Too much drama in my life lately which I do not need.

It sucks to be perceived as the perpetual evil wrong-doer when all your remedial actions are deliberately misconstrued. Giving a person some space and time to cool off is perceived as nonchalance; to advocate live and let live means that you have no principles; pretending things never happened ( Read more... )

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

I think you hav thought this through in a very level-headed way but care too much about others for that sense to take effect. it must indeed be very tiring on you. it doesnt matter what others think la, as long as ur own conscience is clear about ur intentions behind ur actions, well... there's nothig u can do or explain to change what they think of you. all u can do is trust ur instincts to do what u feel u ave to do.

as for taking sides, i feel we are all adults la. jus so there is no mudslinging, offering encouragement to one friend doesnt mean betraying the other or taking sides. If either of ur frens think that way then the problem doesnt lie with you, it lies with them. this isnt secondary school lor! there isnt any black and white! people who need to believe in taking sides in this sense are really immature and inconsiderate to those stuck in between.

Think I haven’t been too clear when I wrote this entry. What stirred me was this overwhelming injustice over a friend who was blamed for another's selfish act, first the tears, then the accusations and deleting of LJ as the finale which leaves a lot of questions unanswered and things unaccounted for. This can be likened to one of the cons which you have so aptly stated in your latest entry.

I luv this quote and could not resist snitching it out of your LJ "being a witness to melodrama and despicable acts of people who use the cold safety of the internet as a comfort zone (whatever happened to having guts and taking the high road? dissing people over the internet and trying to get support for that is cowardly)"

But you are right on all counts, in my over-zealous urge to please, I may have lost sight of what really matters.

I guess a lot of what you're feeling is unnecessary. Like Titan Cross said, you are all adults and the wholetaking side accusation is simply too childish.

I believe you've a clear conscience so don't let other factors eat you up.

All this drama is making me quite fatigued.

"It sucks to be perceived as the perpetual evil wrong-doer when all your remedial actions are deliberately misconstrued. Giving a person some space and time to cool off is perceived as nonchalance; to advocate live and let live means that you have no principles; pretending things never happened and hopefully things blow over automatically labels you as plastic."

I cannot AGREE more! That leaves us with nowhere to go! We're cornered.

Just let people perceive us as they would like us to be. Frankly, I'm disppointed too. I do not want to make promises that I cannot keep.

If I can predict the future correctly, I'm sure I will be paid millions by anyu organistion who employs me. Sure, we can try to put in the best effort but unforeseen events do happen and I hope ppl understand.

I am so ashamed, to be so bugged by this kindergarten stuff at my age. Now, go do a tongue-in-cheek entry on AJ friendships. I never fail to have a good laugh over your word play.

I love whatever you wrote here. You have just recapitulated my whole thoughts.

I have had enough being put down in order for some to win sympathy votes. Sick. Bloody sick of it all! This is worst than Corby's ordeal. Finger pointing for no apparent reason. Believing only one side of the story and whatever not.

I will live by Jacelyn Tay's motto on dealing with false accusations and rumours-

If people want to be stupid, let them be stupid!,/strong>

I'm a little ashamed coz I have thrown all the advice I have given you about restraint to the winds. It takes A LOT to push my buttons and get me mad but enough is enough, and hence this entry.

I think you have acted graciously and admirably all this while and I'm glad to see your latest entries with no trace of the bitterness associated with this drama.
