What a question!

Have you ever been asked about certain things and then, ended up in receiving certain doubts back about the topic? This is the funny thing about some people who apparently irritates me especially knowing that she just couldn't accept the answers well.

I was studying for my biology lesson the other day, when my friend, received a call from a lady classmate. She wanted to know some definitions of a certain topic and within ten minutes, they are on the verge of strangling each other. Why? This is because, she could not accept the answer or explanation given by him on the topic itself.

Apparently, I thought I can ignore the fact that there were arguing continuously. Suddenly, my friend passed me the hand phone and requested me to answer her queries. Without a doubt, I ended up arguing with her on the same topic too. I finally managed to convince her on the answer right about 20 minutes of discussion. I was appalled by the time I concluded the conversation with her.

The question that I am puzzled with such people is that, they simply do not understand the moral etiquettes of respecting the person whom they asked. Now, my principle is simple. If you do not believe someone in anything, why in the first place, would you ask the person a question? Isn't this mind boggling? It is like I am puzzled why dolphins are regarded as mammals and I questioned my Science Teacher on this fact and refuse to accept her teachings. Hmm, doesn't that sound familiar? My friends will surely remember this.

OK, let me briefly tell you on an incident that happened to me during my contract teaching. I was questioned by a parent on a particular topic on Science. She was not satisfied with her daughter's mistake in one of the Science questions. The question was as follows. Is dolphins regarded as a mammal or a fish? Of course, the answer to this,will be Mammals. Dolphins have hairs, breathe through their lungs and its female can produce milk to feed its young and many more. She was not satisfied that her daughter did not answer this question correctly and tried to pull a quick one in this. She even asked me to question the scientist on this fact! Amazing how some people can go about in wanting to get what they hoped to achieve.

In the end, I told her that it is not my jurisdiction to change a scientific theory. I also informed her that this was mentioned repeatedly in the syllabus and in many science encyclopedias. Oh well, she accepted it gradually after an hour of conversation. Interesting right?

That is the problem with some people. There are always stubborn in accepting realities or answers to certain questions easily. There are just too darn narrow minded. Oh my.
