A woman was traveling in a bus. An angry young woman climbed up and sat next to the first woman at the next stop. The angry young woman hurt several times the first woman with her bag. When she saw that the lady was silent, the second woman finally asked her why did she not complain when she hit her with her purse? The first woman smilingly replied: “There is no need to be rude or discuss such a trivial thing because my journey with you is too short; I am getting down at the next stop.” This answer deserves to be written in golden letters: “There is no need to get upset over such a trivial matter because our journey together is too short.” Each of us must understand that our time in this world is so short that it is a ridiculous waste of time and energy to indulge in useless arguments, jealousy, not forgiving others, dissatisfaction, and a bad attitude.
