quote: "there are some things which you need to accept plainly"
i heard of the quote yesterday, although i've already heard of it several times before. however, yesterday was the time when i saw the person really try to uphold the sentence. and he was talking to another younger guy who was stubborn enough to actually go against it. whatever this guy, A is saying, the younger ones, B kept answering back. seems like he doesn't know the word 'give in' or 'beralah'.
looking back at the scenario, i wonder, if the conversation goes on, what would eventually happen. how will it end? somehow, my curiosity did not get an answer, as B suddenly received a phone call and the conversation ended hanging. though, it would be interesting to see where it leads to.
anyway, i was thinking, if ever, i encounter such situation, at later stage of my life, how should i react? as an older person, should i just give in, and let the younger one continue to live in his wrong beliefs. or if not, should i continue throwing arguments, until the younger person accepted my own beliefs after some coercion? before this i've always had this strong principle that i should never butt into someone else business if that person is not related to me in any way. i think the same principle was taught to us ever since we are young. as in malay saying, 'jangan suka jaga tepi kain orang'. if not, we'll be called 'kepoh', since we like to know about everything, even if it brings nothing in return.
presently, i doubt the principle, and given the opportunity to live outside the country, i learnt that it's true we should not meddle with other people problems, however as a human, we must correct what is wrong. and there should be a limit to how much we should be involved in. after all, not only we're helping others to right themselves, we're reminding ourselves not to make the same mistake.
so yeah, probably later on if i did encounter such scenario, i might continue talking until the other person understands what i'm trying to express, and accept the idea of what i said. cheerios~
