Transcript

00:00You have come to me, you want a shoulder to cry on, fine, I'll offer mine, take the shoulder,

00:04cry as much as you want to, but now that I have listened to you, I want you to listen

00:08to me.

00:09If such reciprocity can be there, then it's alright to listen to such a person because

00:14that will afford you the opportunity to speak.

00:16However, if such a person wants to have a one-way thing, I'll come, I'll dump and I'll

00:22walk away.

00:23Then you are being used as a waste basket, no point.

00:28And by turning yourself into that kind of a waste bin, you are doing no good to that

00:33person either.

00:34You are only reinforcing the sense of victimization that the person is carrying, mostly erroneously.

00:43You are actually becoming a passive participant in all the mischief that this person is knowingly

00:50or unknowingly playing.

00:51What is the mischief?

00:52The mischief is to paint oneself as a victim and the entire world as the culprit.
