Life...An Apparent Paradox...!!

As it is always said, there are three sides for an argument...yours, the other person’s and the right one. But I never knew what the right argument was. So apparently, few incidents in life seem to be contradicting the very rules or rather the so-called rules of life and we are the ones who wrote the rules. Quite obvious...we break the rules.

Someone is teasing a young lady. She is really upset with the process and vents out her anger on everyone who is teasing her. Now, is she supposed to be good spirited and take it in a friendly way or is she supposed to tell them that she doesn’t like all this and be angry with them. Friendship requires friends to be true to each other and understand each other. That means she is right in showing her anger and her friends were wrong in teasing her because they could not understand her. But the society wants the teasing to be taken as a joke and tolerated. That means she must not have shouted at them. Confusing?? It is, to me, a paradox...sounds silly but there are lot more like this if you observe. The premise that you consider for the argument differs and so does the conclusion.

More often than not, people tend to become emotional and they do search for an exit. When some ‘X’ accepts in front of some ‘Y’ that he/she is missing him/her, even before claiming this sentence, wouldn’t there be a minute of struggle in the mind thinking “what if I admit that I am missing him/her?” Because in the journey of life, he/she learnt that being emotional does not really help though it is with his/her own people. But he/she also learnt what such a relation would mean if he/she cannot show up his/her mental situation. Phew!! Again..!! Do they still seem silly?

Simply put, should you do it or should you not? Because the premise that you consider for doing few things might actually differ from the other person’s premise and it happens most of the time. The above mentioned situations are the recent happenings and they amused me but did not bother me much. Lying..!! Had it not bothered me, I would not have written this blog.
