Never trifle someone, be always respectful.

Today´s my English day and everything possible I did and do, I do in English. So, hi there! Today I have spoken with a friend and she told me about some difficulties in her relationship. They had a discussion about his ideas. He wants to study geography because he thinks it would be a good addition to his current job, he is a special architect, I don´t know exactly and it doesn´t matter here. He has already ordered information, has read material from universitiy and obviously he loves to do it and prepare himself. She thinks that it´s not necessary and needless. She thinks what he´s doing is overdone (because he has already one academic grade) and there´s no need to do it. That is ok so far, it is her opinion and she can discuss it with him - perhaps it helps him to review it and to make sure that he is on the right way. But then she told me how she has discussed with him and that was notable. She called it a plan of a poser, for whom should it be important to have 2 academic studies than for a poser. She said that it would not be worth the time, etc. She was assessing his plans, she seemed to know and to decide if his plan to study was ok or not. I pricked up my ears because first I liked the discussion they had about it because I think in a relationship it is good to reflect the things the other one is doing. But her judges and behaviour were far too much. I became contemplative, I thought about situations in my life, do I judge as well? How tolerant am I, do I cherish the opinion of others, of my partner, my best friend, my son...? How do I behave when I don´t like their ideas, is my reaction fair or do I try to enforce my opinion (because I think I know it better...)??? I don´t know yet but I will watch myself because as I heard from my friend what she did, I was sure that I don´t want to do the same. Never.

  1. Hello miss feelgood! It would obviously be totally interesting what she did? If you´d never do that, it was bad? Or because i have mistranslated something, because my english is unfortunately not as good as yours. However, i think that in a relationship, people also have the right to do something that interests him, a line would naturally be super and of course it has to the relationship and the daily life conform to run. Then everything would be good, right? I wish a nice evening....
    I like your english days!
