In Life__particularly in a relationship__never ever say
or do anything that you cannot take back.
Almost anybody in a relationship will vouch for
the fact that there will be ups and downs. When two people are together there
are always bound to be disagreements. And sometimes the aftertaste of a
disagreement may linger on. It is important at such times not to use public
fora to vent your frustrations. Such issues and disagreements are best cleared
and resolved in private. Even if they take a long time. If something is not
getting resolved, you are probably addressing the person involved and not the
issue. As simple as that. Because there's no issue that two people cannot sit
across the table and resolve. So, barring praise for your spouse, partner,
companion or friend, there should ideally be no other sentiment made in public.
If you can't praise, be silent. But don't ridicule, rib or make statements to
get even in public. This applies to marital relationships and also to
professional and other personal relationships.
Ideally, the best way to look at someone that
you disagree with is to look at what about them, despite all their weaknesses,
inspires you. Look for the good in people, you will see and say only good.
Because, as someone has wisely said, “A careless word may
kindle strife, A cruel word may wreck a life, A timely word may lessen stress,
A loving word may heal and bless.”
