Upset that I'm upset

A certain customer called up with, what is to me, an unreasonable request, which I refuse to acceded to. At first. I relented in the end and provided him with what he wants, because, on hindsight, it's not something that I can't do.

S(i)ee wan tan! 死云吞，臭云吞！

The heart's still thumping. There's a tinge of angst dangling. What am I upset about, what am I upset about? I keep asking myself.

That he's wrong and I am right? That he's unreasonable? That I have to give in to his request despite it?

Then I realised, I'm upset that I have not convinced him he's wrong. I'm upset that, I've not positioned myself to him as being right.

It's strange how this mentality only works itself up in certain situations. I recall the times I've told my better half how it is so unimportant to be bothered by the need to 'correct' people. And the many times I've been just bochup about the views of others, as long as I know within my heart and conscience that I'm accountable only to God Himself.

Not sure what God's trying to tell me through this incident. It may only be revealed very much later in life.

But still, s(i)ee wan tan, 死云吞，臭云吞！
