She was looking at me and smiling
with a twinkle in her eyes! She was talking to me. I had come with exactly this
question to her today! I didn’t want to discuss in front of others and here she
was explaining it to me – unasked in front of all yet others being totally
unaware of the same.
Yes, I hated this colleague of
mine who was thrusting all his work on me and yet taking all the credit in
office. I felt like killing him too! I
felt as if the whole world was against me…I wanted to know why this was
happening and how to deal with him and here she was explaining just that………
Her voice brought me back to her
explanation “But the question is not ‘why she is like that?”. The more important question is “What are my
options and my choices in this situation?”
“But, why should I ask myself
such questions when she is wrong?” quizzed Priya with unsuppressed irritation. “I
want to just hurt her or better – kill her – that’s all! I don’t want all this
peace talk!” she concluded shaking with anger.
“Then go ahead and do it. Why come here and ask me?” my Guru replied.
Everyone was stunned. No one
expected her to say those words. No! she never talked of harming others and
here she was asking this mad girl and why even me to hurt or kill the person we
hated! How’s that possible? That was the question that numbed us to silence…
