Something happened at work today and Im not getting into the details of that here.
All these years, I always preferred to avoid conflict and retaliation. Internally, I justified this to myself as not stooping down to the other person's level. As a result, the other person always mistakes it for being meek. Unfortunately, it projects, I was just getting trampled on.
Well not anymore, I have now adopted a policy I use sparingly. Some people only understand things only when they are given a dose of their own medicine. Until then nothing works. And Im giving it back to them. The results are quite visible and fast.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth also follows the Newton's third law of an opposite and equal reaction. Tit for tat provides a balanced approach as per Game Theory too, a strategy that is optimistic, proactive and forgiving without being weak in its responses. It is proven, logical and effective.
Most of all, it's the type of person I try to be.
That's nice to hear :)
ReplyDeleteI am in sooo jolly mood today that...these tit for tat issues will not allow me to think deeply into this topic. Sorry for not attempting to take the write seriously.
ReplyDeleteBut as I think now...
How about an eye-glass for the eyes...and some toothpaste for the tooth...???
:P
