A big THANKS to those who understand

Recently i was in another one of my contemplative moods, brooding over some silly incident with a friend of mine, when i thought....

"If only men (and women...oh yes!) worked like walkie-talkies!"...as in, if men were unable to speak whilst being spoken to, half the quarrels and fights of the world wouldnt have occured. I guess Pride, Jealousy, Prejudice, Arrogance...all these human traits that are so deeply ingrained in any human...just prevent man from calmly listening to someone else's point of view before hammering his own point home.

Why do we have this inate desire to prove ourselves right!?....I have been in contact with such people in my life that at times i felt it impossible to explain a situation to them. These people are so deeply absorbed by the quicksand of pride that they just fail to accept that they may be wrong!!...but then what makes me so sure that i was right in the first place!?...maybe i am no better myself...heck, i AM no better.

All i know is it is good to have friends that you dont have to explain yourself to, they understand, they hang around for you to explain, and even if you dont, they forgive...i am lucky i have a few of those...
