Someone stepped on your foot? Soo...???

I will never understand why people make "tsk" or "ssss" sounds when someone steps on their foot or knocks on them by accident. They even give "annoyed" looks when it is obvious that the other did not mean any harm. It was just an accident... I mean COME ON! People don't go on the road with the intention of accidentally knocking on someone or stepping on another's foot. (Please note, I am not talking about the jobless, IRC people who do it to annoy girls. I am talking about just normal people we meet on the road).

What's even worse is how they quickly smile if it is a friend and keep the annoyed look if it is someone they don't know or don't like.

The other day I was waiting for the elevator at work. There was a man of about 50 waiting for it and while we were there a lady of about 35 came. When the elevator came, the man let us get in first before he got in. (Very gentleman like I thought). Then once he got on, he pressed the button of the floor he needed to go to and took a step back. In doing so, he accidentally stepped on the other woman's foot. The woman made a loud "sssssss" sound and looked away. The man quickly said "sorry" and the woman quietly mumbled a "it's ok" still keeping her annoyed look. The man was upset and said "sorry" again to which the woman said "it's ok", a little louder than the last time. Me being the 3rd party could feel the tension rising. The man got down from the elevator. The moment he got down, the lady looked at her feet and gave me a "oh how careless that man was" look. I just smiled.

Even after I got down from the elevator I couldn't stop thinking that the woman should've reacted in a different way. I am sure it hurt but the poor man didn't mean to hurt her. What if it was her son? What if it was her old father? So many questions ran through my mind.

I just wish people would learn to forgive others even in small things like these. Because if not, how can we learn to forgive bigger things? How can we ever find solutions to bigger problems in the world? A smile can make people happy. We all know how to smile when there is pain. Why not change the way we react even when someone steps on our foot by accident? What's the use of making that person feel bad than they already do?

Just think about this...

What is love?

I've never really been in a relationship. I've had a few crushes and a fling. That's it. :P However, I know a lot about love. People wonder how someone who has never been in a relationship know anything about love. I guess I know about it through the experience of my friends than my personal experience.

I consider myself to be lucky to be the person many people turn to when they have a problem. With listening to their stories and giving advice, I have learnt about love. One thing I know for sure is that we all are going to live a happy life in the end. I've seen many friends settling down with better people with time. None of us are ready to believe just after a breakup that we can move on, but trust me... YOU CAN!

People really find it hard to handle breakups. I know it is truly hard to get over something like that. But what we need to understand is that it is our mind that can make us happy or sad. If we try be optimistic, we can enjoy life to the fullest.

Nothing is the end of the world. Whatever it is, we all need to move on. We need to live life. Coz life just goes on.

If you are heartbroken, I suggest you listen to songs that light you up. The best song I think is "God bless the broken road". It kind of goes with what I believe. Destiny has a plan for all of us. Everything that happens today leads to something great. So, keep believing.

My conclusion about love is that love is a beautiful thing. It is all about feeling that someone else in the world is ready to give you all the attention you need. When people are in love, they think it's the best thing in the world. But when they breakup, they hate it. But what most of us don't realize is, the real meaning of love comes out when you meet the right person. When you find someone who can share love with you and show you what the meaning of it.....that's when you've found love. If you break up with someone, what you had wasn't real love. ;-)

Good luck everyone! :D
