Tasty things can be toasty at times... Like a sandwich...
A little difficult to understand without an example..
So here goes...
I'm sure you would have witnessed a person caught amid an argument between two dear ones.
Like a woman observes her husband and her kid.
"Mom, ask your husband not to talk in my matters" says the child
"You dare not take his side this time. I'm not going to tolerate this anymore" says the husband
You too may have been a part of this conflict sometime.
I have also been...
We would have been in our worlds, stubborn enough to even think about the others point of view. But that's not to be pondered upon. Attention should be given to that one person who's the most churned and hurt in such episodes every single time. It's tough to be an onlooker to the rift and even knotty is the state of dilemma where one has to make a choice. Dilemma and choice blend to be a good oxymoron and so is the condition of the person who is being forced to choose.
In the above example, the option is either the husband who's been with her through the major experiences of her life or the child who's nothing less than her life... Even a man could see himself in such a situation when his mother and wife are in conflict. It's like asking someone to chose between the footwear of both the feet. How can you let go one or pick up just one?
I may not be able to give an apt example at this stage but it is just as important for us to understand that it takes a number of years for us to make a life of our own. Asking anyone to make a choice between two stages of his / her life is indeed very unfair.
Being sandwiched is not at all joyful, so irrespective of the gender, we should all just let our dear ones decide whose side they want to go or whether they even want to take a stand. In the little meaningless conflicts, lets not lose the true Value of Relationships and of Life...
Cheers!
God Bless!!
