Unfair!!!

Life is just so unfair!!! 
Well...sometimes or most of the time???


I always think that way before.
I do you a favor, you never thank me. Unfair!
I help you carry your luggage to the bus stop because you were going home. You said thank you, and promised to call me back here because you know that I will miss you but you were so drowned by the "coming-home-fever" that you have no time to call me. How mean you were to be so happy without even remembering me here. Unfair!!
You promised me to lend me your computer because I am going to talk to my friend, but it just so happened that you have an unexpected work to do that you cannot lend it to me. But hey, you promised me and I already booked an appointment to my friend. Unfair!!!


Yes indeed, sounds so unfair. On the other side....
I forgot to look on the other side.
On the other angle. 
I was so unfair for I was so sunk in my own emo that I forgot to consider other peoples concerns.


In life, there are lots of things to be disappointed about. But there are even more and more reasons to be thankful. Instead of whining unfair, look at the other side first and be considerate to understand other peoples interest too.


I know a certain person that sounds like that. I would do her favours even though  sometimes I do it out of my way just to help. She would ask for help now and then, of course I gladly embrace and cheer while helping her out.  On one occasion due to an inevitable circumstance, I wasn't able to make her a favour. Then she acted so differently from then on. I tried to talk to her and even asked if she was mad at me. She just bluntly said, "Oh no! Not at all" coupled with a fake smile. Of course it made me uneasy and disappointed at first. But as days pass by, I realize in fact I was doing myself the favour.


People may use you as long as you let them to. Why should I be sorry if she do not wanna make friends with me. It only means that;
I do not need to make phone calls on her behalf to the English speaking customer service because she always say the she is not so good on it and that I should help to make things easy for her.
I do not need to keep her things here in my place because she doesn't have space for her own stuffs.
I do not need to pack her things to send back home on her behalf because she doesn't have time.
I do not need to be interrupted using my laptop because she will borrow it.


After all the favours I did, she didn't even consider which simply meant that she was just after her own good. Friendship as far as I know is about giving and taking. Do I sound bitter? Oh no! not at all. I am sure one of these days, we will come across our ways again.


It is just fair enough for me..=)
