Words from the Past
Words from the Past
There will be plenty of moments in your life when you might have said something to someone, at that time the words just came up in your mind and you just said them bluntly but later on the true meaning of those, you will come to know when you have really learned the lesson of life in a hard way. Yes everyone does that in their life these things sometime arise suddenly and will put a smile on your face. Because you come to realize that how important you were to someone then. There are many moments in my life where I have said something to someone. Ah! It’s a bitter truth that we cannot change our past. Smart people in this world do not live in their past but it does not mean that they have totally come out of it. It’s just they have learned the art of staying well in the present and they always try to create such events / moments that they had in their past without anyone noticing it.

nomerci, you have a point there. There was a time I used to use sarcasm, but I guess I overdid it :P so then I flipped over to the other side, that doesn't always serve me too well either. So I guess it has to be a healthy balance of both sweetness, and sarcasm when needed. Because honestly, I've learned there are some people who don't deserve your goodness all the time. I don't mean you should be mean/bad to them either, but with them the best tactic is just keeping your distance, even sarcasm is wasted there :)
And like you say, we should work on not letting people get to us. And yes, eventually karma does catch up to each of us. Good advice :)
Well aiwa, I too have learned the hard way. And sarcasm can help...but only temporarily, AND, most importantly, it WILL get back to you.
So, here is my advise....let them say what they want...work on not letting it affect you.
In this way you will do perfect, and get perfect....they will get what they have given...one way or another.
tinker, mehehehe, feels good just reading that :)
I'm learning, I'm learning!
Rightly said jars, but sometimes some people take you too much for granted, and even though it's their own fears and complexes that make them TRY to trample upon others, it's important sometimes to make them realize that they can't just road-roll over you anytime they want. Being polite and kind, I can't advocate more (too much of a dearth of KIND people in this world), but there is a distinction between kindness and being spineless.
Oh I love that tinkerbell! And yes, that is the best form of getting back... not in anger, not in stupidity, but sweeetly dished out sarcasm. Ah, if only I could master that art. teach me QLers!!
If somebody throw a stone to you, throw back a piece of bread at him. Politeness is the best way to fight back.
Sigh. So true. I've had my share of learning things the hard way. It's just this darned human nature which is so restless and heedless. But that shouldn't be an excuse for not trying to become wiser.
Just today, someone said something mean, in fact demeaning to me. I did not reply as it was so absurd. But then the whole day I kept fuming and thinking about the things I'd say to that person the next time we met. Am still angry, but I did realize that responding would be equally absurd, and sometimes it is best to let things be. Better to not avenge my hurt 'ego', than stoop to the same level of that person.
Hard road yeah, but the itch still remains, to reply in the like, for a little while at least. Lord help me persevere!
... man was so intelligent and cunning that he could always think before he says anything and to whom he is saying ...... there would be no memories ..... everything should be recorded ..... think about it...... we say something ...... bluntly ..... not necessary in our anger, grief, or happiness.
It just said the words just come out by them self.....
I agree with you in many ways about the young generation ..... and yes with the passage of time you come to know who is your friend and who is not.
Above all it depends upon whom you are talking too...
thank you for the comment
Thanks Fathima H for sharing Our Holy Prophets sayings.....
jArsOfclAy78, FathimaH....
Thank you all for such valuable comments .....
bonifate is a word from the past ....
So many times we say things about another, without thinking, either in anger and annoyance, or even in jest, and then repent and wish we could take back our statements.
Life dosen't come with erasers. And words once uttered can never truly be taken back. Better to think then carefully, before we say anything to anyone, and as FS said, avoid talking specially when you are upset and angry.
The words of our Prophet comes to my mind. He advised us:
“Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should speak a good word or remain silent"
Wish it was always easy to abide by!
Then some people would remain damn quiet.
It is still better to think first before talking.
How true.. But the damage has been done and she has walked out of the door :O(
I live by the old media maxim. Print and be damned!
Better not to talk when you are angry/upset/sad..
Once a word has left your lips, it's not yours anymore.
I hope people will talk about it as they want to.
