It’s scary how fate has it that the jigsaw puzzle pieces in life will fit in somehow…
I was scolded “dog blood dripping” by this driver over the phone 2 months back. It was the type of scolding which got one all frustrated, because there was nothing one could reply as there was no logic in his words. I felt like strangling someone after that.
However, I remembered this paragraph from a book TE gave me. It said not to sweat the small stuff, because it wasn’t worthed it, and how I don’t need to be the person to mete out the retribution.
So, the next day, someone from another department came down and looked for me. Apparently, they had returned call to the driver regarding the same issue and he had admitted being very harsh with me. The lady came down to asked me about the call and explained that the driver was just shocked over the money issues, thus the insolence. I didn’t think much about the whole incident and thought that was the end of the issue.
As you might have guessed, no… Today, I found out that he had made a scene at the top management. He had been unreasonable and was threatening them. Now, the company is considering taking disciplinary action against him. (Please don’t make any conclusions about the company just based on this, because I’ve omitted other irrelevant details.)
There was a brief victorious feeling for 5s. The feeling was quickly replaced by the enlightenment that we would all face retribution eventually. It was a cynical feeling.
Unfortunately, I have yet to receive enlightenment on positive returns.
