No matter how patient a person is, he/ she still has a certain limit of how much they can take – once this is surpassed, there will be no turning back.
I consider myself to be extremely tolerant to this one particular person all these while and today I felt as if my patience has been stretched to the max. Here I am, asking myself the same questions that I have asked myself so many times before:
Will this be the last time?
If not, can I continue to live with this?
But the most important question of all is of course this: Do I want to accept this as part and parcel of my so-called life?
After all, life is all about making choices, which reminds me of this phrase that a friend once shared with me “Choose what you like, like what you choose”.
I think I know the world will be a better place if people can just put themselves in other people’s shoes for awhile and consider others’ feelings before they act on anything.
“God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things that should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.” – The Serenity Prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr
Happy new year,
