Much to our dread, there are days when nothing right goes our way. All of us have shitty days (see Megatron above). We trip for no apparent reason, forget to push the right floor button on the elevator to work, suddenly run out of cellphone credits or battery, accidentally pour cold or lukewarm water from a broken dispenser on your cup of instant ramen, send kinky texts/emails to our bosses originally intended for a hubby (lapit na me, ligo na u/me close so shower now), or accidentally sneeze on a girls face while having a romantic dinner.
When the heavens (or hells) conspire against us, we could only wish that people would be kinder. However, this is not usually the case. Somehow people relish in others’ misfortune. A few friends would be more sympathetic but generally people take the chance to rub salt on wounds, as it were, simply because it is easy and that it requires very little effort on their part. And, oh, some perverse pleasure too.
So the next time someone gets their share of misfortune, be more understanding. Some kindness really goes a long way. If not, you may find yourself on the other end of a terrible vengeful rampage, or, in Starscream’s case (see above), a good beating after each episode.
