Imagine I got a hand on a magic wand, and now I can a wish for a few things that I never had to do/deal with in my life ever again. Before I start telling you my list, drop down yours in the comment section. Maybe I like your list and give a visit to your list post. I might not have a magic wand in real life, but I can still do some magic to your post. ;)

Coming back to the topic now, I have a magical, and I wanna change a few things to get rid of.

Here is my "I Wish I Never Had To" list:

Honesty:

_SOURCE

Yes, I wish I had never dealt with any dishonest person. When I say it, I mean it. All my younger years, I prayed to not have power so I couldn't abuse it. When I prayed, I focused on my physical strength at that time. Consider it in a way, someone saying Police is wrong, but I will not join it and fix it. As I gained some experience in life, I realized the true meaning of power and authority. With power comes responsibility, which is starting to make sense to me.

Now I am living a life of honesty with my profession and trying to stay on the right path as much as possible. Because of all this mental growth, I can't bear dishonest people. Sometimes my seniors told me to forgive people over small dishonest deeds and ways. I got that as it's a command, not a request, but in my heart, I also have a hole every time I encounter a dishonest person. With this magic wand, I want all dishonest people to vanish from our planet. Sorry for being too strict, but everyone's emotions are based on life experiences, and mine is just bad related to this context. (This month, 5 fake screenshots of my chat were made. Cropping some parts of the conversation or simply using fake chat generators and adding a thick wall of words to put words into a person's mouth while trying best to change the full context.)

Task Reminder:

_SOURCE

Nobody is your Alexa or google calendar. If a team lead assigns a task, please complete it on time. It's not mentally healthy for someone to worry about if the other person has done the task or not. Maybe it's not common in your part of the world or not, but my experience is also different here. Sometimes, I wish to never assign someone a task because they will come up with lame excuses the next day, and now you have one less day to work on that task. Sooner or later, you realize you should have done it in the first place. It's common in study projects but not very rare in workplaces too. So I don't wanna be anybody's Alarm Clock, Alexa, or Google Calendar. Magic wand, I wish for you to remind them (you can hit them with a bang if you like xD).

Promises:

_SOURCE

You might have encountered people who give you false hopes. In another part of the world, it's ok to say "NO." Just say "NO"; it's that simple. But no, we want to give another person big hopes that they will get updates related to the fake promise, and one day, they will realize it was a fake promise. It happened to me a lot of the time. I was around 17 when I made my first online friend, and we played 8-ball pool online. We had family terms already. He gave me false hopes that If I came to his city, we would do this and that, etc. He thought I would never go as it was not logically possible, but Surprise, Surprise..... I celebrated my birthday turning 18 at his place. It was a big thing for me. Instead of spending time with me (even if he didn't fulfill his promises), he left to play cricket before I woke up and returned at 1 at night. This is how I celebrated my birthday. With someone who gave me false hopes and, instead of fulfilling them, just vanished on my birthday. After 2 more days of stay, I came back to my city. This trip was around 2-3 weeks, but I returned earlier. So, I wish if someone makes a promise to me, then they must be a keeper.

How was it related to my list? When someone breaks a promise, they give you early signs of not being a keeper. I wanna end that toxic relationship in its early stages. I am not in a fantasy land accusing someone of not being a keeper, but sometimes the signs are crystal clear. As human nature, we are sometimes willing to continue the relationship and then get upset about fake promises. Dear magic wand, I wish to you to keep fake promise makers away from me or give me the courage to end the toxic relationships.

That's it from my side. I hope you will share your list of "I Wish I Never Had To" with me. I would love to read them.

Let me know your personal thoughts about dishonesty and share your experience related to a dishonest person.

Have you ever had to remind someone about the tasks? If so, I would love to read your story.

Do you have something to say about fake promises?

Do let me know your thought about this blog. Looking forward to reading your feedback!
