Reasons (Not) To Fight

There's a reason why humans fight everyday no matter how big or small the thing is. That reason is called 'human nature'. Yes, whatever we humans do, there is always an excuse for everything. It's not entirely wrong, though. Like I said, it is our nature. However, when we look at the funny side of it, it is worth a laugh.

We normally fight for trivial things; those are not really significant or going to have any effect on our lives. But with a good reason, we gladly agree to disagree, so to speak. Here I list four of them:

1. Parking space

Have you ever been to a shopping complex during weekends? Sure you have. And obviously every hour on Saturday or Sunday is the peak hour. Parking's full, so you have to go and move around in your car, looking for a space to rest you mini Volkswagen or modified Kancil. If you fail to get one, you wait for some good Samaritans to go out and save your day. But, if another car interferes and takes your supposed-to-be parking space all of a sudden, like that Persian character in '300' movie you say, "This is madness!" Congratulations, you just won yourself a reason to fight.

2. Football club

This is my favorite. We're not the ones who play the game, and obviously we're not the ones who manage any of those teams that get involved in the football league (EPL, La Liga, TM Malaysia Super League, you name it). But just because we have a preferred team and support it to the grave, we hail it like no one cares. Seriously, people fight for this reason as if by doing so the table will turn. I'm one of them (but not a hardcore one). I read the statistics first. Glory! Glory! Oops.

3. Famous people

Oh yeah, this case is almost the same as the previous one. Don't we realize it? Paris Hilton won't be bothered even if fans spend years debating over who is smarter; the songstress or her Chihuahua. Fasha Sandha's bank account won't get empty even if a third world war (figuratively speaking) begins and originally caused by her fans and not-so fans in Facebook. Well, you get the point and no offense intended.

4. Sales and discounts

Boys don't look at girls, and girls don't stare back at boys who look at them. Both are equally guilty as charged. Everybody loves items tagged with sale prices. Everybody fights for it. "I'm sorry, I saw this one first!" and "Yes, you saw it first but I held it earlier!" Let's bring it to the court and decide who gets custody of it, shall we? Na'ah.
