All That Jazz...

Recently, after a very blown-out-of-proportions fight with friends, I felt immense regret at almost all of my actions. However, the one piece of good that came out of the fight was a lesson, one to remember. It taught me that sometimes in life, you should stop for a moment and feel. Try to understand what's going on without caring about it. Listen to what is being said and see what is being done. Not reacting immediately is part of the lesson. Wait for the right moment, if the moment should present itself at all. Learn to face the consequences of whatever's done without having any any anger or regrets. Learn to believe in not just yourself, but others as well. If you dismiss them now and they turn out to be right later, that's a decision you will not be able to live with. Consider, every now and then, that you are the fool and not them. That you could be wrong and not them. That you can make mistakes, even if they don't look mistakes. Learn to argue not with others, but yourself. Learn to accept - and finally learn to move on. That fight taught me all this - all in one lesson. Worth it, then, wasn't it ?
