Argument.

I never liked to argue with anyone I know. I hated to fight about anything with another person. Usually if I do get into an argument, I would let the other person win in a matter of minutes. I just don’t see why I have to continue trying to win my case, I would rather let the other person continue with his own decisions and let the other person face his own consequences so that I can come back to him and say, ‘Didn’t I told you so?’.

That has always been me. Arguments were never my thing, especially when I happen to be one of them arguing. I don’t mind helping others in argument to settle an agreement but I always hated to argue. Whether it was with my friends or my parents.

Recently, as you all should know if you read the newspaper frequently, New Zealand was struck with two freaking earthquakes. I had been there for these two major quakes as well the subsequent aftershocks. It had been a major hit in my emotional and psychological being, although my physical being was spared. I thank the heavens above for protecting me from physical harm but they were helpless when it came to psychological and emotional feelings. I felt so much loneliness, isolation, sadness, anxiety…I feel like I could just about explode.

I watch as most other students over here heading home to a safer place after the 2nd quake. Most of them talking about transferring out of my university or just delaying their enrolment until a further date. In my mind, I wondered why nothing was done for me. All I got was just ‘Are you alright? Just stay safe and take care, okay.’ I know it is something of a detachment from parental consent that my parents are trying to do but to leave me here in the midst of extreme chaos, I am but speechless. Most of my friends that I’ve told them about this, they even said their parents are still wondering why my ass is still in this hellhole. I wonder why too.

I admit, by transferring out and whatelseyoumay is going to cost my parents a lot more as well as delay in my education, but I am ready for that because I rather much wait a bit longer than to spend my time here any longer.

I have to say first, I do enjoy New Zealand, with it’s amazing skies, cooling weather most of the time, awesome accommodation services, fantastic lectures and whatelseyoumay, but I am not willing to risk my life over all these replaceable things. After all, there’s only one me and thousands of those other things in this world.

I also know, by doing this, my parents will have a tough time, with more uncertainties about me. But, sigh….. I have decided that I would follow whatever my parents were to decide for me. I will stay here if they insisted on it or if they do allow me home, I will do so willingly. I do not think I would want to continue persuading anymore. I'll just let them be my deciders. If that is even a word.

Arguments are such horrible things in anybody’s life. They cause rifts among friends, silence among family members and breakups among couples. Never let an argument cause damage in your life, like an earthquake that rips the ground into two. Always remember, solve problems in a peaceful manner because we do not need a war to enrage all the time.
