THICK SKIN

By Yolanda Mabanga

Being a part of a clique can be very frustrating.  There will be times where people are going to insinuate talks about you or hint something to others that will be pleasing to you.  The only way to overcome these situations is having thick skin and approaching them head on.  Doing this requires direct confrontation which has never been easy for anyone, doesnt matter how close that person is to you.  It is these confrontation that create bitterness between you and your friends at times which is what people avoid in the first place. 

Noone has ever suggested what a perfect friendship is like and for that reason quarrels are going to occur.  It take a set of mature folks to understand that there will be happy and bad times in a relationship and not everything is going to be fun and games.  I have had a fair share of arguments and cussing with my friends but we have all established that when we do it we do it out of love and nothing else.

Yes it could happen that people fall asleep angry but carrying a grudge till the next day has never been advisable.  Love gives any human being the ability to forgive and learn from your mistakes (as far as treating the next person is concerned).  It is all a matter of tolerance and it doesnt come easy.
