Body Aging but is the Mind Still in Child's State?
For some people, some adults to be exact, the title of this blog suit them to a "T" for some very obvious reasons.
To elaborate on this, I shall state one of my own real-life example which happened to me not to long ago when I was doing my part-time studies and another incident which was the link to this issue too to further illustrate on this matter and to further strengthen and prove this point too.
Was in one lesson around 2-3 weeks ago and, my group of friends and me were having a slight joke which erupted into laughter from us. Well, who doesn't have moments of this kind of fun in class at times to keep yourself awake and wanting to go to school as it is really one of the main reasons why students all over the world generally like to go to school: to have fun with friends on top of pursuing an education.
Back to the main point. There was this guy who was irritated with us and came to tell us off. During break time, he walked past us and used vulgarities on one of my female friends. Seeing that was not the right thing to do to a lady, I wanted to confront him but was stopped in my tracks by another female friend.
So, I did the next best thing and told his female friend to tell him that it was not the right thing to do and apologised to her if we did make noise which irriated them.
After class, the guy came to find trouble with me and asked me to go to the stair landing to talk about "reason". Well, I obliged him and there, I apologised to him regarding the whole issue and for any matter or any word which I might have said which upsetted him.
For him, he had to apologise only and ONLY when I told him about his wrongdoings. What a guy man!! Wanting to show off but then in the end, he was made a mouse in front of me with my reasoning skills.
Sensing that all he wanted to do was to provoke me into getting into a tussle or to use my fists on him which was quite a childish thing to do at this age, after spending a good 20 minutes with that guy, I just told him off that he was just trying to make a mountain out of a molehill and left the scene, with him spewing off some more vulgarities and running down the flight of stairs at the same moment I left.
Saw him in the same bus on my way home from class yesterday and realised that he was from the same secondary school as me previously and was my senior too as he knew one of my friends who is my senior.
Walked up to him and tapped him gently on his shoulders, telling him no hard feelings and extended my hand in the hope of shaking hands and gaining a new friendship but his next action really shocked me. He just turned around and shouted, "FUCK OFF!"
Wow!! For someone who is going to be 26 years of age this year and still behaving as such really speaks volume of his behaviour and his character and personality as a person.
This is the real-life example from my life recently which shows how someone who really can be older in the years but still the mind is still stuck in the primitive age of being a young teenager who thinks that provoking another into a fight and spewing off vulgarities as and when he sees fit to show that he has "matured", come of age, responsible for his actions.
Though this incident really pissed me off but at the end of the day, I just find that confronting him back or doing something else like what one of my good friends suggested, just serves me no value-add to any aspect of my life except to practise my patience and tolerance to a higher level.
Let's wish that guy well in his future and may he one day come to his senses too as he is afterall, my friend's friend and we once shared the same school campus for our formative years in our life from a tween to a teen.
