(2)    A story with Cause and Effect 

    I have always wondered why some people are driven mad so easily. And exactly the same I asked myself one shining morning.

    That day I was in a queue waiting for my cup of coffee to recharge my batteries and not even anticipating that in a few minutes a trivial incident will spark “a storm in a teacup”. In retrospect, I would say that stepping on the foot of a man behind me is not a big deal and asking for an excuse would be just enough…but nothing of the sort! What was the possible motive of that guy for retaliating is still a secret to me, who knows, maybe, he was in a black mood that day. Anyway, one thing led to another...he egged me on to have a word with him. I took my fresh coffee and, at first, trying to keep a cool head, I made an attempt to go my own way, but he stood in a way, which led to a knock-on effect: I split my coffee on his white shirt. Obviously, that aroused an uncontrollable rage and he clenched his fist angrily. Thank God, I didn't suffer the consequences: someone gave him a call and he ran out like the wind…

   All I can say now is that it was an unfortunate chain of events.
