When You meant well
Sometimes, we are in a situation where our action means well, but the receiver thinks otherwise, and you wonder why cant the person see your point of view. It happens in all relationships, be it at home, at workplace, and everywhere whenever you have human interaction.
Recently been through this phase. An action which I meant well to remind someone, was mistaken as making a fuss. An action which I meant to clarify, was taken as criticism. Despite the usage of right word and right mannerism, the misunderstanding couldn't seem to be avoided. Am I offended? Yes, of course. Am I hurt? I can't deny. But I have decided to choose to forgive and overlook the offense. After all, what good will it be to hold? And if I choose not to let go and forgive, I will most properly be repeating the offended feelings to many ppl, and the feelings will still remain there. It's not natural to choose forgiveness, but it's an effort to make the decision. Choosing forgiveness doesn't mean you have lost the battle, but it is the opposite. The gain? Inner peace.
