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.

hmm...three sides of an argument? u seem to say tht no body is right in their argument...our argument or others argument may be right after all..i am not saying either of the two must be right ....sometimes it may happen both the arguments being right..watever, i think u may have quoted it rhetorically.....regarding teasing...well , we often try to adapt ourselves to the place we live..place may include ppl manytimes...ppl arent wat we want...so , choosing among the ones whom u need will help u easy in the adaptation process..even those few neednt be branded as ur friends..its just tht u can develop a tolerance with them..
all i am trying to say here is tht..if the teasing is testing ur breaking point they arent ur friends or rather u arent their...u arent meant to be with them...if u really wuld have liked their company, u wouldnt be bothered abt tht teasing..and wat society needs us to be isnt written anywhere...we have just seen some aspects of life and society...there is yet i feel a lot to learn wat the norms are to live in a society...and regarding the next para i think its too personal to leave some comment..particulars are needed to understand those things :P :D ...finally whether to do it or not depends only on once premise( i strongly feel) ...one shuld only think of not contradicting oneself...as u said we cant estimate other ppls premise..we shuld stick to ours and only ours..if there are mistakes..one can learn from them (before being too late ofcourse) ..mistakes are afterall one of the method of learning.
