Once a friend of ours was going home with a book from the school library, when this other friend shouted out, "You're taking that book just so that we cannot read it, right?".

type='text'>বেরিয়ে যাও</title><content type='html'>জীবনে অনেক সময় এমন আসে যখন ঠিক বা ভুল যাচাই করে আপন জনের সাথে কি ভাবে ঠিক ব্যবহার করা উচিত তা বোঝা যায় না. ভেতর ভেতর হয়ত মনে হয়, "এটা ভুল". কিন্তু যদি সামনে কোনো গুরুজন থাকেন বা কোনো প্রিয় বন্ধু থাকে তা হলে মনে দ্বিধা হয়, "এরা ঠিক বলছে না তো... আমার নিজের আত্মসম্মান বাঁচাতে পিয়ে যদি আমি একটা &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;scene create&lt;/span&gt; করি, তা হলে এইতে যারা জড়িত নয় এমন কারুর সম্মানে আঁচ লাগবে না তো?". তখন দেখেছি সশব্দ প্রতিবাদ করার থেকে ভালো হল শুধু হেঁটে বেরিয়ে যাওয়া. তাইতে দু পক্ষেরই সম্মান বজায় থাকে অথচ নিজের তরফ থেকে ভীরুর মূক সম্মতি বা অন্যায় সহ্য করাও হয় না. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Many a times in life, it becomes difficult to deal with a situation or a person when your conscience tells you "This is wrong!". Especially so, when the person in front is an elder or a near and dear one, such as a friend. Then we debate, "Although they aren't doing or saying the right thing, if I create an unnecessary scene to save my own self respect, will it hurt the sentiments or the social status of people who are entirely unrelated to the event (those who I care about)?
