Short-lived

A lot of things are just a thought away. Words are just words. Sometimes even meaningless but a person who is emotionally charged, can take it very wrong. And it becomes worse when two such persons come together. 'Cause when one party takes it wrongly, it can escalate to a situation where there is no way to make amends. But the fact is, none of them wants it that way.

Happiness and anger can both be so short-lived when it pivots on just one thought. One can think it but not act it. Sadly but true, many are unable to do so. I too am guilty of such an act. But i guess if one holds that thought and consider about the words that are to be said, one might just find that there is no need to get angry or upset over a few words. They're just words. It's up to the receipient to decipher the meaning and add emotions to it.

Others might view such an act as being detached. But what so bad about being emotionally detached? At least one will not get hurt so easily and others might not be able to hurt you as easily as well. There's always two sides to a coin. It all depends on how you look at it. Just like a half glass of water. Whether or not it is half filled or half empty all depends on how one look at it.
