Today morning while on a conversation with my Husband I said “ Don’t Mind” followed by an unpleasant statement . He didn’t say a word but left the place. I too didn’t elongate the matter and quietly slipped into my kitchen, the place where I often get me-time and do lots of permutation-combination.
While cleaning up my kitchen , I kept on asking myself , why did I say “Don’t mind” when I knew my later expressions would not be very pleasing to him. I will tell you what; I was rude and harsh. Actually I recognized that to make the statement more intensified I used “ Don’t mind”, so that before listening to my ultimate notes he sits straight and get conscious .
I said, kitchen is a place for me where I do lots of permutation-combination exercises. I tried to visualize the fact in a more elaborate canvas You see the expression “ Darkness Visible”(from Milton’s Paradise Lost) is a figure of speech where opposites “darkness” and “visibility” are brought together for a greater effect. Similarly the word “ Don’t mind” followed by a non-welcoming statement pricks like a shrill , sharp thorn in the heart of the listener. I really fail to understand what self –satisfaction I/we achieve by tickling other’s sentiment but often I/we do so. And it is nothing but the sick part of our mind which allows us to react like this. After analyzing all the fact , I felt very sad from within, sad to think that I too am the part of this stale game. I too could not glorify myself by making myself free from this word “Don’t Mind” followed by an irritating statement.
I do not say this is the obvious use of the word , we can make it use in a better way also .Must there be conflict between truly better self and own self , thus I/we need to improvise our own self and try to be a better person.
So before using the word “Don’t Mind”, think twice…….hey..don’t mind for the advise..ha..ha..
Life is a balance and it is really difficult to keep it that way sometimes. I know your hubby and I am sure he will understand that you said it with no intention to hurt. Every body needs to blow steam sometimes.
