Yesterday, I talked about my approaches regarding playing a victim card or acknowledging the responsibilities and acting accordingly. Here I am, facing an authority making a serious blunder and playing the victim card instead of stepping up and trying to fix it. Such a careless move for a very sophisticated matter kinda made me so pissed off and surprised that I'm kinda perplexed to say anything. All I'm doing is watching patiently to see how it ends, and then I might say something.
So the thing is, the concerned authority I'm talking about has always claimed they are very much cooperative, go beyond the hardcoded rules and regulations for the benefit of us, as we call ourselves a family. Those claims are true as well; we have seen them doing so, but maybe those were the moments when things were a little bit easier. The rest of the test begins when things are hot or so.
The actual incident is like, the authority has still within their buffer limits, technically they are still right in their place, but the matter is not about strict rules and regulations, it's more on the side of values and what best fits for your people. Like, the other authorities of the same kind could have walked in the same path, right? Rules and regulations are in their hands, too; they could have implemented them, too, right? But what's the matter with doing that when you can literally pull the trigger that directly benefits your people and all?
All the other authorities have made things clear at the beginning of this month, in the first week. It's a holy month, we all have our expenses, and so to maintain, we expect cordial behaviour and help so we can make things smoother to pass this month. In a few places, the authorities went the extra mile; they did more than what they are bound to do, a gesture of love to be precise. We tried to draw their attention to that as well, but kinda waste of time, so we dropped that. All we were praying and hoping that they wouldn't mess up with the actual stuff, and guess what, that's what happened at the end of the day.
I tried to communicate a few times, wanted to know the actual root cause of the delay, which could have given me the assurance of how many days it may take, instead of waiting restlessly and checking each and every hour, and going in vain. They are making excuses and all instead of pressuring the responsible entity to make it quick, instead of admitting what's being told. I know, there is a blunder on their end or from the other end which making this delay, they won't acknowledge that, instead making us suffer.
So yeah, nothing to do, just sitting quietly, as I know it won't matter, as I have already tried. All I'm doing is remembering these incidents so it may spark something bigger when the right time comes. I may make some hard decisions for my benefit.
