Today is Valentine's Day, this morning around 7am, as I was taking my gf and her bf to the bus station, she asked me, "U never celebrate Valentine's Day ah?" I said no...I told her everyday is valentine for me... I wanted to add more to that when she interrupted and said, no, today is especially special, today we can go for candlelight dinner with our love ones, u cant be going for candlelight dinners everyday, do u?" That stumped me and instead of retaliating, I just changed the topic...thank goodness, the destination was within distance and we never elaborate on this 'valentine dinners'.
Alright, today is valentine, so ??? Yeah, maybe we wish that we could receive some flowers from our white knight in white horse, or maybe we get an invitation to a candle light dinner tonite.....haha.... all these are wishes and thoughts.... sometimes we should think first before we actually ask a sensitive question such as the above, it might make a person feel left out or dampen her day.... What I have learn from this early morning conversation is that, no matter who we are with, we must think of the other person's feelings before we utter our comments that might hurt her or even make her feel out of place....Think for the other person, not just ourselves.... I must bear this in mind, we must feel for the other person as well......feel...feel.....
Hey, just a minute ago, my office operator called me to wish me Happy Valentine.... Isnt that thoughtful of her?? Now, this is different, calling yr frens to wish them is great, dont ask how one celebrates esp those who are really single, just wishing one another is a fantastic gesture already, it shows we still remember them ...Ok, I better stop here cos I want to call up my faithful frens to wish all of them .....................................
True. Sometimes people hurt one another unintentionally.
