己所不欲；勿施于人
All is fair in love and war.
Today, i talk about war; ok maybe conflict would be a better word.
When two or more people are involved in something, whatever it may be, conflicts happen; or to be a tad dramatic, war happens.
It could be at work, it could be at play. It could be in school or anywhere, really. Where there's people, there's conflicts.
Some people keep quiet, others speak up. Bear in mind however, that keeping quiet doesn't mean you know nothing and that in speaking up it doesn't mean you're all right.
Some people try to be nice, they try to keep everything together; they have little to no complaints, they do what needs to be accomplished. Others can be nice too but they may say a bit too much things, to the wrong person, at the wrong time. Or they can choose to be downright nasty, spoiling everything that you have worked hard for.
I speak up, i fight for my rights. Yeah, true. At the expense of others? No. Not cool.
I keep quiet, i want everyone to be happy. At the expense of yourself? No, not cool, that's borderline stupid.
You learn something new everyday, i learnt this today. 对敌人仁慈，就是对自己残忍. Simply put, you can be the nicest person out there, but not everyone will appreciate you and this very niceness could be your bloody downfall because people can, and will use it to your disadvantage.
Everyone deserves to be a bitch sometimes.
All in fair in love and war; yes, to a certain, minimal extent.
I don't ask for fairness, not in this society that we live in. All i ask for is a little sense.
Alas, this seems too much for some people to understand too.
