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.
