The Damned

It sucks when that happens to you. That no matter what you say or do, you still get persecuted for it. Even if you're not arguing with them.

I say something, they take it against me. I don't say something, they think I don't care.

I know they want to rant like anything but sometimes, their rantings are irrational and it comes to a point that you just want to say something to make them see the "other side" of things. Not completely argue with them.

I am a person of diplomacy and I like to think that there is a reason for every action and reaction. It just doesn't work one way. It takes two, and I'm the kind of person who finds that out before even making my own rationale of things. But sometimes, whether I like it or not, people can be so irrational sometimes, and I can't do anything about it but to accept the fact that they are like that.

But I am one who won't let you go without thinking about something other than your own interpretation of things. As much as possible, if I have the chance, I make them see the other side of things so they can later reflect on it and make their own interpretation. The side that they don't get to see because they're too cooped up with their own emotions and thoughts that all they think about is that they're right.


Not all rantings are right. Yes, we rant because we like to get our emotions out of our chest or else we will "explode". But sometimes, after all the rantings, we need to listen to what others think of the situation, from a different point of view, as they say.

I'm not also saying that my view on things are right. I just want them to weigh things and not make decisions out of emotions. Sometimes, when we're mad, we tend to see things the way we interpret them and not think of the possibility of other things.

The benefit of the doubt. We should all practice that. Not all things that we see or hear is what they are. There are reasons for everything. Even farting has its reason. It means you have lots of gas.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. It just saddens me that no matter what I do, I will still be at the losing end because that's how they think of me.

If I speak or say my opinion, I get persecuted for arguing and interrupting them when all they want to do is rant. If I don't speak or make any reaction, they will think that I don't care.

See? Losing end.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Either way, you're still damned.
