understanding: a state of cooperative or mutually tolerent relations between people
the key word here is ‘tolerent’. because even the most patient man can erupt. when people around me ask me to be understanding, i will nod and think to myself, “u are right. i should be understanding..”
i am a nurse. if a person were to be understanding, it would be a nurse.. i’ve learnt all about compassion, i’ve learnt all about understanding, i’ve learnt all about caring.. and why is it that i cannot apply this on this situation..?
i am not weak. through all this life ordeals, i can say to myself: i am not weak. so why am i being affected by this after so long.
if i am weak, i would have broken down long ago.
i keep reminding myself that since im living under someone’s else roof, i should endure all this. and that is why all this while i did not rebuke..
i know she is sick. i should understand that she is sick. but my nursing lesson taught me that if u are sick u should seek treatment. why are you in a denial stage. u are sick. seek treatment.
