The Bitch Feuds We Like/Hate
The poles must be inverted cuz there's definitely something not right - friends have turned to foes, lovers transmuted to haters, Australia is in the World Cup, Izyan can't stop mentioning 'pink' & I'm listening to Nick Lachey (Gawd!). The point is, things take their turns without us expecting them.
One day it's this, the next day it's that.
One time your pal's cool with you, the next she's trashing you behind your back.
Now I'm not saying this is a current personal experience, no no. Anyone can trash me anytime they want, it's not like I give a damn, cuz I know if they're intending to put me down, they're just wasting their time. I mean, if you wanna trash someone, make sure the person actually gives a fuck about it ok? Bitching about without anyone heeding you is plain pathetic. It's like farting in the elevator and not being acknowledged for - what a heartbreak.
Now I'm not targetting this specifically at anyone for any matter...there are too many of you friends of mine who are entangled in non direct-contact brawls amongst yourselves, so even if I bring this subject up, you wouldn't know which ones I'm aiming my sniper at - so consider this a general shout out.
For one, to err is human & to forgive is divine (See 2004 a.k.a. the best English teacher alive).
So if a friend of yours screwed you (not literally screwing, aight?), he/she's just being human. Everyone makes mistakes. If you don't tell them they're screwing you up, they'd keep screwing you & that'd be you asking for your own shit to clean up.
And if you're the culprit who's screwing your friend up, and you KNOW you've screwed up, don't be afraid to apologize. It may cost you your ego, but it'd make you look most providential & divine in the eyes of others.
As for the other side, for God's sakes, when someone apologizes, please forgive. The poor lad has stripped him/herself out from his/her ego to seek forgiveness, so don't crush his/her hopes. Sorry to say, but you non-forgivers are illustrating an ugly image of Islam (yes, my friends who refuse to forgive are Muslims). Please don't convey the idea that our religion doesn't preach forgiveness cuz it does - how does 234 citations on forgiveness, 79 on mercy & 50 on peace in the Quran sound? Muhammad (peace be upon him) even forgave the very people who threatened his LIFE, and now you people can't forgive a friend who hasn't even come close to touching your donkey? It is not even a point of them killing you!
The least you can do is to either forgive OR tell the world you're a Muslim who refuses to follow that ONE religious teaching on forgiveness. Don't make the rest of the community suffer the consequences of your own obstinance.
By far, I've come across 4 incidents of this friend-against-friend crises. And frankly, it's not that I wanna nag like a mom or nythin' (tho I'd love to be the mom to Brandon's children. Nyahaks!), but it hurts to see 2 individuals, both relevantly close friends of yours to be in bad terms, alrite? What's worse is having one to apologize and not being accepted by the other. And you can't take sides because it'd just further insult the injury...yet, the responsibilities of being a friend, social citizen & religion pursuer drag you the otherway.
And to prevent myself from going up to both parties and start a 'peace-making-gone-disastrous' situation:
*
N: Be good you bitches/sonnuvabitches! This ain't how we're goin down, dawgs! You feel me?
X: Get yo punkass out of our business, bitch! Nobody hollerin' you in our business! So you groovin' or you scrammin'?
*
Ok, that's roughly the scene I had in mind - with a touch of smooth Black attitude. Gawd, their style's hot. Now you know why I'm hooked to Prison Break. "Yo get your punkass outta here!" Nyahaks. So cool.
Ok, seriously now...hold up, what was it again? Right.
Dear friends, please be at peace! Learn to for-freakin'-give! You may have other friends (who are stupid enough to on-go the situation instead of plugging it) to support you; to stab your ass like devils, conniving you to carry on the battle - hell, you may have already formed one whole lame squad of the Power Rangers to help you fight against your nemesis, but please freakin' bear in mind, you, your contender & your Power Rangers squad aren't the only parasites sucking the life out of this place called earth. Your doings have effects on others as well. So put into con-freakin'-sideration about the consequences your actions may have on 3rd parties. You may be enjoying every last drop of your ego's desires in putting your 'hated one' down, but freakin' radio yourself, your Royal Selfishness, there are us by-standers who are suffering the aftermath too!
So maybe some jokers enjoy gossiping about your flaming argument...but for the rest of us who have the brains to know what's right & what's not, want you to settle things out. Pronto!
If you still refuse to settle 'em, then DON'T MAKE IT PUB-Freakin'-LIC! Announcing your refusal to forgive publicly & go on ranting about the other side only makes you look more pathetic than pathetic itself.
So take this call & clean up all your shit you left along the trail. We ain't stepping on nor sniffing any of them no matter how rosy they smell.
And if you still refuse to forgive, hell, you go on ranting & complaining how pissed your balls (or cunt for that matter) are at this blog, sure, go on. It's your problem anyways, ainnit? As how most stereotypes like to put it, "It's my life!etc".
Oh, stuff it. Don't make that phrase look like the only English phrase you know.
Bottomline is, consider this an advise from me - a friend who begs for some peace. Enough with the Palestinians having to live through hardship - you don't have to 'smartass-ly' make a new agenda of your own. I know you lack attention and you're dying to earn some.
However, this is just some stupid blog nobody can give a shit about. It's entirely up to you to decide whether to forgive or not, the latter signifying what happens starting here is entirely between you & God. Whatever He tells you, don't say I didn't warn you.
