Just before you jam that door

Sure you’ve heard people say ‘the world is a small place’. I bet this phrase does not mean as much as it means to a lady I met recently…
Having waited 5 straight weeks to see a gynecologist, she finally got an appointment for a Friday morning which meant skipping work for that day, but she did not mind, after all, her health was more important that the work. For no reason, she had a feeling this guy had all it takes to proffer solution to the health problem she had been wrestling with for 5years of her marriage or was it what she had her about this particular gynecologist that makes her so reassured . . . whichever one it was, she was grateful she finally got the appointment for that day. Her thoughts were interrupted when a nurse called her name as the next patient.
What happened on entering the consulting room was better imagined than experienced. She was standing right in front of a former suitor! It was not the fact that her one time suitor was the long awaited gynecologist alone that made her weakened her, fresh memories of her last encounter with him made her highly uncomfortable. As they steered at each other in surprise each not knowing what to say to the other, she remembered clearly how she embarrassed him publicly and deliberately too among her friends, her friends didn’t like him and there was another guy in the picture…the only way to get rid of him was to hurt his ego… Now she regretted every insulting word she said that day as if that was not enough, he tried to make up with her in tears and all he got from her was loads of insults...she knew it was not the best, but he was being too stubborn and the only way to get him off was to do just that . . .and now she had to face the music.
Well, the end of the story I’m sure is not as important as the moral lessons in it. Never jam a relationship door, as you might need to pass through that same door someday! , Yes, some relationships need to be ended and fast too, agreed, but remember life is all about relationship and people come in and out of your life for a reason. Even, when you must close relationship door, be sure to end it in such that if you had to go through that same door for any reason, you’ll do so with your head held up high and with a clear conscience.
