*Get my drift?*

In life, we need to look and listen, not just with our eyes and ears, but also with our heart and a clear mind. And sometimes, it is important to make the first move or initiate something because we cannot take for granted that other people will always give way to us. We have to make way for them too. We have to accommodate them too.

There will be moments when our patience will be sorely tested and yes, even though other people behave erratically and idiotically, we have to swallow our pride and close our eyes and let them have their moments of folly. Not all the time, but sometimes. At the times when we know that they can't help being so. At the times when we know that they're going through something that we ourselves are not. How can we merely tell them to think rationally when they are in those moments? How can we expect them to be rational and change themselves in moments of folly?

We cannot be the ones to end up leaving when we are the ones who are rational to begin with.
