Things that look simple but BIG

Assalamualaikum. Yes, there are times when we feel like that. "Just quietly hating" someone or something. Especially if you're a coward like me. Why coward? Because I can never show someone I hate what they're doing. Because I have this heart that are just so damn soft. So soft that an intolerable hatred or anger I feel can disappear in matter of seconds just by seeing that person's face. It's happened to me countless times.

Can't say I hate this particular trait of mine. If anything, I feel glad. Because I know, no matter how bad I think I am, at least I would never shout to someone else. I'll try the best I could not to offend someone. Say thank you where necessary. And smile to even strangers. Because I'm just like that.

And likewise, when I do something good, I don't expect anything much, just some recognition. Like if I hold the door for someone, or help move something out of someone's way, etc...

I do get that sometimes, and feel so happy. Other times, people don't bother. And just like that, when someone offend me, I would like him or her to apologise. No, I'm not being cocky or proud. But let me explain. They say that negative feelings can be contagious. And I agree. Have you ever seen you friends pulling a face on you because of some reasons that you don't even know? Yes. How do you feel? You feel bad either. 

So when you feel bad, you tend to think about nasty stuff. Or worse, actually saying those nasty stuff out loud. Tak pasal2 buat dosa kering kan. Tetiba keluar BM haha. Sebab aku tak tahu dosa kering dalam BI apa. Dry sin??? -_-"

Anyhoo, my point is, if that someone who hurts your feelings actually say something or do something to show he or she is sorry, then maybe you can keep all those nasty things from coming out of your mouth. 

For example, yesterday, while I was out with my mom, there was this car that switched to our lane at the last minute. Good thing my mom was quick to hit the brakes. We were both about to...yes - say nasty things, when all of a sudden, the guy literally opened his door, and waved at us with an awkward smile. Obviously feeling apologetic by what he had just did. And both of us automatically stopped saying anything else bad. Instead we said, "nasib baik dia lambai, kalau tak dah kutuk tadi." :P

See what I mean? His gesture was simple; he didn't even need to say "I'm sorry." But a simple gesture could avoid such big things. That, ladies and gentlemen, is my point. ^^

So next time, when you feel bad about something just smile. And if you think you did something bad, apologise. You have nothing to lose. 

P/s: No, he didn't open his door while he was driving. We stopped at a traffic light. -_-"
