Decisions

A friend asked you to borrow your favourite pencil. You are reluctant at first, but you agreed because he promised to return it to you after he was done using it. The next day, he told you he lost it and apologises. Would you: 
A. Get really mad at him and scold him for what he did. Then make him feel bad about it.
B. Get really mad and upset at first, but forgive him after awhile.
C. Shrug it off,accept his apology and just tell him to be more careful next time.

Soo... which answer will you choose??

Honestly speaking, if I had to choose an answer, I would choose A. As often as I say this, I always let my emotions come first and influence my decision. This is just a random case and there many other ways our emotions effect what we say and do. Aaron and Samuel, my classmates really opened my eyes. They handle these kind of situations so maturely and with a clear head that it makes me wonder, why DO I get mad over these small things?? And once again, to be honest, I don't even know. 

Maybe it's the satisfaction you get when the person feels guilty for doing what he did?? Or maybe it's a way for me to feel good about it?? Or even maybe i'm just being too emotional and letting my heart do the thinking instead of my head. Whatever it is, I now truly see that maybe there's some things in life not worth getting mad over. 

Let's put it this way, before making any decision, ask youself  'Which is more important. Your friend or his actions??' You'll be surprise to see and realize that your friendship with that person trumps almost anything that person did. Its better to forgive, forget and move on then to get all worked up and be emotional.  

So shoutout to Samuel Loi and Aaron Andre making me understand that life is too short to get mad about these little things. 


Their mistakes CAN be forgiven, our stuff CAN be compensated, but friends CAN NEVER be replaced.
