It's back and it hit me hard once again. Does it ever hit you that you might me neglecting someone when you are busy with your own stuff? If that someone you are neglecting may not be that close to you, perhaps that's reasonable, and he or she may not feel that neglected as well. The problem comes in deep when the person you are neglecting is close to you. Have you ever thought that how much you will hurt that person? Perhaps by not answering him or her it may be okay. What if you decide to give answers such as 'lols' or 'haha' without even reading carefully what he or she is trying to tell you?
Imagine this. You tells someone close to you this, "I just fell down and i'm in great pain now!" And then the next moment, the reply you got from that someone is, "lols" or "haha". How would you feel? Do you feel like an idiot? Do you even have this tinge of feeling that he or she does not really bothers about you at all? What do 'lols' and 'haha' really means? It is so way commonly used now when whoever uses it doesn't know what to reply, and then conveniently used them to show an 'act of response' so that he or she will not be known as the 'daoster'. It's not that i'm totally against this, but too much usage of this makes the conversation seriously meaningless. The other party will feel like he or she is talking to himself or herself when you keep replying 'haha' or 'lols' every sentence.
The ultimate would be this. Someone tells you, "I am very depressed now... I feel like jumping off the building from where i am now." You are busy with your stuff and then you just reply a 'haha' or 'lols' after briefly reading through the message. Guess what happens next? You will find him or her lying in a pool of blood under that very place where he or she sent the last message to you. CONGRATULATIONS, YOU JUST KILLED SOMEONE!
Yes it is true that it may not be that serious a case sometimes, but how long does it takes to read the text properly and then perhaps say something like, "Sorry. I am busy with my work now. I'll get back to you later okay?" If he or she starts irritating you by saying no and then crapping, be my guest to ignore him or her, i support you on that. My point is this, at least be sure that your friend is alright before you leave him or her to fend for themselves alone. It wouldn't kill you to just read properly what he or she just said, would it?
Think twice before you say anything. No use regretting after that... the damage is already dealt.Words kill. =X
