A Chance

Examinations make you go slightly goo-goo-eyed. Makes your brain goes to mush and your arms ache from frantic scribbles made in a 3 hr time frame. Sometimes it gives you insights on things that are… well…. just random. Lack of stimulation makes you invent situations? Go figure.

When someone offers you a chance, do you take it?

On one side it would be awfully terrible of you to because it would mean that you are abusing your position as the one who was offered. It means that you are objectifying the whole situation and are just taking it because you can. So you can refuse and keep your pride intact. Justify your self-righteousness because you need to be independent and not bias.

On the other side, taking it means you are taking the easy way out. Because it is easier to agree and to accept rather than disagree and refuse. Because that is the faster lane to world peace. Because explaining the ‘otherwise’ that exists in your mind will take up time and energy which can be un-doubtly better spent.

Ever wonder that maybe, perhaps the person is not offering you a chance...

That there exists a possibility, in which the person is actually asking you for a chance….

That in taking the offer, you will not be indebted to him/her, and in fact he/she will be indebted to you because you gave them something that they wanted?

Giving is often charitable, making the receiver piteous. Giving can also be gratuitous, elevating the receiver to the position of worthy. Giving can be generosity and receiving humbled humility.

Who can tell giving from taking from receiving? Is there a difference?

Similarly, being the one offering doesn't make you look good or bad. It just means that you have enough courage to be the one to first risk your blood. To say, 'Hey come on, here is my heart, please don't reject it.'
