Observation - 7th March

I notice people nowadays are overreacting to unintentional remarks. Ie. A is rushing off to somewhere and B comes along to ask something which requires proper explanation. A made a brash and blunt remark, as time does not permit him to be all-long-winded. B ends up feeling hurt because A had acted in a very rude manner.

Under such circumstances, I don't think it's fair to put the whole blame on B. Neither on A too. B should have realised that A is rushing off somewhere, and that the remark was unintentional. A should have instead stop B in her steps and tell B that "I would talk to you later".

What I don't understand is why are we taking things to the extreme? There should always be room / margin for error. What happen to the word "Benefit of Doubt"?! Don't they realize that humans are imperfect? Everybody has a temper, they have their good and bad days, they have their own faults.. is it wrong that it gets out in public sometimes?

No wonder public outbursts are so common nowadays. Setting exacting standards on oneself is good. But, it's improper to impose such exacting standards on others too.

*Sigh*
