The reliable test
>> Thursday, July 31, 2008
If there is one common thing which all the people I met possess, that would be their intention to retaliate when something against their opinion is blatantly spoken. I don't expect everyone to accept everything spoken against their idea of something. But, tolerance at even the smallest level is highly essential. After all, the whole nation is running on tolerance. I had a tough experience with one of my friends. It's very hard to bring her down on your point since she locks up herself all the time with her rules and philosophies. But, I managed to knock at her head after she hauled me over the coal which is her trademark activity. I guess I would never give in. But, I saw my efforts go down the drain when, in the end, she said 'Whatever. I believe what I told still sounds sensible’. Nobody would wish to receive such a reply when what is considered as the last best thing in this world happens. The issue we were discussing was more like calling black white. And that's exactly what she was doing, almost. It was very clear that she was wrong. But, to understand what was running in her mind, I had to throw few statements that made her word wrestle with me. And even now I won't renounce. You can read a mind at two instances. One, when it is completely broken down sentimentally. Two, when it's totally on fire. The second instance works perfectly regardless of the situation. You can be sure that whatever a person who is completely apprehensive or furious tells is nothing but pure truth. So, if you want to know the real being below the skin, just throw a spark at him/her at the appropriate situation and you'll have your test results. Now you would know where that person keeps you with respect to him/her!
