Negative thoughts
Hello everyone, I am Tanvir back with another post today. I am going to share one of my experiences I had while travelling in bus.
So I was going to Dhaka from Chittagong by night bus. The bus was too late to leave. Even then, just before I could go any further, I saw a phone call from the driver, who stopped the bus on one side of the road, got out of there, and lit a cigarette while talking. After waiting for about fifteen minutes, when he had no intention to come back to his driving seat , a couple of passengers got off the bus and saw him standing alone, smoking a cigarette. The passengers of the bus were all shouting. Some were saying who the hell you think you are? you are wasting our time and many other words being said. Someone went a little deeper and said, it must have a connection with the bandits, call the police. When the passengers got off from the bus and was just about to attack him, the man came back, sat in the driving seat and said, "My daughter died a while ago." The passengers were silent and saw that he had traveled the remaining two hundred and fifty kilometers with the grief of this death.
Do not react in a hurry. If you look at the lens of the binoculars a little in the opposite direction, you will see that the things that seem big at the moment will get smaller.

This is so sad. We shouldn´t react in an hurry until we listen to the stories and we should never conclude. I really felt for him losing his daughter and still had to transport passengers to their destinations in such grieving moment.
Can't even tell you how I felt. I still remember the way he said with those teary eyes.
🥺🥺 it's such a sad and painfull experience to live with as a parent who lose their child, I hope he'll be able to gradually get over the it.
This a typical lesson we all ought to learn, no to be over reactive or jumping to conclusions without adequate knowledge of what really happen or why some behaves the way they do.
Though I can't totally blame the passenger, the situation of insecurity in the country is growing worst by the day, and we don't know who is who again.
This narration left me shattered , we are so rapid to make judgement. I have travelled allot and i can witness that how much tolerance level do drivers need when they are being made responsible for the life of all the passengers. We are moving to certain location but they have to go no where.
Negative always prevails positive. But we shouldn't remain outspoken while making judgement

Yes I do agree that the passengers were also right in a way but I personally felt that they should have asked him before reacting in this manner.
I couldn't even sleep well that specific day. I was wondering how he felt at that time. I can also feel him in a way because I lost my father at a very early age. Losing your loved one is something you can never digest.
