Bummer Days-1

I'm not taiz by nature, and a lot of the world is.

There, I said it!

Lemme give an example, when there's a bunch of students and myself, waiting to get onto the pu bus.. I'm usually the one who gets pushed around. I might have been standing somewhere waaaaaaay infront, but thanks to everyone around me pushing to make way for themselves, I'm almost always the last to get up the bus. And that rule holds for any line. Like in a shop, getting out of a place... I dunno, I think it's polite to give  way, and to wait. Why the rush? We're all going to make it aren't we? Why the rudeness?

Anyway, this rule of mine sort of defines how I've dealt with all the other things in my life. 

And (well uptil now) I've been so proud of that! 

In wanting to achieve my life's ambitions, I've never elbowed people out. I've waited and given them space. Contrary, to most students, I haven't fretted about how well someone else is doing. I've wanted the best for myself, naturally, but that desire never turned into leg-pulling or down playing other people. I always had (and still have) this indestructible belief that, God WILL reward you, for playing things clean. That leg-pulling someone now, would have fate leg-pull you in the future.

Don't think bad or harm others in whatever you pursue, and you'll succeed.


Yeah stay simple. Saadhay.

When med school started, the thing that bothered me the most was its survival of the fittest atmos. That you had to be sharp, aware, well-informed, competitive if you wanted to survive. Trust me, the shrewdness of some people here, literally scared me. Geeeeez I wasn't like them! LOLz, I remember flunking my first physio oral, cause I had no idea that we were having one! Anyway, I made some loyal friends, and things worked out :D

The e.v.e.n.t.s. that happened recently, have made me realize, I mean really realize that yes people can be very taiz and selfish to the point of elbowing other people out and crushing their rights. That there are people who think it's ok to do whatever, to get what they want for themselves. That they can turn you into sheesh kabab and have no regret.

It was this realisation that made yesterday, and a few days before, total bummers.
It hurt. It really did.
When it happened a few days before, confused, I told my friends that it would be best to ignore. 

But then, this certain someone did it again.  

Ouch. shock. hurt.

'You've got to make a stand for your right, because you deserve this more than any one,' Zuzu said to me today. And now, hit twice, I think Zuzu's right. 

I'm out of my thinking-limbo: It's time to take a clear stand.

“You fight for your rights when your rights are being denied. When the building is on fire, you don't stand by and let the building burn down and say we'll fight the fire another day.”

It's time to believe.
