Our life is a learning platform. We learn from every step of our life. Sometimes we learn from a happy event. Sometimes we learn from that situation by facing an insulting incident. Today I am going to present a big learning incident of my life in front of my Steemian friends.
The humiliating incident of my life: -
The incident happened about 35-37 years ago. I was probably in class 7 at that time. I am the son of a middle-class family. When I was in class 3, my father died. I used to study with my elder brother. Even if I was an elder brother, I could not demand as much from my brother as I could from my father. Naturally, I had a little poverty in my behavior. The clothes I wore were not of that high quality.
On the other hand, many of my school friends were from stable families. Their behavior showed nobility. We used to move together. And I thought we were true friends.
But one day my idea was shattered. And it happened through an embarrassing incident.
Some of our friends suddenly decided to go on a trip. I told my friends to give me some time and I would change my dress. Suddenly, the friend who was bragging about his nobility told me, You can get a better dress than this anywhere else, you don't even have any other dress.
A few of our friends were together, two of them looked at me and smiled, and two of them looked at that friend in surprise.
Like me, they also couldn't understand how he could say such insulting things about someone's weakness. No matter how true it was, I felt very ashamed to be insulted about my financial weakness in front of everyone. But I tried to erase the mistake with a shy smile without letting anyone understand.
Today, even after 35-37 years, I haven't forgotten that insult. I am still carrying the burden of insult on my head.
Lesson learned: -
After this humiliating incident, I reduced my association with that arrogant friend of mine.
From that moment on, I started avoiding those who were financially more independent than me and were proud of their wealth. To move forward in society, I have to relationships. But those relationships have no life.
This incident taught me that the upper class and the middle class can never be equal.
If you can keep your distance from them as much as possible, you will maintain your dignity.
You don't even realize when you hit someone's weak spot with the arrogance of nobility, so you have to take steps yourself to protect yourself from being humiliated in the future. And I always keep that in mind when building relationships.
37 years I still carry the insults of the past. I never let them show. But today, when it became necessary to talk about education from life, I couldn't help but show them.
I would like to invite three of my friends:-
