The Ripple Effect Part III - the one-sided breaking of the fellowship
The one sided breaking up affair is also the hardest affair to describe because it involves the breaking up of some relationships that had lasted for at least 6 yrs. It is also a hard time because Miss Trolly feels like she had a hand to play in it. Miss Trolly has some friends n somehow with the passage of time, the friends started to gather into groups. Certain misunderstandings and miscommunications widen the rift between the groups. Miss Trolly has always been threading the thin red line carefully so that I can be nuetral. In fact, Miss Trolly was thinking of arranging a chalet to mend the gaps between the groups.
Unfortunately, a small pebble of dissent soon expanded and the ripples were all felt by the members. Some of us began to have a innocent idea (from their point of view) that might help some of the drifters to gather and "talk". However to the bulk of the friends, the idea seems like a coup or a mutiny to do their in. This is further complexed by the grapevine n malicious ppl who gossiped and made things wor. initially some knew, then more knew and by then the effects were not small and they keep on building up and the domino effects occur when one thing leads to another.
To cut a long story short, small disgreements, misunderstandings leads to fragmentation, fragmentation leads to more miscommunication amongst groups which in turn leads to more n more miscommunication before a action is taken. However when the action is taken, it is taken not in a accepted or a kind way but rather as a rebellious, unreasonable and unacceptable mutiny. This affected the morale of all those affected and also made bad blood between some old friends.
The small small unhappiness leads to a big big effect and a horrendous result.
May there be no more happenings.
May I know how to thread the thin red line more carefully this time round...
I must find the me, the one whom I know I wanna be ;
