People you like and people you don't (for no reason).



I was reading a Doreamon comic the other day (used to buy one every month) , and I was reading one particular chapter which proved to be funny to me as a kid but when I grew up I realised it was quite relevant in life now. The story starts with Nobita, Giant, Sinyu and the other kids playing baseball at the field. An unnamed character accidentally bumps Giant face first into a mud patch while trying to catch a ball. Seeing this, Nobita is in horror because he expects Giant to pummel him to dust or have his face punched in ala Doreamon comic style. Instead, the kid just apologises and Giant doesn't seem so angry after all. Nobita, thinking that God is funny and that Giant is passive today, tries to kick Giant and get the same reaction the other kid got.

He gets his face punched in.

Sometimes you really do feel sorry for him.

Well, anyway, he goes back with a black eye complaining to Doraemon about how it didn't work out the way he hoped so. Here, Doraemon explains that everybody does not treat everybody the same way. People will always like a certain type of person, whether the reason is known or not. Same goes to dislike, some people just don't like a certain type of person, again, known or unknown reason. Story cut short, Doraemon just gives Nobita some pills to make people like him no matter what and he misuses them (Nobita is a misunderstood genius) and in the end takes the wrong pills from Doraemon that make people hate him.

The point being, to make people like us no matter what we should get the pill right?

Yup, and we should ask Santa Claus for it.

No, life is just like that and unfortunately whether your working class or student or doing nothing. It happens. People may not like us for no reason and we might not like people for no reason. I've seen it a lot of times, I accidentally throw a ball to this guy's head, apologise, and get away scot- free. Another guy does it and he gets the pissing off of a lifetime, no matter how much he apologises. Just an example, it happens both ways. I'm late to a function and I get screwed over. Another guy does it and its all good. Why? I don't know. Maybe its in the genes. Maybe be its your face. Or maybe.. I just don't like you.
