TeaDidikai Collowrath Easier said than done, not associating with someone you work with, I mean. If it were me, I would give her the basic courtesy of anyone other stranger - but I wouldn't be offering up conversation or to bring her anything back for lunch, etc. I just hope everyone else there can get their heads out of their butts and realize how much that really hurt you. I guess that has me so upset is the feeling of betrayal. She has litteraly, leaned on me and cried after a hard day of work. We're talking, I had to wash my uniform to remove the tears. I considered her a friend. But in her eyes, I don't deserve the most basic forms of professionalism.
Wow. That makes it just that much worse. :/ Betrayal is something I've found to be distinctly unforgivable.
Has she made any peaceful overtures? Or does she continue to act as if you're in the wrong for not wanting to be insulted? Would it matter if she did try to rectify the situation? |

At this point, I really don't want anything to do with her. She is mistreated for her socio-economic condition, but I gave her a fair shake anyway, even offered money out of my own pocket to make sure she and her family could eat. She never apologized, not even in a "I'm sorry, but..." sort of way. So, I don't see me having any contact with her again.
Wow. Way to be a friend huh? In that position, I'd have felt the same way you are and reacted in much the same manner. Save yourself the time and energy and money. She should know better! I guess she dug her hole, now she can wallow in it. |

Looking at a situation and realising that you can't defend your faith in a sane way and it is better to walk away is a hard thing to do.
Yet I had to a few days ago.
Every year my city has an Emancipation Day celebration. My mom took me and sis down there because she like Mo-town music, and they were playing it. It mostly wasn't bad, until I saw someone who I went to high school with.
At a booth.
Selling runes and things with runes on them.
Nevermind that she had drawn some of them wrong (Othala was upside-down at a point where it clearly wasn't supposed to be (not a bindrune, not some sort of design, more in a list of them and just upside-down for no discernable reason) and Fehu was just drawn wrong), nevermind that she was advertising them as nothing more than an alphabet and a universal divination medium, nevermind that the entire thing made NO ******** SENSE, the fact that it was an Emancipation Day festival just caused the cosmic irony levels to reach astronomic proportions. And me to see red.
I stood there for a few minutes trying to put together a tangible thought on how to address this to her without leaping over the table or calling her seven kinds of a moron, but the words didn't come.
Well, that's a bad way of putting it. Words came, but there were more along the line of pure insults that would have done nothing to correct the situation, followed by a strong need to enact physical violence on this person for decontextualising my religion down to a thing and then putting those things on head bands.
I couldn't quite perceive anything but anger at the time, but when I got away from the situation, I was disappointed. Disappointed in what I saw, disappointed in my lack of ability to do anything helpful and disappointed that had I done anything but walk away and imagine that person dying in creative ways it would have ended in me yelling at her about what a culturally insensitive and discriminatory b***h she is. And I don't actually want to know what the reprecussions of that would have been.
Over all, it was disappointing.
