A Maligned person

Juz ended 2 coversations which really left me wondering what kind of person i am. The former left me agonising and the latter made me articulate out my reasons to explain myself.





Like those 2 pictures above where i was seen agonising in pain. This is exactly how i feel RIGHT now. The person that i trusted most has accused me of something that i feel has totally no relation to what im doing.



The background: AA wants to go for a course in the states. An outdoor educator's course for 24 days. Will clash with school coz need to take leave. Met objection in school. So AA asked his most trusted person what to do.


So MTP told AA to re-evaluate himself.. saying that AA is prideful by trying to bypass ophir to climb everest. That mayb AA would appreciate it if he went when he's older.

Well.. What if AA gets ladened with more responsibilities in future? like settling down.. getting a family and stabilising career. You never know what may happen in life.. why shouldnt AA grasp the chance at hand to learn more?


I mean.. is learning a prideful thing? a friend asked AA why he's so worked up when MTP said he's prideful.. is that true then? AA's worked up because he was wrongfully accused. I mean what sense is there to say learning new skills is something negative just because the person is young now and may lead to the person being arrogant upon being equipped with the skills.

AA is someone that has met with BIG failures in life before. Friends can attest that he's not one
to boast around..


Thats the story about AA..


Back to me.. I feel quite sad for AA.. I mean this thought never surfaced to him about showboating his latest rock-climbing skills and all upon completion of the course. I didnt know that wanting to upgrade one's skills in a specific area would draw so much flak. He told AA that AA might take it for a leisure trip and that the value of the course may not be felt as greatly as a middle-aged participant.


That i truely agree. a 40 yr old would definitely have more things to draw on upon reflection than a 21 yr old. But does that mean to say the 21 yr old is undeserving to attend the course?
Can one say for sure that if he passes a chance in his/her life now will certainly get the same exact opportunity a few years later?


Circumstances and situations change.. im sure AA wont want to live with regrets.. but right now i think he really needs to sort his thoughts out.. think i'll go give him a hand.
