all in a day's work

nothing comes closer to being a rude person than back-stabbing. yes. why? being rude is always done outrightly in your face but backstabbing is something that comes behind like the swift and poisonous dart of an assassin. you will feel the pain immediately, but it would take longer for you to know what hits you. damages are wrought, the cause is yet to be unearthed.

well, organizations harbor a lot of assassins within. you cannot do away with them. enduring their uncanny methods is something that is hard to master and muster. sorry for the pun. however, here the strength of your character is most tested. either you retaliate or make a delayed evasive reaction. the common path is retaliate, under the pretext of justice but that would be fighting fire with fire. i would rather take the path that Martin Luther king Jr took. a path of non-retaliation and forgiveness. for in the end, in this kind of battle, the loser is the one who hit first and the victor remains the one who stood his ground in silence and mercy till the end. the person who hit him suffered the mockery of history, king died as a martyr and changed the course of American history forever. i want that.
