rezil kadin!!!

bu aksam garip bir sey oldu. uskudar'dan dolmusa bindim. to my surprise there was an empty seat. oturdum, kitabimi okumaya basladim. then a mother and son got on the dolmus. the mother was about 60 and the son 25. as soon as they got on, the woman stood next to me and leaned against me with all her bodyweight. en az 130 kiloydu! she was so heavy that i could not move my arm. she kept on pushing and she did that on purpose. i closed my book but could not put it back in my bag as i had no place to move. i got angry but said nothing. they would obviously get off in harem. and they did. but the moment they were getting off, the son turned to me and said "hey lady, it's no use reading the book. you are not human. this 80-year-old woman stood next to you and you did not give her your seat." i did not reply. i just smiled with a meaningless face. then he yelled at me "rezil kadin!" he said "rezil" but read it as "bitch"!

i was very much tired after a really busy day at work
i was carrying a heavy backpack
my back has been hurting bad for the last couple of days
yine de i could have given her my seat ..... if only she had not pushed me!

that was the story and now the lessons to be learned:
1. let's not judge others. i could have been lame, pregnant, very sick or i could have even had cancer. who could ever know?
2. let's communicate. we keep on trying to force our opinions on others but we're not using words. we're pushing or pulling or killing or burning or destroying. but we have the ability to communicate with words, feelings, energies!

body language is great but only when you're flirting!

Ahh...how we judge, without knowing what is judgement...

All the older lady had to do was ask - her assumptions become her own prison, and her son's anger, and more bitterness in the air for the rest of us...

You remained stoic...

you've always been empathetic dear kingsley, thank you!
but objection sire! no, i was not stoic, nor have i ever been. if i had been so, i wouldn't have written the "garip sey" down here. i'm not that good. some friends call me "angel" but i call myself "traitor" to my face.
