstands you, don't even try to understand in the first place or attempt a second chance to revert, does not deserves that kind of reaction from me.
不管人家怎样对待我们,我们都必须保持风度,不辱骂,不动粗,不跟他们一般见识." how many of us can actually do so.. being a gentleman despite what others did to us, hurting us whether physically or verbally, putting words into our mouth, misleading our integrity, honor and reputation. we shall not lower ourselves to their same level.
From now onwards, i shall be more careful of what i'm saying.
To the person who misunderstood me, you are seeing me with tainted eyes.
To the person who said i have no rights, you didn't even know what i was saying and my exact words. I did not judge you but i have my freedom of speech to comment. Like wise, shall i say that you do not have the rights to comment anything about me???
Stop being childish. People, please open your eyes bigger...
