In our lives, we meet different people in different situations.
There's the family members, good friends, certain colleagues, relatives, perhaps even business associates or acquiantances that we are close to. We obviously get along with these.
There's also those we associate with as part of life, the "hello goodbye" type of acquaintance, the colleagues, business associates, relatives, even some family members that we see occasionally, never think about, don't really care if something happens to them and the feeling is mutual.
There are those we associate with because we need them for some reason, or they need us for some reason, but we wouldn't if not for that reason. E.g. an asshole boss, asshole colleagues or schoolmates or campmates or relatives or neighbours. We might even make some enemies along the way, but once that reason for associating is gone, we go our seperate ways.
But out of all these assholes that we meet in the course of life, do you ever think that we may anger someone so much, that even after your reason for associating is gone and you go seperate ways, he comes back and gets you? Or that you go back and get him?
Let's say that you anger someone and he gets some life threatening disease. Do you ever think that he may at that time, come and get revenge, since he is going to die anyway?
I have thought about this, that's why in past confrontations, arguments or even fights with people, I try not to go to the limit. Will always hold back and say or do something conciliatory at the end, perhaps not sorry but at least a handshake or even an admission about my own fault. Some people may say this is cowardly, but I wouldn't want to be the first person he remembers, when he finds out that he is about to die.
Now I wonder whether those assholes in this world ever thought about that. That they might have angered someone so much that the fellow will come after them at a certain time, when he least expects it? Do they consider such things when they screw people around?
