It's Just Impossible (April 05, 2009)

Understanding others had been a struggle for many because of man's complications. One person is simply not the same as the one beside him or her. Each and every one has their own uniqueness and whims so that we either make friends or enemies.

In work, we seems to be doing good until a colleague starts talking bad. In school, we seems to be doing partnerships with our classmates until the group started to drift. In social situations, one can always feel that cracks have started to show up thus the unexpected fall.

I have been working in my school for nearly six years now and still cannot comprehend the actuations of a colleague. We had our moments of bouts, ready to explode if left unattended. Our morning meets are always tense. Exchange of greetings are usually not reciprocated. I am either unheard of, non-existent or being given a cold shoulder. I was told that this colleague of mine is moody, ever-changing and has a world of her own but I cannot buy them. By not believing I end meeting the person everyday with no exchanges or cordial greetings. We exist like ghosts staying in corners not to spook but to be left unnoticed.

I find going to school tedious not because of my students, I love them so much, but because of the few occasions I cross path with my colleague. No amount of generous talking have mend our relationship as workers. It is trying to be genial with fake smiles that keeps us together. Though I wanted to be in a place where I can be friends with everyone, it is not feasible as personalities are so complicated we can always find someone who will dislike us.

The head of the school knows about this and other colleagues as well. They are treated the same way. I just wish that all our concerned talks with that fellow colleague will make her change her ways, one of these days.
