Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.

5. Just this once

I was a nobody and I didn't deserve to speak with them, I didn't deserve anything, I deserved only the pain I got. But Yet, I said something because I hated sexism and  I was tired of it. Each gender fighting for dominance forgetting that we all are equal, forgetting that we are stronger together, forgetting that we complement one another, forgetting all that needed to be remember, and remembering all that should have been forgotten.

I didn't want to be part of that fight, the fight for dominance made me sick.

"What are you saying are you trying to say that women are inferior to men, that you support how women have been treated by men in the past. Do you mean to say that____ Amaya was yelling angrily. She never wanted me to share my own opinion, I was to always agree with her as her tag along, her shadow.

"No,no no no no" I shouted cutting her off before she completed her last sentence, I didn't want her to hate me. Why did I bring a contrary view to hers, I'm so stupid I thought sadly. Who was I to share my own opinion, I keep forgetting that I am nothing. When will I learn. 

"That's not what I mean I swear," I continued trying to reason with her, she was my master, without her I will be better of dead.

"Then what are you saying?" she asked irritated.

I didn't want to say anything, I didn't want to speak, I didn't want to reply. I probably will be wrong about this like I'm wrong about everything else including living. Yet, I spoke because my believe felt true, real, and maybe just this once I will be right.

Just this once
