When Titans clash...

I am sooooo mad right now.
Mad at myself, and two other people who think they are my friends.
I am furious at how one seemingly innocent thing has sparked a war, and in the end, I end up being the stupid one caught in between.

No...this time, I refused to say that it is my fault.
How can it be?
All it started out with was that statement on facebook....about my obsession with B&J....and how eating ice-cream helps me out with my marking.

Then it started...people added comments.
Not so much about me and B&Js...(which I can definitely take)...
but something about marking and going to 'war'.
Yup...a full scale war of words did escalate between 2 people....2 hot-headed and opinionated people.

It's either damned I do, damned I don't case.
Both are my friends...and they don't know each other....
But how dare they want me to take sides?

I am fuming because I am a coward.
Instead of telling both them off...I took the easy way out.
Easy, my foot.
Why do I have to suspend my FB accounts because of them?

Dee, you are too too too soft.
All you have to do was to give them a piece of your mind.

But as educators, they forget.
Their accounts are tied to their students...and the whole world can read the comments.
If teachers engage in verbal slanging...then what are we teaching the students?
That we cannot give and take...that arguments have to be aired in public...with name callings and all?
No...
that is the rationale that I am going by.

Sometimes, one wins by saying nothing.
People will see me as a coward, but I maintain my dignity.
What's the point of standing up for your rights..if in the process, you create a lot of unhappiness for other people.

"Hold your head high, and keep those fists down"....
I have chosen...to lose.
