There was supposed to be a case. Now there are two. It all started in the forum, now it has gotten out of hand. Atty. S, has neglected her obligation to her client (D). She might have checked in on some nice resort or have wandered somewhere, we don't know. But she disappeared after receiving D's initial payment. It's over a year now and D's still struggling from the legalities of the matter. What was supposed to be D versus some people in a certain forum is now, D versus Atty. S. I was there from day one when people started throwing harsh words at her. People were judgmental. She felt her online reputation was threatened. She sought for justice. One then another. I left the country hoping both will be settled soon. I really wish(ed) it'd end soon because I have seen how affected she was (and her mom). It's draining their energy and money is being thrown out. But I was informed lately that it's gotten deeper. Legal proceedings are being held now. Both, unsettled as of this writing. Now I wonder, why did it end up on such case? Was it seeking help from the wrong person or was it seeking help for the wrong reason? Or should my question be, was it really necessary to seek for help? The other night, I had a hard time answering one simple question from a friend. I could have answered in a blink of an eye if the question was, "what do you like in a person?", but I was asked otherwise-- "what are your pet peeves?" I could share lots of not-so-good stories with not-so-good characters who's played some not-so-good roles in my life, but time held me back. If I keep a list of traits that people have used to hurt or make my life miserable for awhile, I could have answered quickly. But I don't. "Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful, or joyful," it's (one of) my mantra. To D: Get rid of destructive people. Get rid of those who would only hinder your growth. Spend time with happy people. Stay away from the bitter ones. They will only drag you down. Spend time with those who could inspire you, and the ones who appreciate you. No matter how life pushes you down, these people will pull you up. No matter how obscure things are, these people will make you feel good about yourself. Believe me, D. The world wide web is nothing but I will continue to pray for you and stand by you in this fight. But please, let go of the battle inside you because the hardest battle is fighting against yourself. Tens or maybe hundreds of people can say nice things about you (count me in). But that won't make a difference until you let go of your critics, D. Get rid of that one battle now else, iinom na lang natin yan (iced tea, you want?)! *wink* |
