When a stone is thrown at you, what do you do?
Can you catch it? Nice reflexes. A sore hand to nurse after though.
Do you throw back at the culprit then? Too violent.
Do you stay put and keep silent? Then, I hope your embraced pacifism save you from getting a sore in the head when the stone hits.
Or would you defy your vengeful nature, cut lose from your vehemence and follow what God has written for you. To throw a piece of bread back without withheld grudge. Really now? Will you be able to live with yourself knowing the fact you just have been cursed. Your reputation befouled and response is a pious blessing. Easier said and done, that is.
Oscar Wilde, a 19th Century Irish writer, wrote one of the wittiest remarks on how to deal with one's enemies. Weird it may sound, he says, "Always forgive your enemies, nothing annoys them much more." You think li'l about and whoa... that made a lot of sense with a smile on your face. Ironic to do yet the result is spitefully gratifying. But be wary as well. Enraging an already enraged enemy may be hazardous to your well being. Let's only hope the Laws of Physics was defied the moment your enemy pitches a few more fist-sized boulders on you. Blunt trauma is particularly tricky to manage. How much more with Multiple blunt traumas. Hell, you could end up passing out. A case of brain herniation in progress because your ICP went up 2° to the hematoma you just received. IMAGINE??? (Eugene Domingo-like)
But I'll be careful with that gold. Valuable it may prove to be, scientifically, gold weighs more than ordinary stone. And if it hits, it causes at least twice the damage. ouch!
And if I was going to ask myself, what I'd do when someone threw me a stone or gold for that matter? Well, that's easy. First things first for me... I'LL HEAD FOR COVER.
This is just a random post designed to make those brain clockworks tick a little. Ciao!!! 8-P
