Offensive? or just offended?
APA KHABAR DUNIA?!
A chat with a pal yesterday evening after a tutorial presentation got me thinking about *point upward again* (yeap) the offended and the offensive lots. Therefore, she also inspired me to write up something to post about(what a bum I am! dangaroonie!). Just before that chat, i read about Kenny’s misfortunate encounter or as so mentioned by most of his commentators and i could lightly draw a conclusion that there are more people out there tend to be the former lot. Only a minimal number of people would be as bold as horrid or as aggresive to be the offensive bunch, no?
Most unfortunately, the offended lots usually blench away and not speak up to the offensive ones about their unsatisfactory or their irritation or what-not… hmm… or not even at least “try” to tell the offender about the offensive remarks s/he has thrown upon. To make matters look more pathetic, most of these dumbtards happen to be the complainees who keep whining, never share their opinions when they’re unhappy and by the end of the fuckin’ day, they would just follow suit and keep their complaints for gossips in the busses, cafes or mamak, which, i think they must have thought their statements somehow would have propagate to the person who’d insulted them inside out. In short, if there’s any better advice to the tofu-hearted-dolls, it will simply be, “get a life.”
No, that piece of tip is not a mock of some blonde head mugging some geek-freak.
An incident to recall: Cherry* was known to be a gossip-monger back in her schooldays and she’s got rather perturbed annoyingly when she was being merely stared at and right after that she heard her name and some giggles after. Need I say more? Clearly, she was offended and she got uneasy about that, ay? Woot! And I think she’s got the taste of her own elixir, hasn’t she? So if you (yes, you, my most humble avid reader) happen to be some most-updated-gossip-monger around, be sure you can accept the trash back when people go bitching about you, whether for real or they were just randomly pointing or giggling at your direction. We have always believe in balance in this world, haven’t we? So if there’s a trash out, surely there’s to be trash in at some point? And if you simply can’t accept somebody’s bitching bout you, what makes you think the other person can accept your propagating nonsense?
Someone* asked me once, “I hope you don’t get offended if i get too direct in what i say?”
I simply replied, “My dear, if i can be more offensive at times when i am oozing with sarcasm, I can only be less offended at any other time.” Needless to say, it comes from me, and people who’ve known me well for ages know also that i can make dark jokes as well as taking the silliest.
*Names are replaced so that this post do not literally offend the real person in real life. (aiseh! not so gua-chiong also la!)
tofu-hearted-dolls from the dictionary of Pharmee Peikz, means people who are really soft at heart, thus getting easily disturbed and offended, but still able pull a good face in front of the bully or the person who had offended or annoyed them. Comprende?
Haha… The siblings seem to have a hard time with all the critics.
