A LETTER TO A FRIEND; P2
 
Dear Maxwell,
 
It is a sunny day in town today and you will agree, it is another nice day to hang with friends around a debating table while enjoying the brewed ‘attaya.’ So accept my apology in bothering you with my few lines. I am not writing to shave your grey-hair.
 
You are one of the people of Sareh-Shedah, ‘talk-all, leave none.’ You frustrated my young friend, Zaki in the manner you challenged his deeds, his arguments and even proved to be at logger-head with him over time. By doing that, you pushed his anger button to sprout a rage un-called for. I will appreciate it next time if you can say “Thank you for sharing. Here is what we need to improve on, or here is some rectification you might want to consider.” Remember being harsh on someone has a tendency to yield a harsher reaction or simply retaliation. It is also sad you have a habit of mentioning people’s parents or grandparents which to me will never hold.
 
Therefore Maxwell, consider the following:
 

Show appreciation to all the people of town, despite your disagreement.
Don’t bring in peoples’ relatives especially parents in debates
Don’t push people to get their harsh experience. 
 
Accept my appreciation for your understanding of my words. I intend to reach out to Zaki soon. Meanwhile, I remain your companion in Sareh-shedah.
 
Yours Ever,
Aba
 
To be continued…
