Respect for other people's decisions

Respect for other people's decisions

This topic came to me after I visited my ex-colleagues today. While many were glad to see me, some were not. I wonder if I have offended them in the past. Well, even if I have, I hope that they can put it behind. After all, what is past is history. There is no point brooding over it.

With reference to PK, I think he is still not over the fact that I left the organization so early. Perhaps he is angry at the fact that all the team resignations took place at a time when I was there. Perhaps he is thinking that I instigated them to do so. And he has probably blacklisted me already.

If we view the entire situation objectively, we could see that each of our decision was motivated by different factors. AS much as we hope that sometimes, the people whom we need can stay and help us, we have to recognize that they need to move on with their lives too. So why can't we respect that people have the rights to make decisions that impact their own lives and give them our support?

Have we been so preoccupied with our own priorities and selfish needs that we overlook the fact that other people have their rights to their own lives and decisions too?
