flowers



I reckon 
A few months back when i was still working my arse off in the holidays

A colleague of mine once did this:

She came to me and said this after she went to the toilet 

"Eve, I saw a bouquet of nice flowers at the flower shop, feel like buying for myself."

I was taken aback 
No rationale person will buy flowers out of the blue herself 

It is only now that i have realize why she felt that way... 


Here's the story 
She had a fiance
she was about to get married end of the year
the sad thing was 
she found out one night
her other half two timed her 
ouch! 
Yes its a very hard situation for her 
but she got over it clam and strong
I always admire her for being able to do this 

Then she thought there was this new guy again in her life 
She was at the stage ready to accept his affections
later did she realize 
he was married to
and this new guy has a wife back in his home town 
Double ouch!! 

it is no wonder why she feel so sad,
at this point in time
i think a bouquet of flowers could really made her day 
and i guess she had no one else to rely on understanding this two set backs
Even after hearing her stories 
I cannot fig out there was a link to the flowers 
So i guess tats why she wanted to do it for herself 

i wonder why does guys act or behave this way 
i guess its not just guys 
i have met situations where girls leave after years of relationship 
two years back
my dad too 2 timed 

richard was saying - 

"sometimes u will just do the wrong thing, but if the other half realize he or she was wrong 
than just forgive and forget"
 
to me it doesnt work tat way

if anyone learnt game theory in economics 
general behavior will be as follows
(prisoner's dilemma)
if both parties trust each other and co-operate they will be better off in the long run 
but if one parties default 
it will result in the other party defaulting as well in the long run 
sth like tat 
chim i noe 

So i dun really agree with what richard say 
if one has defaulted in the trust 
it can be very hard to trust back again 
my colleague has been defaulted twice 
it is no wonder she feels this way 

and i do agree with her 
perhaps getting a bouquet of flower for herself to cheer herself up is the best way 
i feel guilty for not realizing it den 

Although Now i m not in her shoes 
but just in fear tat this default may come true soon

And when i looked at these flowers 
it did made me feel a little better 
maybe i should drive down to the florist near my house later
and cheer myself up

its time to learn to be more independent and strong 

eve out
